I've moved your post from the X350 section to the XJ40, that's the model of your car.

Welcome to the forum, when you get a moment stop by our new members area and introduce yourself.

"pao" is actually "pad" and means your brake pad low sensor has been exposed - usually signifying your brake pad(s) are worn.

There are 3 fuse boxes, one in each foot well and one in the centre armrest. Fuse messages usually signify a fuse has blown, time to check the fuse boxes.

The numbers (I think!) denote the fuse boxes with the issue (1 2 or 3)

"Fail" message alone means there's something up with the fuelling I think ..this is from memory, maybe someone else will chime in and correct me if I'm off on this!

Hey Larry just wanted to say Thanks for the info. Very helpful. That explains why my brake light is on. Still working on the fuse issue. Thanks
