40 battery no charge warning lamp
(red). It comet on when the ignition is turned ON; the lamp goes off immediately on starting
the engine. If the lamp stays ON with the engine running, the alternator drive belt is slack or
the alternator is faulty.
From experience this is most often caused by a worn fan belt. Replace the fan belt
immediately or you risk burning out the alternator! - Jason
61 parking brake warning lamp
(red). If the ignition is ON, the lamp comes on in flashing light after the brake lever is shifted
to the upper position.
42 oil pressure gauge.
43 low oil pressure warning lamp
(red). The lamp comes on when the ignition is ON. The lamp must go off when the speed of
the started engine is above the minimum rpm.
Extremely important! Never run the car with the low oil pressure warning lamp
on! This will cause rapid engine wear which will cease the engine resulting in
total engine destruction!
Make sure you are always topped up on oil!
