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 after a short period of time.  
For details on indicator lamps that light up in the light switch, see Chapter “Lights” (→ Dipped beam).
