Page 9 of the "Quick Start" manual for my '13 90 show that there are 12 warning lights on the dash, all of which should light up when the ignition switch is moved to position 2. There is no way known that 12 lights light up on my dash.
Lights that do not come on are, Seat belt reminder, glow plug active, diff lock engaged, heated rear screen, DPF (2) (no dpf is fitted!), hazard warning, trailer attached, headlight high beam, rear fog lamp. NONE of these light up on position 2.
What do light up are only 7 warning lights: Red oil light, red battery light, yellow engine light, handbrake warning light, ABS, T.C. & a yellow "dot".
I was just wondering what you other Puma owners have lighting up on position 2 of your lock? There is no way known that I have twelve as mentioned in the manual.
Thanks, Pickles.

Yeah 7 sounds about right......

But if you can catch the sun at the right angle shining on the dash you will see many more icons.

The PUMA shares the dash cluster with the freeland2.

Does it share the same speedo then aswell? And if it does, does that mean that the speedo/trip meter etc could be changed over?
That could end up being a handy little mod if that was the case :cool:

Interesting question Pickles

Unfortunately because am away from home can't check on ours.

However, I do recall seeing a DPF light illuminate with other lights on startup on Hector's dash. Of course that particular light never comes on at any other time but on ours it's definitely wired.... Perhaps MY1012 vehicles had exactly the same dash wiring as the Euro models, regardless of what was under the bonnet.

Went to Dealer's today, & checked the dash lights on a new 110,.....exactly the same light up as ours,.....so the manual is completely wrong!!
Cheers, Pickles.
