Page 20: Operation
An over-temperature condition (over 230 degrees F) or a low oil pressure condition, as detected by the Jaguar OEM oil pressure switch (set at 6 psi) or the optional Realgauge oil pressure sensor (set at 8 psi) will cause an audible alarm, which is a high pitched continuous tone. In either case, the car should be pulled off the road as soon as it is safe to do so and the engine shut off to prevent engine damage. - Page 21 (shown below) at the front of the RealGauge module. Then reconnect the battery and reset the windows. This will permanently silence and disable the alarm for the high coolant temperature and low oil pressure and you will never have an audible alarm.
- Page 22 Installation of this unit, as for many aftermarket products, may void your vehicle's warranty, if any. If you do not agree to these terms please return the product within 90 days for a full refund. Rev 1.1 For more info or to purchase go to www.thejagwrangler.com...
