;::) a,

The coolant temperature indicator@~ page 10,
fig . 3
only operates when the ign ition is switched
on. To prevent engine damage, please observe
the following notes about the temperature rang­
es .
Cold range
If the needle is at the bottom of the gauge, the
engine has not reached operating temperature
yet. Avoid high engine speeds, full accelerating
and heavy engine loads.
Normal rang e
The engine has reached operating temperature
when the needle moves into the center of the
gauge under norma l dr iving condit ions. The nee­
dle may move farther to the right on the gauge
with heavier engine load at high outside temper­
atures . This is no cause for concern as long as the
• indicator light in the instrument cluster does
not turn on . If the needle is fa r over on the r ight
s ide of the gauge and the . indicator light tu rns
on, then the coolan t temperatu re is too high
