Instrument Cluster / Carrier: Description and Operation

WARNING LIGHT SYMBOLS

Key To Warning Indicators:

The differential lock warning light, (located on the radio console) and the fifteen segments of the warning light panel within the panel will all be illuminated when the ignition key is turned to the Ignition On II position as an initial check to ensure that all bulbs are operational. All bulbs, except for the Brake Failure/ Transmission Parking Brake, Engine Oil Pressure, and Ignition On symbols will go out automatically.

The Engine Oil Pressure and Ignition On symbols will remain on when the ignition key is turned to the engine crank position III and extinguished when the engine is running.

The Brake Failure/Transmission Parking Brake symbol will extinguish when the parking brake lever is released.

NOTE: Should the ignition key be turned directly to the engine crank position the bulb check procedure will be overridden.

A photo transistor incorporated into the instrument panel senses ambient light levels. During normal ambient daylight levels, the warning light panel will glow at normal intensity. When ambient light levels decrease, the photo transistor senses the reduction and lowers the intensity of the warning light panel accordingly.
