Clock
The electric clock is set by the knurled knob on the bezel, which should be pushed in to engage the
hands. If necessary, the clock may be regulated by turning the small screw head in the bezel, clockwise
to retard, and anti-clockwise to advance.
Map Light Switch
A Map light is fitted in the upper facia roll above the left hand face-level ventilator and is controlled by
a switch on the facia marked “map”.
Face-level Air Booster Switch
The switch marked “Air” on the facia operates a fan which increases the fresh air output at face
level.
Rear Demist Switch and Warning Light
This switch controls the electrically heated back light. (The current to the rear light is cut off when the
engine cooling fans come into operation, so the demist warning light goes out, and comes on again
when the fans cut out).
Re-fuel switch
The re-fuel switch automatically unlocks the fuel filler flap on the left hand rear wing. Should the
solenoid fail, the flap can be opened manually from inside the luggage boot. (See Fuel System
section page ).
Horn Push
The twin horns are operated by the push button in the centre of the steering wheel.
Selectaride Switch
The Selectaride switch on the transmission tunnel controls the settings of the rear dampers. Four
settings are available, from SOFT up to 4. The harder settings should be used for high speeds, or
when the car is fully laden. The switch works in a CLOCKWISE direction only, and should not be used
unless the ignition is switched on.
Revolution Counter
The revolution counter has a red sector from 5100 RPM to 6000 RPM and engine speeds in this
sector should not be sustained. Maximum engine power is developed at 4600 RPM, so no advantage
will be gained by over-revving the engine. There is a low-fuel warning light in the rev-counter face. This
glows continually when 3 gallons only remain in the tank.
Speedometer
The speedometer incorporates trip recorder and odometer. To set the trip, the knob to the right of
the steering column and below the facia should be pressed upwards and turned anti-clockwise.
In the speedometer face is a high-beam warning light which glows when the headlamps are in the
raised position.
Ammeter
The ammeter indicates the charging or discharging rate of the battery. Under normal running
conditions a small charging rate is indicated. On starting the engine, the ammeter will indicate a high
charge rate for a short time, and then fall to suit the battery condition.
Oil Pressure Gauge
The oil pressure gauge operates only when the engine is running, and should indicate a pressure of
45-65 p.s.i. under normal conditions.
Coolant Temperature Indicator
The coolant temperature indicator operates only when the ignition is on. Under normal running
conditions, the instrument pointer should be within the white band on the scale. If the pointer enters
the red band—H—the cause should be investigated.
DO NOT
remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. (See Cooling section on page ).
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the petrol level in the tank shortly after the ignition is switched on.
