Don’t panic! Despite seeing a new light pop-up on your instrument panel, unless it is red it is likely the car is still running ne, and while there may be a
problem to attend to, proceed with condence and patience.
RED
Red indicates a potentially serious problem or safety issue. Attend to it! Red may also indicate an important reminder.
YELLOW
Yellow/orange means something needs to be serviced or repaired soon. If it is ashing, it is important that you contact your rental agent for advice.
GREEN
Green or blue is only telling you that a system is on or operating normally.
WARNING LIGHTS AND WHAT THEY MEAN
Deadlock / safelock messages shown on the instrument display when the engine is turned off simply indicate that once you exit the vehicle and lock the
doors, they’re effectively deadlocked and anyone left in the car wouldn’t be able to get out in the event of an emergency. The warning is nothing to worry
about and is just a standard advisory message.
