2-The yellow "CAUTION" light flashes when indicator lights 7, 8, 12, 13 or 14 come on, and when the handbrake is applied with the engine running and a gear engaged or the reverse drive lever set to any position other than neutral.

3-This light flashes when there is a fault in an electrical component associated with the hydraulic system or transmission. See your John Deere dealer immediately.

The light flashes together with the lights 1, 2 or 3 whenever malfunctions occur.

On tractors equipped with a water sensor at the fuel filter, this lamp flashes as soon as water deposits have settled in fuel filter.

5-This flashing warning light comes on when the hazard warning lights are selected.

6-The handbrake indicator light glows when handbrake is applied and engine is running. In addition, an acoustic warning signal may be installed.

7-This light glows when coolant temperature is too high.

8-This warning light glows when transmission/hydraulic oil temperature is too high.

9-If this warning light glows, transmission/hydraulic oil pressure is too low. See your John Deere dealer immediately.

10-If engine oil pressure warning light glows with engine running, shut off engine and check the level of engine oil.

11-The full beam indicator light will glow whenever the headlights are switched on at full beam.

12-If alternator indicator light glows with engine running, this indicates a defect at alternator. Check alternator cables. If necessary, have the alternator checked by your John Deere dealer.

14-This light glows when the transmission oil filter is clogged or the oil temperature is too low.

15-This light glows when there is a fault in the following transmissions: PowrQuad Plus, AutoQuad Plus or AutoPowr.

16-The flashing indicator light for tractor starts flashing when turn-signal or hazard warning lights are switched on.

17-The flashing indicator lights for trailer start flashing when turn-signal or hazard warning lights are switched on.

Bulb test: As the engine is started, all the lights should glow for approx. 1 second. If this is not the case, a defective bulb or blown fuse may be the cause. Check and replace parts as necessary.

The indicator lights should go out as soon as the engine is running.

The fuel gauge shows the amount of fuel in the tank, from "full" to "empty" (end of red sector). When the indicator needle enters the red sector, there are still approx. 35 liters (9.2 U.S. gal.) remaining in the tank.

NOTE: Never run the tank completely dry, otherwise you will have to bleed the fuel system.

Coolant temperature gauge

Should the coolant gauge needle move into the red zone (A), the engine is overheating. Immediately reduce load or shift to a lower gear. Should the needle remain in the red zone, shut off engine and determine cause of overheating (coolant level low, dirty radiator or dirty radiator screen).
