NOTE
The high/low battery voltage indicator will
illuminate for a few seconds after the engine is
started because of the voltage drop when the
starter is engaged.
NOTE
To prevent discharge of the batteries when the
engine in not running, some functions are
automatically switched off if the batteries
voltage drops below 24.4 volts for more than
30 seconds. The "BAT" telltale light blinks
while this protection mode is active. Set the
ignition key to the OFF position and then turn
the ignition key to the ON position to reactivate
the functions for a period of 30 seconds before
they switch off again.

selecting SYSTEM
DIAGNOSTIC, FAULT
DIAGNOSTIC & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM and
see the fault messages.

conveniently placed on the steering column or
the steering wheel, just like a passenger car.
The Multi-function lever is located on the left
side of the steering wheel while the optional
transmission retarder lever is located on the
right side of the steering wheel. Switches for the
electric horn and the air horn are located directly
on the steering wheel.
