The instrument illumination for the needles
and dials turns on when the ignition is turned
on and the lights are turned off. The illumina-
t ion fo r the dials reduces automatically and
eventua lly turns off as brightness outside in-
creases. This function reminds the driver to
turn the headlights on at the appropriate
time.

only works when the ign ition is on. To prevent
10
damage to your engine, please note the follow-
ing important points:
Engine cold
If only the LEDs at the bottom of the gauge turn
on, the engine has not reached operat ing tem-
perature yet. Avoid high engine speeds, heavy en-
gine loads and heavy throttle applications.
Normal temperature
The engine has reached its operating tempera-
ture once the LEDs up to the center of the gauge
turn on under normal driving conditions. The
LEDs higher up may turn on when the engine is
under heavy load or the exterior temperature is
high . This is no need to worry as long as the .
warning light in the instrument cluster does not
ill uminate .
If
the LEDs in the upper area of the
display and the indicator light. in the instru-
ment clust er display turn on, the coolant t emper-
atu re is too high
