Here’s what the engine window (in the upper inboard corner of the primary flight display) would look like if there were any problems that required the pilot’s attention. In the photo below, you can see that there is a fire indication on both engines, that there is a minor exceedence (a caution level condition) affecting fuel flow, and there is a gross exceedence (a warning level condition) affecting gas generator speed. All of these problems would be accompanied by a CAS (Crew Alerting System) text message that spells the problem out in plain English, such as “Left Engine Fire”, “Left Fuel Flow Low”, and “Left Ng Low”.

Note also that the aircraft has recognized that one engine has been shut down in flight, and it has automatically recalibrated the markings for all the engine limits to show the limits applicable to single-engine flight (the maximum continuous limits).
