with hot engine; must extinguish when
engine speed is increased.
If
it illuminates during driving;
engine oil pressure may be dangerously
low, interrupting engine lubrication and
resulting in damage to the engine and/or
locking of the driving wheels:
z Move out of the flow of traffic as quickly
as possible without impeding other
vehicles,
z Depress clutch,
z Move gearshift lever to neutral
(automatic transmission to N),
z Switch off ignition. Check engine oil level before consulting
a workshop. If the oil level is low, top up
using the specified engine oil - see pages
192, 213, 217.

Tachometer
Making use of the tachometer helps to
save fuel; it indicates the engine speed in
revolutions per minute (rpm).
Red warning zone on right; maximum
permissible engine speed exceeded,
danger to engine.
If possible, drive in each gear in the low
engine speed range (between approx.
2000 and 3000 rpm) and maintain an even
vehicle speed to maximise fuel efficiency. Speedometer
Indicates the vehicle speed.
Odometer
The odometer indicates how far the vehicle
has been driven.
Trip odometer
There are two independent trip odometers
which indicate how far the vehicle has been
driven since the last reset.
Press the trip odometer button once to

is low, control indicator
Y illuminates:
fill up fuel tank as soon as possible -
see page 132.
Never let the fuel tank become empty.
Diesel engines: if the tank has been run dry,
bleed the fuel system as described on
page 171.

the tank, the amount of fuel required to fill
the tank may be less than the specified
tank capacity. Transmission display 3
