General information

Turning on of warning light is accompanied by specific message and/or by buzzer sound where provided by instrument panel. These indications are concise and cautionary and shall not be considered as exhaustive and/or as an alternative to the specifications contained in this Owner Handbook which shall always be read through carefully and thoroughly. In case of failure indication always refer to the specifications contained in this section.

IMPORTANT

Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories:

very serious and less serious failures.

Very serious failures are indicated by a warning “cycle” repeated until failure is eliminated.

Less serious failures are indicated by a limited warning “cycle”.

The warning cycle of both failure categories can be stopped by pressing button MODE. The instrument panel warning light will stay on until eliminating the fault.
