Several of the lamps are checked for proper
functioning when the engine is started or the
ignition is switched on, and light up briefly.
What to do in case of a malfunction
A list of all indicator and warning lamps, as well
as notes on possible causes of malfunctions
and on how to respond, refer to page 190.
