When the ignition is switched on, all control lamps light up. If all the controlled functions are OK, the lamps go out after about 4 seconds. The brake light indicator goes out after they have been used and their operation has been checked. The brake fluid level indicator goes out when the engine is running.
The control check checks fluid levels, front disc brake pad thickness, and the main headlight bulbs, including wires and fuses. When checking the bulbs, damage is only recorded if the corresponding circuit is switched on.
The corresponding fault indicator lights up in the following cases:
the fluid level in the windshield/headlight washer reservoir is below normal
engine oil level below normal when ignition is turned off or after the previous trip
the coolant level in the expansion tank is below normal
either one of the low beam lamps or one of the rear lights has burned out
one of the brake light bulbs burned out (also on a trailer, if the manufacturer has provided a device for a trailer)
wear of brake pads of front disc brakes is maximum
The engine oil level is also checked while driving. When the normal oil level is reached, the fault indicator goes out. If the engine oil level indicator lights up 1 min after the ignition is turned on:
- check engine oil level
- add oil if necessary.
If the level indicator lights up while driving, then there is an acute shortage of oil:
- turn off the engine,
- check the oil level,
- add oil if necessary
- to fix the problem, contact a service station.
