The illumination
for the instrument cluster lights up whenever you
switch on the ignition with the vehicle headlights off. As the
daylight fades, the instrument
cluster illumination
likewise dims
automatically
and wil l go out complete ly when the outside light is
very low . This feature is meant to remind you to switch on the head-
lights when outside light conditions become poor. •
Engine
coolant
temperature
gauge
The engine coolant gauge => fig. 2
G)
only works when the ignition
is on. To prevent damage to your engine, please note the following
important
points:
Engine
co ld
As long as the needle remains at the left end of the gauge, the
engine still has not reached its operating temperature. Avoid high
engine speeds, heavy engine loads and heavy throttle applications .
Normal
temperature
When the engine has reached its operating temperature, the needle
will move into the middle of the gauge and remain there. If the
engine is working hard at high outside temperatures,
the needle
may go further to the right. This is no need to worry as long as the
- ~ - warning light in the instrument cluster does not illuminate.
Warning
light in the instrument
cluster
- L
When the _L warning light starts to flash, this can mean one of two
things: either the coolant temperature is too high, or the coolant
level is too low => page 31.
