The system runs a check on certain components and functions in the vehicle when the ignition is switched on or while the vehicle is in motion. Func-tional faults are indicated by red and yellow sym· bols with warning and text messages in the instru-ment cluster display (warning and indicator lamps =>page 16). An acoustic warning is also given in certain cases. Different instrument cluster designs will have different displays.
Priority 1 warning message. Red

Information mes-sage. Information about various procedures within the vehicle.
Mileage displays
The odomelerregisters the total distance travelled by the car.
The trip recorder(trip) shows the distance travel-led since the trip recorder was last reset. The last digit of the trip recorder indicates distances of 100 metres or tenths of a mile.
Outside temperature display
If the outside temperature falls below +4 ·c (+39.F), the temperature display also shows a "snowflake symbol"{(-. This symbol flashes and then remains constantly lit until the outside temper-ature rises above +6•c (+43.F)
If the vehicle is stationary, the supplementary heat-ing system (=>page 332) is on or the vehicle is travelling at very low speeds, the temperature dis-played may be slightly higher than the actual out-side temperature due to heat radiated from the en-gine.
The measuring range lies between -4o•c (·40.F) and +so•c (+122°F).
Compass display
When the ignition and navigation system are switched on, the instrument cluster display shows the current direction of travel.
Selector lever position
