My right says "park brake" and lights whenever I pull up the parking brake lever. (Which you people over there refer to as the e-brake. - Which I'm assuming stands for "emergency brake".)
Damn. I know I've posted in other threads that NZ/Aussi BJ4#s never had sedimenters. Obviously I'll have to try and track down those posts now and correct them. 
Anyway - I definitely don't have a "Filter" light. |
LostMarbles,
don't worry too much about the difference between your dual warning light arrangement and the other one with the yellow 'Filter' lens. They were used in markets where the rules about having a seat belt warning lamp were absent presumably. What Toyota did in markets requiring a seat belt warning light and brake warning light is that they take the filter lamp and put it solo elsewhere on the dash. As far as safety concerns go, it would make sense to prioritize the brake warning circuit and seat belt warning light, and make them nice and prominent on the dash, over the sedimenter circuit, which gets relegated to a small solo lamp.
some examples follow - maybe your vehicle has a telltale hole in the dash, or a missing bracket. i can't believe trucks for N.Z. would be spec'd without sedimenters and if you have a sedimenter, then you have a warning light associated to that, along with an inline diode.
