Indicator And Warning Lamps - CITROEN DS3 Owner's Handbook Manual

Indicator and warning lamps

Visual indicators informing the driver
that a system is in operation (operation
or deactivation indicator lamps) or of the
occurrence of a fault (warning lamp).
When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few
seconds when the vehicle's ignition is
switched on.
When the engine is started, these same
warning lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off,
refer to the information on the warning
lamp concerned.
The passenger's airbag system
operation lamp stays on for about a
minute after switching on the ignition,
even after the engine has started.
Associated warnings
The illumination of certain warning lamps may
be accompanied by an audible signal and a
message in the multifunction screen.
The warning lamps may come on
continuously (fixed) or flash.
Certain warning lamps may come
on in two different modes. Only by
relating the type of lighting to the
operating status of the vehicle can it
be ascertained whether the situation is
normal or whether a fault has occurred.
