    							Warning lights
    29
    The warning lights are colour coded as
    follows:
    REDlights are warnings.
    WARNING
    DO NOT drive if a RED warning light remains
    on once the engine is running or illuminates
    whilst driving.
    GREEN & BLUElights indicate that a unit is
    operating.
    AMBERlights show that a unit is operating
    and should be switched off (or rectified) as
    soon as conditions allow.
    Low engine oil pressure- RED
    Illuminates as a bulb check
    when the starter switch is
    turned to position II and extinguishes when
    the engine is running. If it remains on, or
    illuminates whilst driving, STOP THE VEHICLE
    as soon as safety permits and seek qualified
    assistance before continuing. Always check oil
    levels when this light illuminates.
    NOTE:At very low ambient temperatures, the
    light may take several seconds to extinguish.
    Battery charging- RED
    Illuminates as a bulb check
    when the starter switch is
    turned to position II and extinguishes when
    the engine is running. If it remains on, or
    illuminates whilst driving, a fault is indicated.
    Seek qualified assistance urgently.
    Handbrake & brake system-
    RED
    The light illuminates when the
    handbrake is applied and extinguishes when it
    is fully released. If the light illuminates while
    the handbrake is released, a fault with the
    braking system is indicated, check the brake
    fluid level (seeMaintenance). If the light
    continues to illuminate, seek qualified
    assistance urgently.
    Direction indicators- GREEN
    Flashes in conjunction with the
    direction indicators. If the light
    does not illuminate, this may indicate a bulb
    failure in the warning light pack or in one of
    the direction indicator lights.
    Headlight main beam- BLUE
    Illuminates whenever the main
    beam headlights are on. 
    						
    							Warning lights
    30
    Hazard warning lights- RED
    Illuminates in conjunction with
    the direction indicator warning
    lights, when the hazard warning lights are
    operated.
    Differential lock- AMBER
    Illuminates whenever the
    differential lock is engaged.
    If the light remains on after the differential
    lock is disengaged, transmission wind up
    may be present. Reversing for a short
    distance and then going forward will usually
    unwind the transmission. If the light remains
    on, contact your dealer as soon as possible.
    Heated rear screen- AMBER
    Illuminates when the rear
    screen heater is operating.
    Engine immobilisation- RED
    Flashes during any attempt to
    start the engine when the
    engine is immobilised.
    Trailer direction indicators-
    GREEN
    Flashes in conjunction with the
    vehicle direction indicator lights to show that
    all trailer indicator lights are functioning
    correctly. In the event of a bulb failure on the
    trailer, the warning light flashes once and then
    remains off.
    NOTE:When a trailer is not fitted, the
    warning light will only flash once.
    Sidelights- GREEN
    Illuminates whenever the
    sidelights are on.
    Rear fog guard lights- AMBER
    Illuminates whenever the rear
    fog guard lights are on.
    REMEMBER:In clear conditions, rear fog
    guard lights can dazzle other road users. Use
    ONLY when visibility is severely restricted.
    Glow plugs- AMBER
    (diesels only)
    Illuminates whenever the
    starter switch is turned to position II if the
    engine is cold. WAIT for the light to extinguish
    before starting the engine.
    Anti-lock braking system-
    AMBER (if fitted)
    Illuminates for approximately 1
    second as a bulb and system check when the
    starter switch is turned to position II, and
    briefly extinguishes before coming on again. If
    the light does not extinguish and then come
    on again, then a fault occurred with the ABS
    system and you should consult a qualified
    dealer at the earliest opportunity. The warning
    light will remain on until the vehicle is driven
    above approximately 5 mph (7 km/h).
    If the light remains on or subsequently
    illuminates while driving, a fault has been
    detected by the self monitoring system. This
    means that full ABS control may not be
    available and you should consult your dealer
    at the earliest opportunity. 
    						
    							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.

    Headlight levelling(if fitted)
    The height of the headlight beams is affected
    by the distribution of weight inside the vehicle.
    Always ensure your headlights are adjusted so
    that the point at which they meet the road
    surface ahead of the vehicle provides
    adequate illumination, without dazzling other
    road users.
    The following load conditions should be used
    as a guide.
    Position 0:Driver only, or driver and all front
    seats occupied (loadspace empty).
    Position 1:All seats occupied (loadspace
    empty).
    Position 2:All seats occupied by adults and
    loadspace loaded to maximum rear axle
    weight.
    Position 3:Driver only with the loadspace
    loaded to maximum rear axle weight.
    NOTE:The maximum rear axle weight can be
    found in the General data section.
    Vehicles fitted with front seats only:
    Positions 1 and 2 should only be used when
    required, according to the distribution and
    weight of the load being carried.
