System Check lights

I have a 2010 FL 2 2 2 TD4.e and I have a quick question.
When I press the Start / Stop button the car goes through a System Check.
All the informatuon/warning light illuminate with the exception of the Glow Plug indicator. Is this normal or do I have a blown light.
TIA
Chris

You will only see the glow plug light on cold days when there is a slight delay as they warm up. Even a British summer is sufficiently warm that you won't see it until later in the year. Very Happy 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Thank you. I wasn't sure whether it came on as part of the system check or not. As you say the Glow plugs only work in quite cold weather.
Thank you for taking the time to answer it's much appreciated.

Mine lit a couple of days ago - I think the summer experience is different up here to Dorset Big Cry No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS

Thank you. I haven't seen mine AT ALL since I purchased the hippo a month ago.

Likewise and I live in North Yorkshire so the winters are a bit chilly. I'm back down south next year though hopefully so I may never see the glow plug light Very Happy

With global warming, it may be a thing of the past, or are we just due for a bad winter.

I just assumed that they were all nicknamed Hippo, is that not the case?
