The instrument illumination for the needles
and dials turns on when the ignition is turned
on and the lights are turned off. The illumina­
tion for the gauges reduces automat ica lly and
eventually turns off as brightness outside in­
creases . This function reminds the driver to
turn the low beams on at the appropriate
time.

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 eng ine speeds, full accelerating
and heavy engine loads.
Normal range
The engine has reached operating temperature
when the needle moves into the center of the
gauge under norma l driving condit ions. The nee­
dle may move farther to the right on the gauge
with heavier engine load at hig h outside temper ­
atu res . This is no cause for concern as long as the
• indicator light in the instrument cluster does
not turn on.
If the needle is far over on the r ight side of the
gauge and the. indicator light turns o n in the
i nst rument cluster, then the coolant tempera­
ture is too high

Check ing and F illing
To reduce the risk o f lime sca le deposits on the
spray nozzles, use clean water with low amounts
of calcium. A lways add window cleaner to the wa­

anti-freezing agent should be added to the water
so that it does not freeze.
@ Note
-The concentration of anti-freezing agent
must be adjusted to the vehicle operating
cond itions in t he respective climate. A con­
centration that is too high can lead to veh i­
cle damage.
- Never add rad iator anti-freeze or other add i­
tives to the washe r fluid .
- Do not use a glass cleaner that contains
paint solvents, beca use this cou ld damage
