Indicator And Warning Lamps; The Concept - BMW 2009 M3 Owner's Manual

Indicator and warning lamps

The concept

Indicator and warning lamps can light up in a
variety of combinations and colors.
Some lamps are checked for proper functioning
and thus come on briefly when the engine is
started or the ignition is switched on.
Explanatory text messages
Text messages at the top edge of the Control
Display describe the meanings of the indicator
and warning lamps.
You can call up more information, e.g. on the
cause of a malfunction and on how to respond,
via Check Control, refer to page 76.
In urgent cases, this information will be shown
as soon as the corresponding lamp comes on.
