The advance warning field, arrow
1
, and the red
warning field, arrow 2 , change depending on
the engine temperature. As the engine temper-
ature rises, the permissible engine speed also
increases. Avoid allowing the engine speed to
rise as far as the orange warning sector when-
ever possible.
Be sure to avoid engine speeds in the red warn-
ing field. In this range, the fuel supply is inter-
rupted to protect the engine.
Coolant temperature
Should the coolant, and with it the engine
become too hot, a warning lamp lights up. In
addition, a message appears on the Control
Display.
Checking coolant level, refer to page
184 .
