The ill um inatio n for the instrument cluster
lights up whenever you switch on the ig nit ion
w ith the vehicle headlights off. As the day-
light fades, the instrument cluster illumina-
tion lik ewise dims automatica lly and will go
out comp letely when the outside light is very
low . This feature is meant to remind you to
switch on the headlights when outside light
conditions become poor .

Engine coolant temperature gauge
The engine coolant gauge ¢ page 8, fig. 3 CDon ly
works when the ign ition 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 inst rument cluste r display does not il-
luminate . ..,.
