Fuel Gauge; Warning Lights - Caterham SEVEN Owner's Handbook Manual

Fuel gauge

The needle indicates the fuel level. After refuelling, the gauge slowly rises to the new level once the ignition switch
is turned on.
WARNING! NEVER allow the car to run out of fuel (the resultant misfire could destroy the catalytic converter).

Warning lights

Battery charging – Red
The light illuminates as a bulb check when the ignition switch is turned to position 'II' and extinguishes as soon as
the engine is running. If it remains on, or illuminates whilst driving, a fault with the battery charging system is
indicated. Seek qualified assistance from Caterham.
Direction indicators – Green
The indicator warning light flashes in time with the left or right direction indicator lights, whenever they are
operated. If the warning light fails to illuminate or flashes very rapidly, this means that one of the indicator lights is
not operating.
Engine warning - Amber
If this lamp illuminates with the engine running it indicates a malfunction within the engine control system. Each
malfunction will have a specific code and description and can be read using an OBD generic scan tool. This should
be carried out as soon as possible. If engine warning light persists, please seek qualified assistance from
Caterham.
Brake system – Red
The light has dual function for 'low brake fluid' and 'hand brake applied'. The light illuminates as a bulb check when
the ignition switch is turned to position 'II' and extinguishes soon after. The light will continue to illuminate for as
long as the hand brake is applied. If it remains on when the hand brake is released, a fault with the brake fluid level
is indicated. Seek qualified assistance from Caterham.
Headlight main beam – Blue
Illuminates when the headlights are switched to main beam.
Immobiliser warning light - Red
