- When switching the ignition on, the nee-
dles in the instrument cluster move 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 and will go out completely
when the outside light is very low. This
feature is meant to remind you to switch
on the headlights w hen outside light
conditions become poor .

is the left
of the two large clock-type dis plays.
The engine turns at a speed
1,000 times
the
single digit in the display, e.g . if the needle is
pointing at the "2" the engine is turning at
2,000 RPM.
The tachometer indicates the engine RPM
(revolutions per minutes). The red area at the
end of the scale indicates maximum permissi-
ble engine RPM after the break-in period. Be-
fore reaching this area, move the selector lev-
er to position "D (Drive)" or ease your foot off
the accelerator pedal.

Note
The tachometer needle should not move
into the red range . If it does, then only for
a ve ry short per iod of time. You could
damage your engine by driving at high
RPM.
