CAUTION: To avoid the need to 'bleed'
air from the fuel system, always avoid
any possibility of allowing the fuel
tank to run dry. If the tank should run dry,
the fuel system must be primed to exclude
air (page 56) before attempting to restart the
engine.
Temperature gauge
With the ignition switch on, the gauge indicates
the temperature of the coolant in the engine. 'C'
indicates cold, 'H' indicates hot. In normal
operating conditions, the temperature gauge
needle will take up a position in the middle band
of the gauge.
WARNING: Should the indicator
remain in the red 'H' sector when
driving, stop the vehicle as soon as
safely possible so that the cause may be
investigated at once to prevent damage to
the engine. See the section "In case of
emergency" for the immediate action
required.
Never remove the cooling system reservoir
filler or radiator caps while the engine is hot
since there is a danger of being scalded by
coolant which may spurt out from the filler.
INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING LIGHTS
Warning light check
Some of the more important warning lights
illuminate as a bulb check every time the ignition
switch is turned to position II and before the
engine is started. These warning lights include:
Electrical charge (red)
Brake system (red)
Oil pressure (red)
Motion locks system (green)
Anti-lock braking system (yellow)
Engine Electronics Function (yellow)
Engine Management System (red)
WARNING: If either the Engine
Electronics Function (yellow) or
Engine Management System (red)
lamp illuminates or flashes when driving,
immediately reduce the vehicle speed. If one
continues to flash, avoid heavy acceleration
or deceleration. The engine will continue to
operate but at reduced power. Have the
vehicle checked out by an LTI Dealer
immediately.
WARNING: If the Anti-lock braking
system (yellow) lamp illuminates have
the vehicle checked out by an LTI
Dealer immediately.
The green motion locks system light will only
come on with the footbrake off.
The glow plug warning light will extinguish within
a few seconds when the system is operating
correctly and the engine may be started.
The electrical charge and oil pressure lights will
extinguish when the engine is started if these
systems are operating satisfactorily.
When the engine is running, the brake warning
light will extinguish when the handbrake is
released provided the braking system is
operating satisfactorily.
WARNING: If any indicator light fails to
come on, it may indicate an inoperative
warning light or an open circuit in the
electrical system. The condition should be
investigated and rectified promptly.
