| DPF / Regeneration | AMBER | Diesel particulate filter regeneration in progress or required on this Steyr 6195 CVT. | If parked, allow regeneration to complete; if driving, maintain high exhaust temperature. | |
| DEF / AdBlue | AMBER | AdBlue level low or quality issue detected in the SCR system of the Steyr 6195 CVT. | Refill AdBlue tank with certified fluid to avoid engine derate. | |
| Water in Fuel | AMBER | Water detected in the fuel filter/water separator of the Steyr 6195 CVT; drain needed. | Drain water from the fuel filter bowl as per operator's manual. | |
| Low Fuel | AMBER | Fuel level low in the 280-liter tank of the Steyr 6195 CVT; refill soon to avoid air in system. | Refuel with clean diesel fuel. | |
| High Beam | BLUE | High beam headlights are active on this Steyr 6195 CVT. | Dim when approaching other vehicles or operators. | |
| Hydraulic System | AMBER | Hydraulic oil filter blocked or system pressure low in the Steyr 6195 CVT’s rear linkage and remotes. | Check hydraulic oil level and condition; replace filter if necessary. | |
| Fasten Seat Belt | RED | Driver's seat belt not fastened; safety system active on the Steyr 6195 CVT. | Fasten seat belt to proceed. | |
| Work Lights | GREEN | Rear work lights or cab roof lights are switched on for field operations. | Turn off when traveling on roads to avoid dazzling others. | |
| Beacon / Rotating Light | GREEN | Warning beacon on the cab roof is activated, indicating the tractor is in operation. | Use when required by local regulations or site rules. | |
| Differential Lock | AMBER | Rear differential lock is engaged on the Steyr 6195 CVT for maximum traction. | Disengage when turning or on hard surfaces to avoid driveline damage. | |
| PTO Engaged | AMBER | Rear power take-off shaft is engaged; rotating parts are live on the Steyr 6195 CVT. | Disengage PTO before leaving the cab or servicing implements. | |
| Air Brake Pressure Low | RED | Air brake system pressure below safe level, affecting trailer brakes on the Steyr 6195 CVT. | Stop and wait for pressure to build; check for air leaks. | |
| Engine / Exhaust Brake | GREEN | Engine brake or exhaust brake is active, helping slow the Steyr 6195 CVT on slopes. | Activate on downhill sections to reduce service brake wear. | |
| Trailer | GREEN | Trailer connection is detected and trailer ABS/signal system is operational. | Verify trailer coupling before moving. | |
| Low Oil Level | AMBER | Engine oil level has dropped below minimum on the Steyr 6195 CVT’s dipstick. | Add oil of correct grade to the proper level. |

Most Important Warning Lights
Engine Overheat
Common causes
- Coolant level too low
- Radiator fins clogged with debris
- Coolant pump failure
What to do
On the Steyr 6195 CVT, shut down the engine immediately. Allow cooling, then check coolant level and top up. Clean the radiator exterior with compressed air. If the issue persists, inspect the water pump belt and replace if worn.
Transmission Overheat
Common causes
- CVT oil level low
- Oil cooler blocked
- Continuous heavy load in high ambient temperature
What to do
Reduce engine speed and ground load to allow CVT oil to cool. Check transmission oil level with the tractor on level ground. If the oil appears burnt, have the dealer service the transmission.
Brake Failure Warning
Common causes
- Hydraulic brake fluid leak
- Worn brake pads/shoes
- Air in brake lines
What to do
Do not operate the Steyr 6195 CVT. Check brake fluid level and inspect lines for leaks. Purging air from the system may be required; contact a Steyr technician for proper bleeding.
AdBlue System Malfunction
Common causes
- AdBlue tank empty
- Faulty AdBlue pump
- Contaminated AdBlue fluid
What to do
Refill with certified AdBlue. If the warning remains, the Steyr 6195 CVT may enter derate mode. Have the SCR system diagnosed by a dealer to avoid engine power loss.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the master warning light come on during startup and stay on?
On the Steyr 6195 CVT, a master warning that stays on after startup indicates a critical fault. Check the central display for a specific error code; common causes include low engine oil pressure or high coolant temperature. Do not operate the tractor until the issue is resolved.
How do I manually start a DPF regeneration on my Steyr 6195 CVT?
The Steyr 6195 CVT initiates regeneration automatically when the exhaust temperature is high enough. To assist, work the engine under load (e.g., PTO at rated speed) for 15 minutes. If the light remains, park the tractor, ensure no flammable materials underneath, and press the regen button on the dash (if equipped) or contact your dealer.
What does the transmission temperature warning mean?
The CVT oil temperature is too high, often due to heavy work in hot conditions. Reduce ground speed and avoid continuous high loads. If the light persists, check the transmission oil level and ensure the oil cooler radiators are clean.
Can I drive with the engine brake (retarder) light on?
The green retarder indicator simply shows the exhaust brake is active. This is normal operation on the Steyr 6195 CVT when descending slopes. If it flashes or shows amber, it may indicate a system fault, and you should have it checked.
How often should I change the fuel filter on my Steyr 6195 CVT?
The fuel filter should be replaced every 500 hours or annually, or sooner if the water-in-fuel light appears. This prevents damage to the high-pressure common-rail injection system. Always use genuine Steyr filters.
