An orange light that says PWR has come on (on the dashboard to the right of where the 4wheel drive pic is). Does anyone know what this is and does it mean anything serious? I've looked in the manual and done a search on here but can't find anything, thanks in advance... |

You've pressed the rocker button that says HOLD-AUTO-PWR - it won't cause you any problems when on PWR, but it will hold the revs longer and will make your PJ more thirsty!
The rocker button should be down near the base of the gear-stick ... press it gently so it's back in the middle position.
This is all in the owners handbook ... and HERE <-- click to link

Thanks guys, all help appreciated, if I had taken the time to look further I would have realised this, but I've been trying to do 8 things at once today ....wrestling with a 6'2 Norwegian for most of it (Putting my Christmas tree up before the kids came home from school haha!!) |

From what I know it holds the revs longer in any gear to give you a bit more oomph!! and less MPG |

Hi M8.
The O/D switch is just like a 5th gear.
Should drop in at about 50MPH.
Also leave it on all the time for normal road driving (if your towing click it off on long hills).
Happy Pajing.
