GENERAL WARNINGS
The turning on of the warning light

and/or buzzer sound where provided
by instrument panel. These indications
are concise and brief and cautionary
and as such must not be considered
as exhaustive and/or alternative to
the information contained in the Owner
Handbook, which shall always be
read through carefully and thoroughly.
In the event of a failure indication,
always refer to the contents
of this chapter.
IMPORTANT Failure indications
displayed are divided into two categories:
very serious and less serious failures.
Very serious failures are indicated
by a repeated and prolonged warning
“cycle”.
Less serious failures are indicated
by a limited “warning” cycle.
