Airbag Warning Lamp

Also known as the supplemental restraint system (SRS) warning light.

When the vehicle is switched on, this light appears for a few seconds to test if the system functioning properly. If the light does not turn on or continuously lights up once the vehicle is switched ON, it means there is a malfunction in the restraint system.

If the light appears continuously or repeatedly during a journey, it indicates a system malfunction.

If components of the restraint system have been deployed, the restraint system warning lamp lights up continuously.

If the Airbag system is ON and this light is appearing, this means that at least one element of the airbag safety system is not working correctly:

• Airbag module fault.
• Airbag crash sensors damaged often due to a collusion or water damage.
• Problems with seat belt / buckle.
• Airbag clock spring.
• Wiring under the seats dislodged.

Can I still drive with my Airbag Warning Lamp ON?

If this light comes on please get in touch with roadside assistance.

ABS Warning Lamp

Also know as ABS (Anti-lock Braking system) is an add-on safety system to the van’s regular brakes.

ABS helps to prevent the wheels from locking when under hard braking. If ABS fails, normal brakes are unaffected, though they operate without ABS. The most common cause for ABS warning light is a damaged wheel speed sensor. Diagnostics and fault code scanning should determine the malfunction.

If the lamp is ON while the vehicle is ON, it means there is system malfunction.

If an additional warning tone sounds, it means the EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution) is malfunctioning.

Can I still drive with my ABS Warning Lamp ON?

If the ABS light comes on by itself you should still have normal, unassisted braking, so it's safe to continue your journey – but keep your distance, take extra care, and get it checked as soon as possible.

If it comes on with audible warnings, it could indicate that the brake system is failing and you should stop straight away and get in touch with roadside assistance.

It’s a generic warning where no dedicated alternative warning light is used. The general failure triangle warning light comes on due to the following:

• The fuel inertia cut-off switch is activated.
• Lights failure, including rear fog lamps, indicators, brake lights, number plate lights, side lights, daytime running lights, main beam, trailer directional indicators and trailer side lights.
• Airbag warning light failure.
• Rain sensor failure.
• Diesel filter sensor failure.
• Trailer connection failure.
• Audio system failure.
• Engine oil pressure sensor failure.
• Parking sensor failure.
• Water in diesel fuel filter.
• Engine oil level sensor failure.
• Insufficient engine oil level.
• Low engine oil pressure warning light failure.

If the light appears in red you should address the issue immediately.

If the light appears in yellow you should address the issue as soon as possible.

Also known as Door(s) open warning lamp

It illuminates when you switch the ignition on and remains on if any door is open.

It is a safety indicator on your vehicle's dashboard that alerts you when one or more doors are not fully closed. It may illuminate when any door, including the driver's side, passenger side is slightly ajar.

Can I still drive with the Door Ajar Warning Lamp ON?

Even if the door seems closed, it might not be fully engaged, which can lead to safety concerns such as the door opening while the vehicle is in motion or the car's security system being compromised. If the light is on while you're driving, you should pull over and check all doors to ensure they are properly shut.

Tailgate Open

While your rear trunk/boot may appear closed, it may show open on the sensor. Check if the trunk is properly closed before driving. If the issue persists, there may be a problem with the sensor.

Bonnet Open

While your front hood/bonnet may appear closed, it may show open on the sensor. Check if the hood is properly closed before driving. If the issue persists, there may be a problem with the sensor.

Electric Parking Brake Warning Lamp

Also known as the brake system warning light, parking brake warning light.

If the light flashes or appears in yellow it means there is a malfunction with the electric parking brake system.

If the light flashes or appears in red it means the electric parking brake is correctly applied.

It may not be possible to release the parking brake if the on-board electrical system voltage is low or if there is a malfunction in the system.

The symbol  indicates a break system fault or that the brake fluid level is low. You should stop driving as soon as possible.

