Visual indicators informing the driver that a system is in operation (operation or deactivation indicator lamps) or of the occurrence of a fault (warning  
lamp).

Associated warnings  
The warning lamps may come on  
continuously (fixed) or flash.  
Certain warning lamps come on for a  
few seconds when the vehicle's ignition is  
switched on.

warning lamps should go off.  
The illumination of certain warning lamps may  
be accompanied by an audible signal and a  
message in the multifunction screen.  
Certain warning lamps may come on  
in one of two different modes. Only by  
relating the type of illumination to the  
operating status of the vehicle can it  
be ascertained whether the situation is  
normal or whether a fault has occurred.  
If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the  
information on the warning lamp concerned.
