GENERAL WARNINGS

nied by specific message and/or by buzzer
sound where provided by instrument pan-
el. These indications are concise and
cautionary and shall not be considered
as exhaustive and/or as an alternative to
the specifications contained in this Own-
er Handbook which shall always be read
through carefully and thoroughly. In case
of failure indication always refer to the
specifications contained in this sec-
tion.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed
are divided into two categories: very se-

Very serious failures are indicated by a
repeated and prolonged warning "cycle".
Less serious failures are indicated by a
limited warning "cycle".
The warning cycle of both failure classes
can be stopped by pressing button
