The illumination for the instrument cluster lights up whenever you
switch on the ign ition with the
ve hicle hea dlight s off. As the
daylight fades, the instrument cluster illumination likewise dims
automatically and wil l go out completely when the outside light is
very low. This feature is meant to remind you to switch on th e head ­
lights when outside light conditions become poor. •
Tachometer (engine rev counter)
The tachometer indicates the engine RPM (revolutions per
minutes) .
The tachometer 0 ~ fig. 2 is the left of the two large c lock -type
displays.
The engine turns at a speed
1,000 times the single digit in the
display, e.g . if th e ne edle is pointing a t the
"2" the engine is turning
at 2,000 RPM .
If engine RPM drops below 1,500, you should downshif t to the next
lower gear . The red ar ea at the end of th e scale indica tes maximum
permissible engine RPM after the break- in period. Before reaching
th is area , shift into the next higher gear (manua l transmission),
move the selec tor lever to position "D (Drive)" (automatic) or ease
your foot off the accelerator pedal.
0 Note
T he tachometer need le should not move into the red range . If it
does, then on ly for a very short period of time . You could damage
your engine by driving a t high RPM. ...

<£> For the sake of the environment
Upshifting early saves fuel and reduces engine noise. •

Instruments and warning /indicator lights

display flashes .
- Turn the knob to the left or right.

~ page 12, fig. 2 ©-depending on the instrument cluster configu ­
ration - can turn on the display field lighting for a few seconds .•
Engine coolant temperature gauge
The engine coolant gauge~ page 12, fig. 2 © only works when the
ignition is on. To preven t damage to your engine, please note the
following important points:
Engine cold
As long as the needle remains at the left end of the gauge, the
engine still has not reached its operating temperature . Avoid high
engine speeds, heavy engine loads and heavy throttle.
Normal temperature
When the engine has reached its operating temperature, the needle
will move into the middle of the gauge and remain there. If the
engine is working hard at high outside temperatures, the needle
may turn further to the right. This is no cause for concern as long as
the -~- warning light in the instrument cluster does not illuminate.
When the
_J _ warning light starts to flash, this can mean one of two
things: either the coolant
temperature is too high , or the coolant
level is too low~ page 34. ~
