Tachometer
The advance warning field, arrow1, and the red
warning field, arrow2, 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 advance warning field whenever possible.
Always avoid engine speeds in the red warning
field.
In this range, the fuel supply is interrupted to
protect the engine.
Coolant temperature
Should the coolant and therefore the engine
become too hot, a warning lamp lights up. In
addition, a message appears on the Control
Display.
Checking coolant level, refer to page178.
