General warnings

Failure indications shown (only for some versions) on the reconfigurable multifunction display together with buzzer sounding (adjustable) and warning light (if any) coming on on the cluster, are accompanied by possibles specific warning messages (e.g.: “Switch off engine”, etc...). These indications are concise and cautionary and are aimed to suggest the prompt action the driver must adopt when a car malfunctioning appears. These indications, however, 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 on the reconfigurable multifunction display are divided into two categories: very serious failures and serious/minor failures.

The message and the warning indication corresponding to very serious failures are displayed alternately for few seconds. This “cycle” is repeated indefinitely and it stops any previous indication on the display. It is displayed every time the ignition key is turned to MAR, until the cause of malfunctioning is removed.

Should failure disappear, message and warning light will however stay on for about 2 seconds. Eliminating the failure, the warning light and the displayed message will go off. It is possible to stop this “cycle” by pressing button the failure will be resumed and the warning light will stay on until eliminating, in this case the screen active before the failure will be resumed and the warning light will stay on until eliminating the failure cause.

The message and the warning indication corresponding to serious/minor failures are displayed alternately for few seconds. This “cycle” is repeated for about 20 seconds and then goes off, but it comes on again every time the ignition key is turned to MAR.

Should failure disappear during the 20 seconds displaying, message and warning light will stay on for about 2 seconds. Eliminating the failure, the warning light and the displayed message will go off.

At the end of the display cycle (which lasts approx. 20 seconds), or if button the failure will be resumed and the warning light will stay on until eliminating is pressed, the screen active before the failure will be resumed and the warning light will stay on until eliminating the failure cause.
