I bought a 2011 on Saturday and I cannot understand the manual or lights,

When I open the drivers door the first light I’m greeted with is a orange triangle with an exclamation mark in, once foot closed it goes off
When I start engine its back on along with all other lights they all disappear and that particular light stays on for a bit longer but then goes off?? The bloke at the garage said it’s normal and doing its checks and turns off… but is he just fooling a woman???
Also the engine revs sound so loud at first but then its drops is this normal too

Welcome to the forum

Looks like you have had trouble with autocorrect,p guessing what you were trying to say !
;)


The yellow triangle is a warning that the door is open, so when you close the door the light goes off.
On start up all the lights on the dashboard come on to show you that they’re working.
The engine does run along at slightly higher revs, just after starting.

Someone who owns a car of a similar age will be along soon, I suspect, and they might have a better answer.

The engines are designed to run at higher revs and gently step back to slower revs...the tick over thing. Allows engine to warm and settle down to normal fuelling conditions. Also to drive off reliably when cold and not stall easily.
