15.2.10 Driver Information Messages
Two fault messages, FLUID - AIRBAG are displayed via the LCD in conjunction with relevant warning lamps.
If an
airbag fault exists or the brake fluid is low, a message will automatically be displayed on the LCD and the relevant
warning lights illuminated. Should both faults exist at the same time, each message is displayed alternatively for ap
- proximately 2 seconds.
Messages may becancelled
by pressing the 'ODO button which allowsthe LCD to return to its last displayed message.
The warning lamps will not be extinguished. If the fault is not repaired the message(s) and the warning lamp(s) will
be redisplayed when the ignition is switched on.
15.2.11 /llumination
Warning indicator lamp illumination is controlled by a microprocessor located inside the instrument panel.
The seven right
-hand warning indicators are primary warning lamps illuminating 'RED and the seven left-hand warn-
ing indicators are secondary warning lamps illuminating 'AMBER'
The eight lower lamps are
a mixture of status and warning lamps.
With the ignition
'OFF' the LCD is not illuminated.
With ignition
'ON' and side lights 'OFF' the LCD is illuminated at maximum brightness.
With the ignition on and side lights
'OFF' the LCD is dimmed as are the gauges.
The long
life type bulbs are enclosed by orange and brown coloured bulb holders which must never be interchanged.
Replacement bulbs must always be of the same colour.
CAUTIQN: Always dwonnect the battery ground lead before commencing with any instrument rsimwal procedure.
15.2.12 General Repair Notes
0 After lens removal do not rest instrument panel face down as this causes damage to the delicate gauge needles.
Avoid scratching the gauge faces and ensure cleanliness when handling the panel.
0 To minimize the risk of damage and contamination to the instrument panel, all repairs must be carried out in a non - static and dust -free environment. Avoid touching connector pins and pcb components to minimize
risk of static damage.
0 The instrument panel has two different types of bulb holders each of which must be located correctly when
changing the bulbs.

15.5.8 wific Gravity Test
The specific gravity of the electrolyte determines the level of the float in the liquid. With the float in a high position
the specific gravity is high and when the specific gravity is low the float sinks to the lower position.
Using
a hydrometer the specific gravity readings are taken when the liquid level crosses the scale on float. This should
give a accurate indication of the state charge of the battery.
The volume and the specific gravity of the electrolyte varies with the change in temperature.
15.5.9 Electrolyte Temperature Correctkm
For every 10- below 15% subtract 0.007 from the hydrometer reading, and for every 10°C above 15OC add 0.007 to
the hydrometer reading.
Note: Use only distilled water for topping up electrolyte. The electrolyte must not exceed 51.66OC during charging.
If after 30 minutes charging the battery current is not equal or greater than 3A, dispose of the battery.
15.5.10 Heahh and Sakty Precautions
As batteries contain sulphuric acid and explosive mixtures of hydrogen and oxygen gases, it is strongly recommended
that protective clothing is worn.
Avoid spilling acid to prevent damage to clothing and skin bums.
If accidentalty spilled or splashed on clothing or skin, rinse with cold water. As a neutralizer, a solution of baking soda
or ammonia and water may be used.
In the event of skin or eye contact rinse the affected areas with water and should this not
be sufficient seek medical
attention.
Any trace of acid spilled or splashed on the vehicle should be rinsed with clean water.
BEFORE AND WHILST WORKING WITH THE BATTERY BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
o particularly during charging, highly explosive hydrogen is emitted.
0 do not smoke when working near the battery.
o avoid sparks, short circuits or other sources of ignition.
o switch off current before connecting or disconnecting any electrical terminals.
o always disconnect battery ground lead first and reconnect last.
o ensure battery is charged in a well ventilated area.
o switch off the charger before disconnecting.
WARNING: WHEN PREPARING ELECTROLYTE OF A DESIRED SPECIFIC GRAVITY, ALWAYS POUR THE
CONCENTRATED ACID SLOWLY INTO THE WATER AND NOT WATER INTO THE ACID.
HEAT IS GENERATED WHEN MIXING ACID WITH WATER, HENCE ADD SMALL AMOUNTS OF ACID AND
STIR SLOWLY INTO THE WATER. ALLOW TO COOL IF NOTICEABLE HEAT DEVELOPS. EXCEPT FOR LEAD
DO NOT STORE ACID
IN EXCESSIVELY WARM LOCATIONS OR DIRECT SUN LIGHT.FUEL VAPOUR IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE, HENCE GREAT CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHILST WORKING ON THE FUEL
SYSTEM. LINED
CONTAINERS, ALWAYS USE NON
- METALLIC CONTAINERS AND / OR FUNNELS.

15.6.2.2 Programmed Wash / Wipe Operation
The end of the switch lever must be pressed inwards for the windscreen wash and wipe operation. Wash / wipe con- tinues for as long as the lever is pressed.
When released, the windscreen wiper stops immediately and the wiper blades sweep for
a further three wipes.
On pressing the end of the switch lever inward and then releasing
it, the windscreen washers operate for approximately
two seconds before stopping, whilst the wiper blade continues for a further three wipes.
N&: If the end of the switch lever is pressed while the washer fluid warning light is illuminated, the windscreen
washers, but not the wiper blade continues to operate.

15.6.2.3 Headlamp Power Wash Operation (where fitfed)
The headlamp power wash operates only when the programmed washer/ wipe function is selected and the side lights
are 'ON'
The headlamp power wash does not operate if the windscreen washer reservoir fluid lever is low. This is indicated
by the washer fluid level warning light illuminating.
&&: The headlamp power wash only operates on the 1st and every 6th succeeding cycle of the programme wash /wipe switch, after the ignition switch has been turned to position '11'.

A3.2.11 Hydraulic Fittings - Metrification
Metric fastenings are being used increasingly in motor vehicle manufacture, but the use of some UNF threaded parts
must be expected. Technicians must take note of warnings that dangers exist while UNF and metricthreaded hydraulic
parts continue to be used together.
UNF pipe nuts should not be fitted into metric parts, nor
vice
-versa. Experience indicates that it is not safe to rely
upon the difference in thread size. Providing permanent
identification of metric parts is not easy, but recognition has
been assisted by the following means:
All metric pipe nuts, hose ends, unions and bleed screws are
coloured black. The hexagon area of pipe nuts is indented
with the letter 'M'. Metric and UNF pipe nuts are slightly dif
-
ferent in shape.
hlnfe: In the illustrations on this page, 'A' indicates the
metrictype and 'B'the UNF type. The metric female
nut is always used with
a trumpet flared pipe and the
metric male nut is always used with a convex flared
pipe (Fig.
1).
Metric ports in brake cylinders and calipers have no counter-
bores; however, a few cylinders with UNF threads also have
no counterbore. Therefore, all ports with counterbores are
UNF, but ports not counterbored are most likely to be metric
(Fig.
2).
The colour of the protective plugs fitted to cylinder ports
indicate the size and the type of the threads, but the primary
function
ofthe plugs is to protect thecylinder from contami- nation and is not intended as a positive means of identifica- tion. As an indication, the plug colours and thread sizes are:
Colour Size Colour Size
Red 318 in. x 24 UNF Black 10 x 1,0 mm
Green 7/16 in. x 20 UNF Grey 12 x 1,0 mm
