OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A Panel light switch
Turning the knob clockwise or anticlock-
wise increases or dims the lighting on the
i nstrument panel.
B Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge is graduated "full", "half",
"reserve" and "empty". The red field be-
tween "reserve" and "empty" is a remind-
er that the tank should be filled. When the
gauge pointer is on "reserve", there are
approx. 8 litres (2 Imp. galls = 2'/2 US
galls) in the tank. The gauge pointer re-
gisters when the ignition is switched on.
E Warning light, charging
This lights red when the battery is dis-
charging. Should it light during driving,
either there is some fault in the electrical
system or the fan belt is not sufficiently
tensioned and is thus slipping on the al-
ternator pulley, causing poor charging.
D Coolant temperature
gauge
The temperature gauge shows the tem-
perature of the coolant and thus indicates
the working temperature of the engine. The
gauge pointer should normally remain
within the green sector.
During town driving and idling when the
weather is particularly warm, the tempe-
rature gauge pointer may enter the field
marked with oblique red dash lines.
Should the pointer repeatedly point to the
completely red field, the coolant and fan
belt tension should be checked.
