BATTERY CHARGE WARNING LAMP
When the starter switch is set to “ON” position, the battery charge warning lamp glows red. When the
battery is being charged normally while the engine is running, the lamp turns off. If the lamp continues
to glow, stop the engine and check the alternator, regulator, and cabling. If there is anything defective,
replace it.
WATER TEMPERATURE WARNING LAMP
Under normal operating conditions, the warning lamp will not turn on with the starter key in the “ON”
position. When the coolant temperature rises abnormally, the warning light lights up, indicating
overheating. Check the coolant level and fan belt, and recondition, as required.
CAUTION:
Utmost care should be taken when removing the radiator cap while the engine is overheated.
LIGHT SWITCH
The headlight switch is located on the left side of the instrument panel.

SAFETY STARTER SWITCH
As mentioned previously in this book, the safety starter switch is provided for preventing unforeseen
accidents while starting the engine. Assembled in the engine starting system between the starter switch
and the starter motor, the safety starter switch works as a circuit breaker in relation to the clutch pedal
operation; unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed to completely interrupt the power to the engine to
the transmission, the safety starter switch remains open, keeping the starter motor circuit to open even
when the starter key is turned to the “START” position.
GLOW PLUG
The engine is fitted with sheathed type glow plugs which preheat the combustion chamber so that the
engine may be started easily even in cold weather.
