The warning lamp starts flashing after the ignition is switched on. This is the system self-diagnosis mode.

и горит постоянно — это сигнал о критически низком уровне тормозной жид кости. ЛампаIf the lamp stops flashing and stays on continuously, this signals a critically low brake fluid level. The lamp operates only with the ignition switched on. If it does not go out, or comes on while driving, this means the brake fluid level in the expansion reservoir is below normal. If, in addition, unusual free play of the brake pedal is observed, the brake cylinders may be faulty.

The system automatically monitors the operation of various vehicle systems, issues audible and visual warning signals about their status, and indicates the required repair and maintenance work.

In this way, it detects malfunctions, warns of them, and thereby helps prevent serious consequences.

The system monitors operation continuously, not only after the ignition is switched on.

If a red flashing symbol of a function appears and a three-tone audible signal sounds, this is a danger warning. Stop the vehicle immediately, locate and eliminate the fault, and contact specialists if necessary.

Symbols with a yellow background and a single audible signal are advisory and indicate that the specified system function requires immediate technical inspection.

If a malfunction is detected after the ignition is switched on or while driving, the warning symbol for that function will remain on until the fault is eliminated.

If the computer detects several dangerous faults at the same time, the symbol of the fault that was detected first will appear on the display. After it is eliminated, the next symbol is displayed, and so on.

Warning fault symbols are displayed one after another in sequence, at an interval of about 1 second.
