WARNING LAMPS
CRITICAL WARNING MESSAGE (RED)
RED warning lamps are for primary warnings.
A primary warning must be investigated
immediately.
Illuminates when a critical warning
message is available in the
message centre.
Seek qualified assistance before continuing.
LOW OIL PRESSURE (RED)
AMBER and YELLOW warning lamps are for
secondary warnings. Some indicate that a
vehicle system is in operation, others indicate
that the driver must take action and then seek
qualified assistance as soon as possible
Illuminates briefly when the
ignition is switched on and
extinguishes when the engine is
started. If the lamp remains on, flashes or
illuminates while driving, stop the vehicle as
soon as safety permits and then switch off the
engine immediately. Check the oil level.
GREEN and BLUE lamps within the instrument
panel indicate system status, such as green for
direction indicators, when in operation and
blue for high beam.
Seek qualified assistance before starting the
engine.
BULB CHECK
BRAKE SYSTEMS (RED)
A warning lamp bulb check is initiated when the
ignition system is switched on and lasts for 3
seconds (except for the airbag warning lamp
which will remain on for 6 seconds). If any
warning lamp remains on after this period,
investigate the cause before driving.
Illuminates briefly when the
ignition is switched on. If the lamp
illuminates while driving, suspect
low brake fluid level or a fault with the
Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) system.
Stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits.
Some warning lamps have associated
messages displayed on the message centre.
If the message CHECK BRAKE FLUID is
displayed, check the brake fluid level and
top-up if necessary.
Note: Not all warning lamps are included in the
check (e.g. high beam headlamps and direction
indicators).
If the lamp remains illuminated, seek qualified
assistance before continuing.
PARKING BRAKE (RED)
Illuminates when the parking brake
is applied. If the lamp illuminates
and Caution! Park Brake Applied
is displayed, the vehicle is moving with the
parking brake applied. Release the parking
brake or stop the vehicle.
If the lamp flashes, there is a fault and the
parking brake cannot be applied. Seek qualified
assistance.
