beam indicator lights on the instrument panel.

engine coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks. Also, if gasoline
fumes are detected or if fuel, power steering fluid, or
brake fluid leaks are suspected, the cause should be
located and corrected immediately.

cally switch to the low level after 30 minutes of continu-
ous operation. At that time, the number of indicator
lights changes from two to one, indicating the change.
