Several warning and indicator lamps will light up briefly as a functional check when the ignition is switched on. They will switch off after a few seconds.
A symbol in the instrument cluster display indicates
that the bonnet is open or not closed properly. These symbols are also visible when
the ignition is switched off. The display will go out approximately 15 seconds after
all doors have been closed and the vehicle has been locked.
WARNING
- Never ignore any illuminated warning lamps or text messages.
- Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and when safe to do so.
The symbol can differ depending on the version of the instrument cluster.
