Revolutions counter
Read and observe
on page 30 first.
The tachometer
» Fig. 21
on page 30 shows the actual engine speed per mi-
1
nute.
The beginning of the tachometer red scale range indicates the maximum per-
mitted speed for an engine that has been driven-in and has reached operating
temperature.
You should shift into the next highest gear before the red scale of the revolu-
tion counter is reached, or select mode D on the automatic gearbox.
The gear recommendation is important to note in order to maintain the opti-
mum engine speed

CAUTION
The pointer of the tachometer must reach the red area for only a short time -
there is a risk of engine damage!
Coolant temperature gauge
Read and observe
on page 30 first.
The display
» Fig. 22
provides information on the engine coolant temperature.
The display only works if the ignition is switched on.
Cold range
If the pointer is still in the left area of the scale, this indicates that the engine
has not yet reached its operating temperature. Avoid high speeds, full throttle
and high engine loads. This prevents possible damage to the engine.

Coolant temperature gauge
The operating range
The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer
moves into the middle of the scale
High temperature range
If the pointer reaches the red area of the scale, the coolant temperature is too
high.
CAUTION
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the air inlet
■
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant.
Never cover the radiator - there is a risk of the engine overheating.
