Library of indicator and warning lamps
When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few
seconds in the instrument panel and/or
instrument panel screen when the vehicle's
ignition is switched on.
When the engine is started, these same
warning lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the
information in the table on the warning lamp
concerned.
Associated warnings
The illumination of certain warning lamps
may be accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument panel or
multifunction screen.
The warning lamps may come on continuously
(fixed) or flash.
Certain warning lamps may come on in one of
two modes. Only by relating the type of lighting
to the operating status of the vehicle can it be
ascertained whether the situation is normal or
whether a fault has occurred.
