8 Alternator charge function indicator light
If the indicator light illuminates with the engine running:
☞Stop the engine immediately and
☞Have the cause repaired by an authorized workshop.
The alternator or the charging circuit of the alternator is faulty if the indicator light comes
on with the engine running. The battery is no longer charged.
9 Engine oil pressure indicator light
If the indicator light illuminates with the engine running:
☞Stop the engine immediately and
☞Fill up oil to the correct level.
The oil pressure in the sump is possibly too low if the indicator light comes on when the
engine is running. Continued running of the engine with low oil pressure could cause dam-
age.

☞Let diesel engine cool down; let the engine run briefly
☞stop the engine, wait at least 10 minutes and
☞check the cooling system.

function if the indicator light comes on when the engine is running.
