- When switching the ignition on, the needles
in the instrument cluster swing upward
briefly.
- The illumination for the instr ument cluster
lights up whenever you switch on the igni-
tion with the vehicleheadlights off. As the
daylight fades, the instrument cluster illu-
mination likewise dims automatically and
will go out completely when the outside
light is very low. This feature is meant to re-
mind you to switch on the headlights when
outside light conditions become poor.

Engine coolant temperature gauge
The engine coolant gauge ¢ page 8, fig. 3 @ on ly
works when the ignition is on . To prevent dam-
age to your engine, please note the following im-
portant points:
Engine cold
If the needle is at or close to the bottom of the
gauge, the engine has not yet reached its operat-
ing temperature. Avoid high engine speeds,
heavy engine loads, and heavy throttle applica-
tions .
Normal temperature
When the engine has reached its operating tem -
perature, the needle will move to the middle of
the gauge and remain there . If the 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 . warning
light in the instrument cluster display does not il-
luminate . If the . warning light in the instru-
ment cluster display flashes, this can mean one
of two things : either t he coolant temperature is
too high, or the coolant level is too low
