light high beams.
Ashtray
(1
1)
An ashtray is provided
in
the center of the facia top. To
empty, lift the assembly from the surround.
Oil Pressure Gauge (12)
Oil pressure at 2,000 r.p.m. under normal operating condi-
tions, should
be
45-65 Ibs./sq. in. Severe operating conditions,
such
as
competition work, may cause the oil pressure to drop
below 25 lb./sq. in., indicating that the oil temperature is
excessive. Under these circumstances fitment of anoil cooler may
be
necessary.
Temperature Gauge
(1
3)
When the ignition switch is turned 'ON' the pointer moves
slowly across the dial taking up to one minute to reach a true
reading.
Normal operating temperature is reached when the pointer
registers in the central sector of the dial. Shouldthepointer reach
the highest mark, stop the engine immediately and check the
level of coolant
in
the radiator. Refer to page
49.
Brake-line Failure/Handbrake Warning Indicator (14)
When the ignition switch is turned on the "brake line failure"
and "low oil pressure" indicator lights glow faintly and are
extinguished when the engine is running. Should failure of the
front or rear brake lines occur, the indicator (14) will glow
brightly.
A
broken bulb filament is indicated by the warning light
failing to glow when the ignition is turned on, before starting the
engine.
The warning light will also glow brightly, as a reminder to
the driver, when the handbrake is applied, provided that the
ignition switch is "ON".

CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND INDICATORS
Instrument Illumination Rheostat
(15)
Turn the knob clockwise to illuminate the instruments.
Further rotation of the knob diminishes the light intensity-
operates only when the lighting switch is
'ON'.
Fuel Gauge
(1
6)
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate contents of the
fuel tdnk. When the ignition switch is turned
'ON'
the pointer
moves slowly across the dial taking up to one minute to reach a
steady reading which it will maintain regardless of vehicle move-
ment, until the ignition is switched
'OFF'.
Seat Belt Warning Indicator
(17)
A lamp and an audible warning system are actuated if an
attempt is made to start the car without the seat belts in use.
For full details of the system and correct starting sequence see
page 37-'Driving the Car'.
Voltmeter
(18)
This gauge is a battery condition indicator and registers the
battery's state of charge. With the engine running above idling
speed the indicator should register approximately 14 volts. A
reading above 15volts, which continues after
10
minutes running,
is too high and should be investigated. A reading of 13 to 13-5
volts is too low unless the headlamps and other electrical equip-
ment are in use.

the engine starts push the choke control in until the engine main-
tains an idling speed of approximately 1100 r.p.m. The choke
control should
be
pushed in fully as soon as the engine will
maintain normal running without its use.
Under warm ambient temperatures
Use full choke to fireengine, return to fast idle position when
engine fires, where definite notch will be felt on the cable pull.
After approximately one minute of engine running return the
control knob to the fully in position.
Heat Control
(23)
The heat control operates a water valve which regulates the
flow of water through the heater unit. The control may
be
set at
any intermediate position as required. The water valve is closed
when the control is pushed in; maximum heat is available when
the control is pulled out.
Blower Switch
(24)

CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND INDICATORS
Odometer (41, Fig.
5)
The figures within the aperture below the center of the speed-
ometer dial show the total mileage of the vehicle and may be
used as a guide for periodic lubrication and maintenance.
Trip Odometer (42, Fig. 5)
The figures within the aperture above the center of the
speedometer dial may
be
used to record the distance of each
journey, provided that the figures are initially set at zero. (See
'Trip Zero Control', 34.)
RadioControls
Theradio aeriel fitted tothe left front wing is raised by pulling
the protruding tip upwards. The aeriel should always be lowered
before the car is put through an automatic car wash plant.
Two radio speakers are fitted in the facia consol for connec-
tion to an approved radio receiver. Refer to the radio leaflet
supplied with the set for operating instructions.
Sun Visors
Two adjustable sun visors, padded to reduce the risk of
impact injury, may be unclipped fromthe centre support brackets
and swung to eliminate side glare. The passenger's sun visor
incorporates a vanity mirror.
Rear View Mirror (See page 20)
SAFETY
HARNESS
Safety harness anchorage points are built into the vehicle and
automatic, reel type safety belts are fitted before the car is
delivered.
Using the Harness
Ensure that the buckle unit is conveniently situated by the
side of the seat and pass the seat buckle over the shoulder nearest
to the car door. With the lap and body belts passing across the
body, plug the belt buckle into the nearest centre buckle unit.
This is denoted by a positive 'click'.
Torelease the harness depress the marked panel onthecentre
buckle unit.
SeatBelt WarningSystem
Theseat belt warning devicewill operateif an attempt is made
to start the car without the seat belts in use. For full details see
page 37 "Driving the Car".
Cleaning
Badly stained safety belts can be dry cleaned. The cleaner
should be advised of the nature of staining. Belts subjected to
normal soiling can be cleaned with soap, or detergents dissolved
in hot water.
Inertia Reel Mechanism Check
Every 10,000 km (6000 miles), carry out the following road
check to ensure that the safety harness inertia reel mechanisms
for both driver and passenger continue to operate satisfactorily.
IMPORTANT. Road tests must only be carried out under
maximum safe road conditions, i.e. level, dry road with no
following or oncoming traffic of any kind.
(a) With the safety harness fitted to driver and passenger as
previously described, start the engine and accelerate the
vehicle to approximately 24 km/h (15 m.p.h.). Ensuring
that it is safe to do so, brake sharply.

S
EATS
(b) The safety harness should automatically lock, holding both
driver and passenger securely in position.
It is important when braking that the reaction of both driver
and passenger is normal, i.e. the body must not be thrown
forward in anticipation, thus causing a 'snatching' action
of the reel which will not operate the locking mechanism.
The harness is locked by retardation of the car, not by body
movement.
SEATS
The seats areof the bucket type and haveadjustable headrests
to prevent the effects of backlash in an accident. The seats are
pivoted at the front and secured at the rear by a spring loaded
lever
A
(Fig. 2) which prevents the seat liftingduring anaccident.
The lever, when moved forwards allows the seat to be tilted and
access to
be
gained to the rear of the driving compartment.
To clean the seats refer to page 21 "Care of Bodywork".
Adjustments
The seats areadjustable for leg reach (fore and aft movement)
and squab angle (back of the seat rake).
Leg reach adjustmerzt
This is adjusted by moving the lever (Fig.
1)
situated at the
front of the seat and sliding the seat to the position required.
Release the lever and try to slide the seat to ensure that the lever
is correctly located and the seat is secure.
Squab angle adjustment
Sit in the seat, lift the lever B (Fig. 2) and assume the desired
posture, release the lever.
