At least one vehicle door is open or improperly closed. |  Stop!Open and close the door again. |
When the ignition is switched on, several warning and indicator lights come on briefly for a function check. They go out after a few seconds.
If a door is open or not closed properly, the 
warning light or the 
symbol light in the instrument cluster or the symbol in the instrument cluster display comes on showing an open door.
Depending on vehicle options, a symbol may be displayed in the instrument cluster instead of the warning light. The symbol will still be displayed even after the ignition is switched off. The Premium instrument cluster display goes out about 15 seconds after the vehicle has been locked.
