illuminate
when the remote control key is turned to posi-
tion
II before starting. This is to check that the
symbols are working. When the engine starts,
all the symbols should go out except the hand-
brake symbol, which only goes out when the
brake is disengaged.
If the engine does not start within
five seconds, all symbols extin-
guish except the symbols for a
fault in the car's emissions system
and for low oil pressure. Certain
symbols may have no function,
depending on the car's specifica-
tions.

The red warning symbol illumi-
nates when a fault has been indi-
cated which could affect the safety
and/or driveability of the car. An
explanatory text is shown on the
information display at the same time. The sym-
bol remains visible until the fault has been rec-
tified but the text message can be cleared with
the
READ button, see page 58. The warning
symbol can also illuminate in conjunction with
other symbols.
When the symbol illuminates:
1. Stop in a safe manner. Do not drive the car
further.
2. Read the information on the information
display. Implement the action in accord-
ance with the message in the display. Clear
the message using
READ .
The yellow information symbol illu-
minates and a text appears on the
information display. The message
text is cleared using the
READ but-
ton, see page 58, or disappears
automatically after a period of time (time
depending on which function is indicated).
The yellow information symbol can also illumi-
nate in conjunction with other symbols.
NOTE
When a service message is shown, the sym-
bol and message are cleared using the
READ button, or disappear automatically
after a time.
1 For certain engine variants, the symbol for low oil pressure is not used. Warnings are given via display text, see page 58.
