Dashboard Instruments and Controls
Inefficiency of one of the dual brake
system cycle is indicated by the brake
warning light, which will turn on when
the brake fluid level in the master
cylinder has dropped below a certain
level.
The warning light will remain lit until
the problem has been solved. If the
brake warning light flashes for 10
seconds with the electric parking brake
warning light and the related message
on, an EPB system failure has occurred.
If a brake failure occurs, visit the
4
Service Network as soon as possible in
order to check up the brake system. In
the event of an Electronic Brake Force
Distribution (EBD) failure, both the
brake warning light and the ABS light
illuminate.
Immediate repair of the ABS system is
required.
Functioning of the brake warning light
can be checked by turning the ignition
device from OFF to RUN position.
The warning light should illuminate
for approximately 2 seconds.
The warning light should switch off
unless the parking brake is engaged
or a brake fault is detected. If the
warning light does not illuminate,
have the light system overhauled by
the Service Network.

The warning light will also switch on
when the parking brake is engaged
with the ignition device in RUN

WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake
light on can be very dangerous.
Part of the brake system may have
failed, resulting in increased braking
distances and the risk of an accident.
Have the vehicle checked as soon as
possible at the Service Network.
Air bag Warning Light
This warning light will
illuminate for a few seconds for
a bulb check when the ignition
device is in RUN. If the warning light
does not illuminate while starting
the engine, stays lit, or switches on
while driving, have the system checked
at the Service Network as soon as
possible.
In the latter case, the message will
remain displayed: to hide it, press the
button on the steering wheel right
side.

Air bags" in section "Safety" .
WARNING!
If the warning light remains ON or if
it does not illuminate or illuminates
while driving, contact your Service
Network as soon as possible.
Right Turn Signal Indicator Light
This indicator lights up when
the right turn signals or the
hazard lights are switched on.
The indicator light will flash at the
same frequency of the turn indicators
and is controlled by the multifunction
lever behind the steering wheel.
