Digital display within speedometer

The display shows the following:

 Odometer reading (shows the total distance

travelled by the car).

 Trip recorder (for recording individual journey

distances). The word trip is also displayed.

Trip recorder reset button

Whenever the ignition switch is turned on, the display

shows the odometer reading. By pressing the trip

recorder reset button briefly, the display will change to

show the trip recorder reading (a further press of the

button returns the display to the odometer reading).

Press and hold the reset button to reset the display to

zero.

Tachometer

Indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute.

NOTE: An electronic limiter will prevent engine speed

rising above a pre-determined factory set level.

Oil Pressure Gauge

The needle indicates the oil pressure measured in bar.

The needle will quickly rise when the engine is started.

If the needle falls into the Red mark during normal

running the oil pressure is at a critical level and severe

engine damage could result; switch off the engine

immediately (safety permitting) and seek qualified

assistance. (Engine pressure will fluctuate as engine

revs change)

WARNING!

Never restart the engine or drive the car with the oil

pressure gauge indicating red.

Temperature Gauge

Indicates the temperature of the engine coolant. During

normal operation, the needle will rise from the lower

(cold) mark to the middle part of the gauge, where it

will remain while the engine is operating at its normal

temperature.

In severe driving conditions, such as very hot weather

or extended hill climbing, the needle may rise. If the

needle rises to the RED mark, the coolant is too hot

and severe engine damage could result; stop the car

as soon as safety permits and seek qualified

assistance.

Fuel gauge

The needle indicates the fuel level. After refuelling, the

gauge slowly rises to the new level once the ignition

switch is turned on.

WARNING! NEVER allow the car to run out of fuel (the

resultant misfire could destroy the catalytic converter).

WARNING LIGHTS

Battery charging – RED

The light illuminates as a bulb check when the ignition

switch is turned to position ‘II’ and extinguishes as

soon as the engine is running. If it remains on, or

illuminates whilst driving, a fault with the battery

charging system is indicated. Seek qualified

assistance.

Direction indicators – GREEN

The indicator warning light flashes in time with the left

or right direction indicator lights, whenever they are

operated. If the warning light fails to illuminate or

flashes very rapidly, this means that one of the

indicator lights is not operating.
