Operation Manual

Warning lights
31
Traction control - AMBER
(if fitted)
Illuminates as a bulb and
system check, when the starter switch is
turned to position ’II’ and extinguishes after
approximately 4 seconds. The light illuminates
for a minimum of 2 seconds, whenever
traction control is operating.
If the warning light flashes (for at least 10
seconds); this indicates that the traction
control has been operating for too long and
has temporarily shut down to allow the
system to cool down - this will only occur in
extreme conditions.
If the light illuminates continuously, a fault
with the system is indicated - seek qualified
assistance.
Transmission oil temperature
- RED (if fitted)
Illuminates when gearbox oil
temperature is too high (most likely to occur
in very hot weather, during continuous high
speed driving, when towing heavy loads on
steep inclines).
If the light illuminates, reduce speed. If the
light remains on, stop the vehicle and do not
drive until it has extinguished.
Check engine - AMBER
(Td5 models only)
Illuminates as a bulb and
system check when the starter switch is
turned to position ’II’ and extinguishes after
approximately 3 seconds. Illumination at any
other time indicates an engine fault - if the
light illuminates, avoid high speeds and seek
qualified assistance urgently.
Fuel filter - AMBER
(Td5 models only)
Illuminates as a bulb check
when the starter switch is turned to position
’II’ and extinguishes after approximately 2
seconds. If the light illuminates while driving,
this indicates the presence of excessive
amounts of water in the fuel. You may
continue driving, but should seek qualified
assistance at the earliest opportunity.
Low fuel - AMBER
Illuminates when the fuel
remaining in the tank drops to
a minimum of 2 gallons (9 litres). If the light
illuminates, refuel at the first opportunity.
Cold start - AMBER
(Petrol engines only)
Illuminates when the cold start
control is selected and extinguishes when the
cold start control is pushed fully in.
