orange indicator light

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what this orange indicator light or warning light means? (in the center display behind the steering wheel) ?

Many thanks in advance!

The glowplugs are active.

Okay thank you, but the light turned on, when i was driving, not when starting the enginge!?

I know most modern glowplugs don't just switch on for starting, they stay on until the temperatures get up, often 30s to a minute.

Unless it is very cold where you are, it doesn't appear correct.

We've already had much colder days than today. It was just 5 degrees Celsius. Nothing unusual.

I drove for about 4-5 minutes until this indicator light suddenly appeared and didn't go out again until the end of the journey. I have never observed this before, not even at minus degrees...

I guess all you can do is see if it happens again.
