NOTE
The table's examples are no indication that
the car is defective but instead show that a
safety function has been activated inten-
tionally to prevent damage to one of the
car's components.
WARNING
If a warning symbol combined with the text
TRANSM. OVERHEAT PARK SAFELY is
ignored then the heat in the gearbox may
become so high that the power transmis-
sion between engine and gearbox is tem-
porarily halted in order to prevent the clutch
from malfunctioning - the car then loses
drive and is stationary until gearbox tem-
perature has cooled to an acceptable level.

A display text clears automatically after the
action has been carried out or after one press
on the indicator stalk READ button.
