CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
45
1 – Coolant temperature gauge
When the ignition is switched on the
needle in the coolant temperature gauge
will indicate the temperature of the
coolant.
Engine cold
Avoid high engine speeds and heavy
throttle application when the needle is
still on the left of the dial.
Normal temperature
During normal running the needle will
settle somewhere in the middle of the
dial.
If the engine is working hard at high
ambient temperatures, the needle may
also go further to the right,
but this is no
cause for concern provided that the
coolant temperature warning light
does not start flashing.
Warning light
If the coolant warning light (see page 48)
or the light in the Auto-Check System
*
{see page 54) lights up while driving, the
engine may be overheated because of
low coolant level. Move the vehicle a safe
distance off the road, stop the engine and
lift the emergency flasher switch lever up.
*
where applicable
WARNINGS and further details see
page 54 and 113.
Note
Do not install accessories (additional
lights or insect screens, for example)
on top of the front bumper. They may
restrict engine cooling.
2 – Digital clock
The digital clock is incorporated in the
tachometer dial.
Pull out and turn the
knob (see position 9) as follows to set the
time.
§
Turn all the way to the left to set the
hours.
§
Turn all the way to the right to set
the minutes.
The hours or minutes will advance
continuously if the knob is turned and
held.
To set the clock accurately to the second:
§
Turn the knob to the right and hold
until the clock reads one minute before
the time to beset.
§
Turn the knob to the right again
briefly to coincide with a radio time
signal, or when the seconds reading on
an accurate wrist watch reaches a full
minute.
3 – Tachometer
The red area at the end of the scale
indicates the maximum permissible
engine rpm (revolutions per minute) for
all gears after the break-in period. Before
reaching this area, the next higher gear
should be selected or the foot eased on
the accelerator pedal. Earlier shifting
saves fuel and reduces noise.
Shift to the next lower gear when the
engine rpm drops below 1500 rpm.
