WARNING LIGHTS

AND MESSAGES

GENERAL WARNINGS

Lighting of a warning light is associated to
a specific message and/or buzzer when ap-
plicable. These indications are brief and
precautionary and as such must not be
considered as exhaustive and/or alterna-
tive to the information contained in the
Owner's Handbook, which you are rec-
ommended to read carefully in all cases.
Refer to the information in this chap-
ter in the event of a failure indication.
IMPORTANT Failure indications on the
display fall into either of two categories:
serious faults and less serious faults.
Serious failures are indicated by a re-
peated and prolonged warning "cycle".
Less serious failures are indicated by a
limited warning "cycle".
Press MENU ESC to stop the warning
cycle in both cases. The warning light on
the instrument panel will stay on until the
cause of the fault is eliminated.
