Warning and Indicator Lights
on Speedometer
The following telltales are displayed
on the speedometer, and related
messages are visible for 5 seconds
on the central sector of the display,
unless otherwise indicated (see "TFT
Display: Warning/Indicator Lights of
Set Modes/Functions" paragraph in
this chapter).
Gasoline
Diesel
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) is part of an onboard
diagnostic system that monitors
engine and automatic transmission
control systems.
Under normal conditions, this indicator
light should switch on when the
ignition switch is in RUN position and
switch off as soon as the engine is
started.
This is a sign of the indicator light
working properly. If the indicator
remains lighted up or switches on
while driving, there is a failure in the
fuel supply/ignition and emission
control systems.
The failure could cause high exhaust
emissions, loss of performance,
poor vehicle handling and high
consumption levels.
Under these conditions you can
proceed slowly without forcing the
engine or driving at high speeds. The
indicator light will switch off if the
problem is solved.
The error will be registered by the
system in any case.
Dashboard Instruments and Controls
CAUTION!
•
When the ignition switch is in the
RUN position and the indicator light
does not switch on or it switches on
while driving, contact the Service
Network as soon as possible.
•
Prolonged driving with the MIL on
could cause damage to the engine
control system. It also could affect
fuel economy and driveability. If
the MIL is flashing, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
may occur. Immediate service is
required.
Left Turn Signal Indicator Light
The indicator lights up when
the left direction indicators or
the hazard lights are turned
on.
The indicator light will flash at the
same frequency of the turn indicators
and is controlled by the multifunction
lever behind the steering whell.
If the vehicle electronics sense that the
vehicle drives for more than 1.6 km
(1 mile) with either turn signal on, a
continuous sound will alert the driver
to turn the signal off.
If the indicator flashes at a rapid rate,
check for a defective exterior light
bulb.
