Description Function
Directional indicator

Parking light
and low beam warning light
p
It comes on when the ignition switch is turned to “n” (ON) or “Y” (PARKING) position and automati-
caly the lights are on.
Coolant temperature indicator
in °C (Celsius degree)
h
It indicates the approximate temperature of the coolant in the engine.
When the pointer starts moving beyond the “40” (40 °C) level, the temperature is sufficient for driving
the vehicle.
The normal running temperature range is indicated by the central area of the scale.
If the pointer reaches the red area, stop the engine and check the coolant level, see p. 44 (COOL-
ANT).
Do not operate the vehicle if the maximum temperature is exceeded. Se-
rious engine damage or even seizure may result which can cause an up-
set and serious injury or even death.
Engine oil pressure
warning light
j
It comes on whenever the ignition switch is turned to position “n” (ON) and the engine is not running,
thus testing the correct operation of the lamp. If during this phase the lamp does not turn on, it must
be replaced. The engine oil pressure warning light “
j” must go off when the engine is running.
If the engine oil pressure warning light “j” remains on (when the en-
gine is running), or if it comes on during the normal running of the en-
gine, this means that the oil system is not developing sufficient pressure. In this case, imme-
diately stop the engine and contact your Local
APRILIA
Dealer. Failure to heed this warning can
lead to engine seizure, upset, and serious injury or even death.
Low fuel warning light
g
