CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS
Oil pressure and water temperature gauge
The pressure of the oil in the engine lubrication system may rise to over
60
lb.jsq, in. (4'2 kg.jcm.") when the engine is started up from cold. After the
oil has circulated
and
become warm the pressure should drop to between
30 and 60 lb.jsq. in. (2'1 and 4·2 kg.jcm."), with 10 to 25 lb./sq. in. ('7 to 1·7
kg.jcrn,") idling pressure. Should the gauge fail to register any pressure at all,
stop the engine immediately and investigate the cause.
The temperature gauge indicates the temperature of the coolant
leaving the
cylinder head. After the initial rise in temperature during the warming up period
any sudden upward change in the reading calls for immediate investigation.

Direction indicators
The direction indicator switch is mounted on an arm on the steering-column
below the steering-wheel. The indicators will operate only when the ignition
is switched on, and the indicator warning lights in the instrument panel flash
when they are in use.
Speedometer
In
addition to recording the road speed this instrument also records the trip
and
tot
al distances. The trip recorder enables the length of a particular journey
to
be recorded, and can be set to zero by pushing upwards and turning the knob
located beneath the instrument.
