Coolant Temperature Gauge: The
upper right gauge in the instrument
panel, it indicates the temperature of
the engine coolant. Under normal
conditions, this gauge should indicate
approximately 185°F (85°C).
Lamp Cluster Gauge: The lower left
gauge in the instrument panel, it con-
tains four indicator lamps. The func-
tion of these lamps are as follows:
Alternator Lamp: Located in the
upper left section of the lamp
cluster gauge, this lamp indicates
the condition of the electrical
charging system. During normal
operation, this lamp should be
off. If the charge rate is too high or
too low, this lamp will come on.
Engine Oil Pressure Lamp:
Located in the upper right section
of the lamp cluster gauge, this
lamp indicates whether the
engine lubricating oil pressure is
sufficient. During normal opera-
tion, with the engine running, this
lamp should be off. During starting and
when the engine is not running, this lamp will be on.
IMPORTANT: If this lamp comes on during nor-
mal operation with the engine running, stop the
engine immediately! After allowing the oil to drain
down for a few minutes, check the engine oil
level. Maintain oil level at the FULL mark on the
dipstick.
Brake Failure Lamp: This lamp is
located in the lower left section of
the lamp cluster gauge. The front
and rear brakes are on indepen-
dent brake systems. If during
normal operation with the brake
pedal depressed, a loss of pressure
occurs in either system, the brake failure
lamp comes on. During normal operation the lamp
should remain off.
