Warning and indicator lamps
Visual indicators which inform the driver of the occurrence of a malfunction (warn-
ing lamp) or of the operation of a system (operation or deactivation indicator lamp).
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 the display of a message.

lowing warning lamps indicates a malfunction which requires action on the part of the driver.

warning lamp coming on is al-
ways accompanied by the dis-
play of an additional message,
to assist you in identifying the
