Cooling liquid temperature display
The temperature display [1] is shown in 7 bars. The more bars that light up,
the hotter the cooling liquid. When the lowest bar lights up, the cooling liq-
uid has reached a temperature of approx. 40°C (104°F). When the upper bar
lights up 120°C (248°F), all of the bars will start to blink and the red warn-
ing lamp [2] will light up.
POSSIBLE CAUSES FOR AN INCREASE IN TEMPERATURE, CAUSING THE RED
WARNING LIGHT FOR THE COOLING LIQUID TEMPERATURE TO LIGHT UP:
– DRIVING TOO SLOWLY AND DRIVING WITH A HEAVY LOAD AT HIGH AIR TEMPERATURES
– NOT ENOUGH COOLING LIQUID IN THE SYSTEM
– THE VENTILATOR ON THE RADIATOR IS NOT RUNNING
– IMPROPER USE OF THE CLUTCH WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY
Indicator lamps
The green indicator lamp will blink in the blinker rhythm when the
blinker is switched on.
NOTE:
The indicator lamp will blink slower when a blinker is broken.
The green indicator lamp will light up when the gearbox is in an idling
position.
The blue indicator lamp will light up when the high beams are
switched on.
The red warning light will light up when the cooling liquid has reached
a temperature of approx. 120°C (248°F).
The orange warning light will start to blink when the fuel level has
reached the reserve mark. At the same time the display will automat-
ically change to TRIP F (see TRIP F).
The red warning lamp lights up when the ignition is switched on but
the engine is not running. When the engine is started, the warning
lamp will go out as soon as the oil pressure is high enough.
This indicator lamp has no function.
Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine speed in revolutions per minute. Do not run
the engine beyond the black mark at 9500 rpm.
The speed limiter will set in at 9600 rpm, drastically reducing the engine
power above this rotational speed.
