Hi - this is in a list of interior equipment on a Golf V1 1.6 TDI Bluemotion Trend - it is probably standard equipment but I cannot seem to find any definitions. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

warning lights and indicators
I've not come across these specific terms in this context, but I would guess that they are differentiating between the two basic types of 'voyant' or 'temoin' — i.e. the 'service' ones that are simply there to tell you something is working (e.g. main beam indicator) and the 'contrôle' ones that come on to warn you something has gone wrong (e.g. low oil pressure)
