Symbols in the instrument cluster

The warning and indicator lamps indicate various warnings, faults or certain functions. Some

warning and indicator lamps light up when the ignition is switched on and should go out once the

engine is running or the vehicle is in motion.

For details on indicator lamps that light up in the light switch, see Chapter “Lights” (→ Dipped beam,

Operation).

WARNING

Failure to observe illuminated warning lamps and text messages can lead to your vehicle breaking

down in traffic, and can cause accidents and serious injury.
