Re: Instrument Panel
Here is a list of most of the things:
There are a few lights I didn't know what they are for.
1: Obvious
2: '‘HOLD’ - usually off. If on, it shows driver has used the A/T switch to force
the gearbox to try to start in second rather than first gear (useful on ice or mud
to reduce slip).
3:‘PWR’ - usually off. If on, it shows driver has used the A/T switch to force the
gearbox to a 'power' mode: faster acceleration by going to higher revs before
changing up a gear.
4: ‘A/T’ warning - usually off. Indicates over-temperature in gearbox if it comes
on while driving. Stop and idle for 5 minutes in park. Check ATF fluid level
with engine on and in neutral.
5: Oil pressure warning - usually off. Indicates loss of engine oil pressure if it
comes on while driving - may cause major engine damage if driven in this
condition. Check oil level in engine
6: Not sure
7: Glow plug status (coil symbol)- usually on momentarily when ignition is
energized. Wait for this light to extinguish before turning the engine - also wait for the relay to click before starting
8:Tach
9: Battery charge warning - usually off when driving. If on (which it should be at
start-up), it shows that the battery is not being charged
10: Fuel filter warning - usually off. If on, there is water that needs to be drained
from the base of the fuel filter.
11: High Beam
12: Speedo
13: Unknown
14: Seat Belts
15: Door warning - light goes on when door is open when ignition is on
16: Engine Temp
17: Fuel
18: 4WD transmission status - shows what the driver has selected with the 4WD
selector.
19: Unknown
20: Unknown
21: Low Fuel Light
22: Lights up 'SPORT' when ECS switch is pushed (switches suspension to 'Sport' mode')
23: unknown
24: Unknown
25: Anti-skid braking (ABS) - usually off. Performs self-test of ABS system when
ignition is turned on, and then light goes off. Light should go on when there is an issue with the ABS
26: Brake status - lights up if handbrake is on. Should light up when brake fluid is low
27: Supplementary restraint system (SRS) - usually off. This is the air bag. system. The light should come on for a few seconds when the ignition is
turned on - this shows that the self-test is being done. When the test is completed successfully then the light is extinguished. If the light stays on then
it is a warning that their may be an issue with the air-bag
28: Button for odometer - one push toggles the display (29) between odometer and trip distance. A sustained push when trip is displayed will reset the trip distance to zero.
29: Odometer

Re: Instrument Panel
Perhaps this will help, it's the owner's manual for a '97 Gen II Space Gear, that picture you posted is out of it.
