Warning Lights

Anti-lock braking system - AMBER*

The warning light illuminates briefly when the starter

switch is turned on. If the light fails to extinguish, or

illuminates at any other time, there is a fault with the ABS system;

on completion of your journey seek advice from your dealer

before further vehicle use.

Engine malfunction - AMBER (diesel models only)

The light illuminates when the starter switch is turned

to position ‘II’ and extinguishes after approximately six

seconds. If it remains on, or illuminates at any other time, the

engine management system requires attention. Stop the car and

switch off the engine for at least 30 seconds; if the light illuminates

again after the engine is restarted, it is permissible to continue

driving, but qualified assistance must be sought as soon as possible

to prevent potential engine damage.

Transmission fault - AMBER (1.8 automatic models)

If the light illuminates while driving, a fault with the

automatic gearbox is indicated. In this eventuality,

reduced performance will be evident and engine speeds will be

limited to 3,500 rev/min approx.

You may continue driving but should exercise extreme caution

when carrying out any manoeuvre normally reliant upon the car's

speed and acceleration. On completion of your journey seek

qualified assistance before further vehicle use.

Transmission fault - AMBER (2.0 automatic models)

Illuminates when a fault with the gearbox is detected.

When the light illuminates and ‘4’ appears in the trip

recorder display, the car can still be driven to get you home, but

the transmission will attempt to stay in fourth gear as much as

possible, to avoid damage to the gearbox. Avoid driving any long

distances and consult your dealer at the earliest opportunity.

If the light illuminates and ‘4’ does not appear in the trip recorder

display, stop the car as soon as safety permits and seek qualified

assistance.

Snow mode - GREEN (2.0 petrol models only)

Illuminates when Snow mode has been activated (see

‘Snow mode’, page 79) and extinguishes when Snow

mode is cancelled or if the gear selector lever is moved out of

position ‘D’ (Drive).
