condition with the braking system which
requires immediate investigation before driving,
or after safely stopping the vehicle.
Firstly check the brake fluid level has not fallen
appreciably, indicating a leak in the brake
hydraulic system. If the level is incorrect, the
source of the leak must be corrected
immediately by a competent technician before
the vehicle is operated further.
If the brake fluid level and pedal effort are
correct, with the handbrake off, the light will
come on when the brake pedal is pressed to
indicate the front brake pads are worn and
should be replaced as soon as possible.
Electrical charge indicator
Glows red when the ignition is turned on
and goes out when the engine has been
started and the electrical system is being
charged by the alternator.
CAUTION: If the warning light fails to
go or comes on whilst driving, you
must stop the vehicle and consult your
LTI Dealer immediately who will arrange to
have it checked out.
Glow plug indicator
Glows orange when the engine glow
plugs are used prior to starting the
engine (see steering lock and starter switch
page 31). The light will go out when the engine
may be started.
Rear door 'open' indicators
With the ignition switched on,
the left hand or right hand
indicator will flash red when the related left hand
or right hand rear door is not closed,
Windscreen washer fluid level
Glows orange when the fluid reservoir
requires replenishment.
(Approximately 1.4l. remaining from 3.8l.)
Oil pressure indicator
Glows red when the ignition is turned on
and goes out when the engine has been
started and the oil reaches working pressure.
Should the indicator light not go out, or come on
at any time while the engine is running, the
engine should be stopped at the first available
opportunity and the reason for the low oil
pressure investigated.
CAUTION: Running an engine with the
warning light on could result in serious
damage to the engine.
Anti Lock Braking System Indicator
(ABS)
The ABS control module monitors the
operation of the system from ignition ON to
ignition OFF. If the lamp illuminates this will
indicate a fault in the anti lock braking system.
The braking system will continue to operate
conventionally and with the same standard as
vehicles not equipped with ABS.
CAUTION: If the warning light comes
on whilst driving, consult your LTI
Dealer immediately who will arrange to
have it checked out.
Braking system indicator
This light glows red with the ignition on
and the handbrake applied, and
normally goes out when the handbrake is
released. If the light glows at any other time with
the handbrake released, it indicates a potential
supplemented by an intermittent warning
buzzer. If the vehicle is moved with a rear door
open, the audible warning will be continuous
and of higher intensity.
Motion locks system indicator
With the ignition on, and the vehicle
stationary with the foot brake off, the
indicator will glow green when it is possible for
the rear door to be opened from the inside. As
soon as the footbrake is applied, or the vehicle
moves off, the green indicator light will go out.
The doors will remain locked until the footbrake
is released (see motion door locking system -
page 35)
Low fuel level warning light
If the fuel gauge indicates low fuel or the
low fuel warning light illuminates, please
refuel immediately.Some time after the low fuel
level warning light has illuminated, when the fuel
reaches a very low level, the engine will start to
run unevenly as an additional warning. Proceed
to the next filling station and refuel with at least
8 litres of fuel. Failure to refuel will result in the
engine running dry. This will lead to a difficult
restarting procedure which requires roadside
assistance. Also, serious engine damage may
occur.
WARNING: If the green light remains
on when the footbrake is held on with
the rear doors closed, or when the
vehicle is in motion, the condition should be
investigated and corrected as soon as
possible. If the green light fails to come on
when the footbrake is released and the
vehicle is stationary, there is a fault in the
system which should be investigated.
