STOP, CHECK AND INFORMATION
TELLTALE LIGHTS
STOP, CHECK and INFORMATION telltale
lights illuminate automatically to draw the
attention of the driver and their associated
messages are displayed in the DID. More than
one message
(see “Acknowledging Messages”
below) can be active at the same time. A
displayed message can be replaced by a new
message provided the new message has a
higher priority. Only fault codes that have a
direct impact on vehicle operation are displayed.
All fault codes are stored in the appropriate ECU
for access by service technicians.
STOP Telltale light
In the event of a serious fault, the red STOP
telltale light comes on and an audible alarm will
sound if the engine is running. An illuminated
stop message light indicates a serious problem
has been detected, and the driver must respond
immediately to the problem.
When illuminating, this telltale light means the
vehicle must be safely pulled off the road and
stopped. In some instances, the engine must be
switched off immediately.
WARNING
Failure to stop and take necessary action
when the STOP telltale light is on can result in
automatic engine derate and shutdown.
In some cases preventive action may be taken
by the engine ECU to protect the engine. For
further details, refer to “Engine Protection
System” in
Starting and Stopping Procedures .
CHECK Telltale light
This telltale light means that a fault or an
abnormal
operating condition has been
detected. The vehicle must be checked at the
next stop.
If the CHECK telltale light illuminates, an
associated message is displayed in the DID.
Always
pay attention to the associated
messages
(see “Acknowledging Messages”
below).
INFORMATION Telltale light
The INFO indicator light comes on when there is
a new information message or an abnormal
status is detected by the electronic control unit.
A pictogram or text or both are shown in the DID
in addition to the INFO telltale light
(see
“Acknowledging Messages” below).
Acknowledging Messages
A fault message associated to a STOP, CHECK
or INFORMATION telltale light must be
acknowledged by pressing the ESCAPE or
ENTER button after which the display returns to
the same status that existed before the fault
occurred. All messages can be acknowledged.
Acknowledged but inactive messages are
displayed again when the ignition key is turned
to the START position or they can be read in the
DID menu. Refer to
Other Features for more
information on the DID menus.
DRIVER INFORMATION DISPLAY
The DID (Driver Information Display) is located
in the center of the instrument cluster. It displays
digital gauges, main menus and sub-menus that
provide necessary and important information to
the driver. The information available to the driver
depends on vehicle configuration, and whether
the vehicle is in operation or parked. For the list
of the available menus and sub-menus, refer to
“Driver Information Display Menus” in
Other
Features chapter.
