General

A warning lamp symbol is only visible when its bulb is lit.

Not all information acquired directly by the instrument cluster is displayed directly: each warning lamp is lit after confirmation is received via the VAN CONFORT network.

The warning lamp lighting logic is as follows:

FLASHING A flashing state of a warning lamp (even timed) takes priority over a steady-lit state.
FILTERING Inputs are not filtered (signals are acquired without processing).
DEGRADED MODE In case of a network communication error or receipt of an invalid value, the warning lamps take a default value 5 seconds after the fault appears. During this time, the last value received is displayed.

The table below describes the information transmitted by each warning lamp depending on the vehicle's operating situations.
