°C _ Engine oil temperature
Oil temperatures (within a range of + 50 de­
grees C and + 160 degrees C) are shown.
When no oil temperature indication is
shown,
the engine is still not warm, and it
should not therefore be worked hard. The engine speed should be reduced if the oil
temperature rises to + 145 degrees C. of* -• -

«>*
'i* - Ambient temperature
The measuring range is from - 40 degrees
C to + 50 degrees C..
When the vehicle is stationary or only moving very slowly, the indicated tempera­
ture could be slightly higher than the actual ambient temperature due to heat radiation
from the engine or use of the auxiliary heater.
Attention If the ambient temperature read­
ing is used as an ice warning, re­
member that ice can form on the road at temperatures above 0 C.
Note Both temperatures are momentary values.
They are not stored in the memory.
