I - Tachometer*
"he red shaded 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
'eaching this area, the next higher gear
snould be selected or the foot eased off
the accelerator pedal. Earlier shifting saves fuel and reduces noise.
Sniff to the next lower gear when the en-
; ne rpm drops below 1500 rpm.
~ne green shaded area on the scale snows the speed at which the engine is de-
•
eloping its most favourable torque.
3 - Normal clock*

~J
set the clock, depress the knob in the : al center and
turn.
4 - Coolant temperature
gauge X
tare applicable The needle in the coolant temperature
gauge will indicate the temperature of the
coolant shortly after the ignition is
switched on.
When ignition is switched on the warning light (c) will flash for a few seconds as a
functional check.
a - Engine cold
Avoid high engine speeds and heavy throt­ tle when the needle is still in this area of
the
dial.

b - Normal temperature During normal running the needle will re­
main somewhere in the middle of the
dial.
If the engine is working hard at hign a--
bient temperatures, the needle may as:
go further to the right, but this is no cause
for concern so long as the coolant
tem­
perature warning light does not start

flashing.

c - Warning light If the light flashes when driving first check
the coolant temperature gauge. If the nee­
dle is in the normal range, add coolant at the next opportunity. If the needle is in the warn­
ing range, either the coolant level is too low
or the coolant temperature is too high. Move the vehicle a safe distance off the

road,
stop the engine and depress the
emergency flasher switch.
The fan should be operating when the warning light is on (listen for fan, located in
front of car behind grille).
WARNING • To reduce the risk of being burned,
never open the hood if you see or hear
steam or coolant escaping from the
engine compartment. Wait until no
steam or coolant can be seen or heard
before carefully opening the hood.
