General notes
Some systems perform a self test when the ignition is switched on. Some warning and indicator
lamps may temporarily switch on or flash during the test. This behaviour is nothing to be concerned about.
The warning and indicator lamps will alert you to a malfunction if they switch on or flash after the
drive system is started or while driving. Wa
