• When swi tching the ignition on, the needles in the instrument
cluster swing upward briefly.
• The illumination for the instrument cluster lights up wh en ever
you switch on the ignition with the
vehicle headlights off. As the
dayligh t fades , the instrument cluster illumina tion 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 the head ­
lights when outside light conditions become poor.•
Engine coolant temperature gauge
The engine coolant gauge=> fig . 2 CD only works when the ignition
is on . To prevent damage to your engine , please note the following
important points:
Engine cold
If th e needle is at or close to the bot tom of the gauge, the engine
has not yet reached its operating temperature. Avoid high engine
speeds, heavy engine loads, and heavy throttle app lications.
Normal temperature
When the engine has reached its operating temperature, the needle
will move to the middle o f the gauge and remain ther e. I f t he engine
is working hard at high outside temperatures , the needle may move
higher on the gauge. This is not a cause for concern as long as the
.J L warning light in the instrument cluster display does not illumi -
