KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
88
WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
WARNING The warning light/symbol switches on in the instrument panel together with a dedicated message and/or acoustic warning
when applicable. These indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or
alternative to the information contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. Always refer to
the information in this section in the event of a failure indication.
WARNING Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious failures. Serious faults are
indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning "cycle" with a shorter duration.
The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted. The warning light/symbol on the instrument panel will stay on until the cause
of the malfunction is eliminated.

Dealership.
