Hi, It is the "Message" light and means your van has something to tell you! When it comes on (usually with a beep) look at the L.C.D. display below it and see what it says. It is red for serious problems - low oil level, outside air temp below zero. It is amber for less serious ones - door ajar, outside temp below 4 deg C service oil etc. If the messages are in foreign lingo then you can change it. Shut all the doors and you should have outside temp in display (if "i" message light is on press the end button on left hand stalk to cancel it) until you get temperature. Press the rotary control on the left hand stalk down and it should say "your settings" or be in another language. Press in the Set button on the end of the stalk and press it to get to "language" and then press end button until you get the language you want. Turn the rotary ring until you get "Your Settings----Exit. Press the end button once more and you should be there.

You can also set units for measurements and time format this way. May take a bit of experimenting!!!!!

Have fun.