Brakes Warning Lamp

Possible cause for the brakes warning lamp to be ON during a journey:

• The brake force boosting is malfunctioning and the braking characteristics may be affected
• There is insufficient brake fluid in the brake fluid reservoir

If brake force boosting is malfunctioning, increased brake pedal force may be needed for braking. The braking characteristics may be impaired. The braking distance can increase in emergency braking situations.

Additionally, this warning can mean the brake fluid is too low, and the braking effect and characteristics may be impaired.

Can I still drive with the Brakes Warning Lamp ON?

You should stop driving as soon as it is safe to do so. Get in touch with roadside assistance.

If this symbol shows up it means a sensor has detected your brake pads are too thin.

Can I drive with my Check Brake Pad Wear Warning Lamp ON?

This car warning light should come on before the brake pads become dangerously thin, it's sometimes possible to look at the brake pads for wear and tear. You may be able to see the outer pad by looking through the spokes of the wheel – the outer pad will be pressed against the brake disc. There should be at least 3mm of pad visible.

Keep your speed low and avoid braking suddenly, get in touch with Roadside assistance.

Engine Coolant Warning Lamp

Also known as the coolant temperature car warning light.

This light will come on when the engine coolant level is too low, which can lead to engine overheating. 

If the coolant level is correct, this could mean the air supply to the radiator may be impaired or the radiator's electric fan may be faulty.

Additionally, this light could mean the coolant is too hot and the engine is not being adequately cooled.

If the warning light is accompanied by a warning tone, it means the coolant has exceeded the temperature of 120ºC. The air supply to the radiator may be impaired or the coolant level may be too low. Additionally, the engine has not been sufficiently cooled and may be damaged. 

If you open the bonnet in the event of an overheated engine or fire in the engine compartment, the following situations may occur:

• You may come in contact with hot gases
• You may come in contact with other escaping hot operating fluids
• Before opening the bonnet, allow the engine to cool down
• In the event of a fire in the engine compartment, keep the bonnet closed and call the fire service

If the engine coolant warning lamp is ON together with the coolant temperature display at the start of the scale, it means the temperature sensor for the coolant temperature display is defective. This means the coolant temperature is no longer being monitored. If the coolant is too hot, the engine may become damaged.

Can I still drive with my Engine Coolant Overheating Warning Lamp ON?

You should stop straight away, as without enough coolant your engine will have irreparable damage.

Check that coolant levels are not below the MIN. mark on the reservoir tank. If topping up, allow time for the coolant to cool before removing the cap.

While you’re under the hood, have a look to see if there are any obvious leaks. If you can’t see any and the light goes off after topping up then you should be fine to continue your journey. Ensure the air supply to the radiator is not impaired (by a plastic bag, for example).

If the light comes back on again after topping up please stop the vehicle and get in touch with roadside assistance.

Engine Oil Level and Pressure Warning Lamp

Also known as the low engine oil or low oil pressure light.

The oil warning light comes on when either the oil temperature gets too high or the oil level or pressure is too low. If the oil is not lubricating the engine effectively it could lead to expensive or even irreparable engine damage, so it’s important to act quickly.

Causes for this light to appear:

• Add one liter engine oil when you next refuel. The engine oil has fallen to the minimum level.
• Check engine oil level when you next refuel. A warning tone also sounds and the engine oil has fallen to the minimum level.
• Engine oil level stop (switch off the vehicle). The engine oil level is too low. There is a risk of engine damage.
• Engine oil pressure stop (switch off the vehicle). The oil pressure is too low.
• Engine oil level cannot be measured. The electrical connection to the oil level sensor has been interrupted or the oil level sensor is faulty.
• Reduce engine oil. Engine oil level is too high.

Can I still drive with the Engine Oil Pressure Warning Lamp ON?

When this light comes on you should stop as soon as possible and turn off the engine. Have a look for any obvious oil leaks under the car, and then check the oil levels, topping up if necessary.

If the oil levels are fine, then the oil pump may be faulty. In this case get in touch with Roadside assistance.

While you’re under the hood, have a look to see if there are any obvious leaks. If you can’t see any and the light goes off after topping up then you should be fine to continue your journey.
