Overview

1972 USA owner's manual (starting page 8):    1974 B120 Pickup owner's manual (starting page 6):

* Seat Belt Warning System North America models
* Speedometer
* Tachometer (OPTIONAL sedan/coupe)

1972 USA Owner's Manual (page 9):

Water Temperature Gauge

1972 USA Owner's Manual If the pointer stays on the "H" side for more than two minutes, stop the vehicle and let the engine cool down, keeping it at 1,000 to 1,500 rpm.

"H" is past the large middle range (way over to right-side -- the H area).

Also see:
* Thermostat
* Temperature Gauge

Fuel Gauge

The fuel gauge is part of the Cluster Gauge

1972 USA Owner's Manual The position of the pointer will vary slightly during acceleration, braking and when the car is going up or down a hill.

Also see: Fuel Sender

Indicator/Warning Lights

Also see: Wiring

Ignition Warning Light

1972 USA Owner's Manual

Oil Pressure Warning Light

1972 USA Owner's Manual

Headlight Beam Indicator Light

1972 USA Owner's Manual

Brake System Warning Light

1972 USA Owner's Manual

Turn Signal Indicator Lights

1972 USA Owner's Manual

Switches

Also see: Wiring

Ignition Switch

Also see: 
* Keys
* Locks
* Ignition Switch

1972 USA Owner's Manual (page 11): ignition switch ... is integrated with the steering lock device ... The "ACC" (accessories) position of the switch permits you to use all of the electrical accessories.

1974 Export Pickup Owner's Manual (pages 9,10): (Optional) ignition switch ... is integrated with the steering lock device ... The key can be inserted or withdrawn only when the switch is in the "GARAGE" or "LOCK" position. In the "GARAGE" position, however, the steering is not locked. (3-position) The "ON" position allows you to turn on the ignition system as well as all the other electrical circuits.

No mention is made of what the OFF position is for. Presumably its use is the same as the "GARAGE" position.

Notice that the standard 3-position type does not have an "ACC" position.

5-position switch vs 4-position switch:

Note addition of ACC position, which power Radio & Rear Defroster

Portugal market:

Interruptor de ignićāo [Ignition switch]
Desligado [OFF]
Ligado    [ON]
Arranque  [START]

Light Switches

Also see: Lighting Switch

Light Switch

1972 USA Owner's Manual

When you pull the switch knob to the first of two positions, parking lights, taillights, license plate lights and instrument panel lights are turned on. At the second position, the parking lights are still on and the headlight beams are lit, then if you push the turn signal lever switch forward, the headlight high beams will be turned on ... Pull the lever toward you, and it will be changed over to low beam.

The key takeaway here is that:

• Knob in the 1st Position, NO HEADLIGHTS for US models
• Knob in the 1st Position, LOW BEAMS work for other countries, including Japan-market

B120 1974 Export owner's manual
