    As per a previous discussion, the warning light exists (red lamp on dashboard) - but where does one turn it on in-cab? I can't find it. I did find PZB switch (breaker behind a plastic cover, to the left of the radio). But no SIFA that I can locate.

    If you look slightly down from the perspective you start in (possibly using the flashlight as it‘s very dark there), you‘ll find a selection of fuses - basically where the driver‘s knees would be. One of these fuses is the SIFA one.

    Sorry, I'm not having any luck. I can't find anything interactable at all down there, save the horn and sand buttons on the right side.

    EDIT: never mind, just found it. A nearly invisible row of breakers along the front bulkhead.

    From memory, as it's a shunter it only has the one mode. It's not capable of travelling at the higher speed to warrant the other modes

    By DB policy all Kleinloks (small shunters) are only permitted to run in U. Not that it matters; you'll never get up to 55 anyway!
