Warning and indicator lamp

Lights up or flashes Possible cause
Lit up: the speed limiter is switched on, active.
Flashing: the set speed of the speed limiter has been exceeded.

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.

WARNING

Failure to observe illuminated warning lamps and text messages can lead to your vehicle breaking down in traffic, and can cause accident and serious injury.
  • Never ignore any illuminated warning lamps or text messages.

NOTICE

Failure to observe illuminated indicator lamps and text messages can lead to your vehicle being damaged.

Displays can vary as different versions of the instrument cluster are available.

If the CCS, ACC or speed limiter were switched on when the ignition was switched off, the CCS or ACC will be switched on automatically the next time the ignition is switched on. However, no speed is stored. The speed limiter's last set speed remains stored.
