Tachometer
The transistorized tachometer operates on
the pulse count principle and shows engine
speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
The red mark at the end of the scale indi-
cates the maximum permissible engine rpm.
Before reaching this area, the next higher
gear should be selected. Earlier shifting
saves fuel.
Shift to the next lower gear when the engine
rpm drops below 1500 rpm.
The speed limiting governor prevents the
engine from being overrevved under load.
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates driving speed
per hour.
In USA: Miles and Kilometers per hour
In Canada: Kilometers per hour
The upper odometer records total distance
driven and cannot be turned back.
The trip odometer in the lower part of the
instrument can be turned back to zero by
depressing the odometer reset switch on the
lower left side of the instrument cluster.
High beam indicator light
The blue light in the instrument cluster will
light up when the selector lever is pushed
forward. The blue light will go out as soon
as low beam is selected.
Turn signal indicator light
The green signal indicator light in the instru-
ment cluster will flash with the selector lever
in either up or down position. If a turn signal
bulb becomes defective, the indicator light
flashes at about twice the normal frequency.
Central warning light
The central warning light in the instrument
cluster will light up or flash when a fault
occurs in one of the vehicle's systems. (Re-
fer to "Central warning system").
