WARNING LIGHTS

AND MESSAGES

GENERAL WARNINGS

is accompanied by specific message and/or
by buzzer sound where provided by in-
strument panel. These indications are
concise and cautionary and shall not be
considered as exhaustive and/or as an al-
ternative to the specifications contained
in this Owner Handbook which shall al-
ways be read through carefully and thor-
oughly. In case of failure indication always
refer to the specifications contained
in this section.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed
are divided into two categories: very se-
rious and less serious failures.
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
