Warning and indicator
lamps
Displayed as symbols, visual indicators
which inform the driver of the occurrence
of a malfunction (warning lamps) or of the
operating status of a system (operation or
deactivation indicator lamps). Certain lamps
light up in two ways (fixed or flashing) and/or in
several colours.

Associated warnings

The illumination of a lamp can be accompanied
by an audible signal and/or a message
displayed in a screen.
Relating the type of alert to the operating status
of the vehicle allows you to determine whether
the situation is normal or a fault has occurred:
refer to the description of each lamp for further
information.

When the ignition is switched on

Certain red or orange warning lamps come on
for a few seconds when the ignition is switched
on. These warning lamps should go off as soon
as the engine is started.
For more information on equipment or
a function, refer to the corresponding section.

Persistent warning lamp

When the engine is running or the vehicle is
being driven, the illumination of a red or orange
warning lamp indicates a fault that needs
further investigation, using any associated
message and the description of the warning
lamp in the documentation.
