Several warning and indicator lamps will light up briefly when the ignition is switched on while the vehicle runs functional checks. They will switch off after a few seconds.
A warning lamp
appears in the instrument cluster display if the bonnet is open or not properly closed.
Depending of vehicle equipment levels, a symbol may be shown in the instrument cluster instead of a warning lamp. This indicates that the bonnet is open or not properly closed. These symbols are also visible when the ignition is switched off. The display will go out approximately 15 seconds after the vehicle has been locked with all its doors closed.
Failure to observe the warning lamps and text messages could lead to your vehicle breaking down in traffic, accidents and serious injuries. - Never ignore warning lamps and text messages.
- Stop the vehicle as soon as it is possible and safe to do so.
