- When switching the ignition on, the nee-
dles in the instrument cluster swing up-
ward briefly.
- The illumination for the instrument clus-
ter lights up whenever you switch on the
ignition with the vehicle headlights off .
As the daylight fades, the instrument
cluster illumination likewise dims auto-
matically a nd will go out completely
when the outside light is
very
low. This
feature is meant to remind you to switch
on the headlights when outside light
conditions become poor .

only works when the ignition is on . To prevent
damage to your engine, please note the fol -
lowing important points:
Engine cold
If the needle is at or close to the bottom of
the gauge, the engine has not yet reached its
operating temperature. Avoid high engine
speeds, heavy engine loads, and heavy throt -
tle app lications.
Normal temperature
When the engine has reached its operating
temperature, the needle will
move
to the mid-
dle of the gauge and remain there . If the en-
gine is working hard at high outs ide tempera-
tures, the needle may
move
higher on the
gauge. This is not a cause for concern as long
as the . warn ing light in the instrument
cluster disp lay does not illuminate. If the.
warning light in the instrument cluster dis -
play flashes, this can mean one of two things:
either the coolant
temperature
is too high, or
the coolant
level
is too low ¢
