    Warning and indicator lamps Warning and indicator lamps General notes Some systems carry out a self-diagnosis when the ignition is switched on. Therefore, some indi- cator and warning lamps may light up or flash temporarily. This behavior is non-critical. These indicator and warning lamps only indicate a malfunction if they light up or flash after starting the engine or whilst driving.
