The warning and indicator lamps can light up individually or in combination and indicate warnings, faults or certain functions. Some

warning and indicator lamps light up when the ignition is switched on and should go out after a while.

You can find information on other indicator lamps, e.g. in switches or touch panels, in the respective chapters.

WARNING

Failure to observe illuminated warning lamps and text messages can lead to your vehicle breaking down in traffic and can cause

accidents, serious injury and even death.

● Never ignore any illuminated warning lamps or text messages.

● Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and when safe to do so.

Due to ongoing vehicle enhancement, the listed warning and indicator lamps may differ in their appearance in the vehicle after

an update.
