CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS
Ignition and lubrication warning lights
The ignition warning light serves the dual purpose of reminding the driver to
switch off the ignition, and
of
acting as a no-charge indicator. With the ignition
switched on the warning light should only be illuminated when the engine is
not
running, or is running at a very low speed. As the engine speed increases the
light should dim and
th
en go out at a fairly low engine speed.
Directly above the oil pressure/water temperature gauge is the lubrication
warning light. See page 51 for details.
