Oil pressure warning light

The vehicle is equipped with a telltale light on the
dashboard that lights up when the key is turned to
the «ON» position. However, this light should
switch off once the engine has been started.
If the light turns on during braking, at idling
speed or while turning a corner, it is necessary
to check the oil level and the lubrication sys-
tem.

Checking the ignition timing

- Remove the plastic cap on the flywheel cover
-Turn the flywheel until the reference mark «T» on
the rotor matches the reference mark on the fly-
wheel cover as shown in the figure (TDC). Make
sure that the 4V reference point on the camshaft
control pulley is aligned with the reference point on
the head as shown in the second figure. If the ref-
erence is opposite the indicator on the head, turn
the crankshaft once more.
For the use of this reference mark, remove the
spark plug and turn the engine in the direction that
is the reverse of the normal direction using a cal-
liper spanner applied to the camshaft command
pulley casing.
