Test Dash Warning Lights

[4candles]

I used Cruise Control today for first time. It worked fine, but the dash warning lamp did not illuminate. When i got back home I checked the lamps illuminated when key is first turned and still not all lamps were on, only some come up. (i.e. door open warning lamp does not illuminate on the key turn test, but does if i open the door).
At the moment seem that following lamps do not illuminate on the initial key turn :
Cruise Control
Washer Bottle
Brake Wear
None of the lamps in the Rev counter light up, but all work (cann't test the 'bulb failure' lamp)

On my old CMAX, there was a special 'Vulcan Death Grip' that a full dash lamp test and also full guage swing test. Is there something similar for the Altea so I can see if its just a bulb, or something else before it goes back to dealer.

Thanks

Popped in dealer today. Service guy says that none of the UK models have the Cruise Control Lamp, and only some have the washer bottle level lamp. It differs from Country to Country what they fit.

Any one with an Altea that HAS the CC lamp. Just cheking he's not fobbing me off.

Mine's a 55-plate 1.9 TDi STYLANCE and DOES have the warning lamp, and it works too, but I've now noticed that the front fog lamp warning light DOESN'T work, although the rear one does !!!

I think they all have the light just not connected/wired on most!

For the Front Fog lamps the Icon on the light switch lights up when in use (hardly noticable and not exactly in your line of sight). For the Rear Fogs the lamp on the dash illuminates.

Didn't realise that...seems a bit strange to have one for the rears and not the fronts, but there you go !!!!
Cheers Buddy.
