F Warning light, charging
This lights red when the battery is dis-
charging, which is normal at idling speed.
As soon as you accelerate a little, it
should go out. Should it light up during
driving, either there is some fault in the
electrical system or the fan belt is not
sufficiently tensioned and is thus slipping
on the alternator pulley, causing poor
charging.
G Turn indicator
warning light
This lamp flashes with a green light when
the turn indicator switch is moved up-
wards or downwards and the ignition is on.
H Parking brake warning light
(functions also as warning
light for both service
brake circuits)
This lights red when the parking brake is
applied and the ignition is on.
The light also functions as a footbrake
circuit warning light should a failure arise
i n one of the brake circuit. If the light goes
on during driving, the car should be driven
without delay to a workshop for a check on
the brake system. Observe due care when
driving under such conditions.
I Mainbeam warning light
This lights blue when the headlights are
switched to mainbeam by the switch
l ever (6).
J Oil pressure warning light
This lights yellow when the engine oil
pressure is too low. When the ignition
i s switched on, the light should go on
and then go out again when the engine
starts. Never start driving until the light
goes out. If the light goes on during
driving, stop the engine and find out the
reason for this. In most cases it means
that the oil level is too low. After hard
driving it may happen that the warning
li ght comes on when the engine is idling.
This is normal providing it goes out again
when engine speed is increased.
