In particular, the vehicle board disables the following displaying (upon key-OFF and key-ON):
clock;
odometer (even when the front doors are opened or closed).
Warnings and messages
Message displaying (Comfort and Matrix panels).
The messages on the display are divided into four different classes:
high-priority anomalies;
low-priority anomalies;
warning messages (e.g. doors/boot open);
feedback (e.g. ASR ON/OFF).
When a fault occurs on the vehicle, the following will be displayed:
the warning light (and/or the icon on the Matrix display) corresponding to the fault;
the message corresponding to the description of the anomaly and/or the actions to be taken
by the driver. The display will illuminate at its maximum brightness (except for “Ice danger”
and the feedback messages).
The most important warnings and messages are accompanied by an acoustic signal
simultaneous with the message displaying. All the information contained in the display section
reserved for message displaying will be replaced by the information on the anomaly.
The messages are displayed upon very key-ON until the malfunction is identified and
remedied. In any case, the displaying can be interrupted by the driver by pressing the
“Menu/Esc” button. When the message displaying has been completed, and if the anomalous
condition persists, the warning light (and/or the icon on the Matrix panel) will remain ON.
In the event that several anomalies are found simultaneously, the display will show, in a
“rolling” fashion, each of the anomaly messages/ideographs over the duration of one
displaying cycle.
All the messages that fall within the abovementioned four classes are managed as follows:
Comfort panel: on displaying strings, each of them lasts 1.5 seconds max. and occupies 5
rows max (these strings make up a displaying cycle);
