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
Q, 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
Q is pressed, the screen active
before the failure will be resumed and the warning
light will stay on until eliminating the failure cause.
