When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
When the engine is started, these warning lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the information on the warning lamp
in question.

Associated warnings
The illumination, fi xed or fl ashing, of certain warning lamps may be accompanied
by an audible signal and a message in the multifunction screen or in the central
colour screen associated with the satellite navigation system.

ing warning lamps indicates a malfunction which requires action on the part of the driver.
The warning comes on in the instrument panel or appears in the central colour screen
associated with the satellite navigation system.
If your vehicle has a screen,
a warning lamp coming on is
always accompanied by the dis-
play of an additional message,
to assist you in identifying the
