Coolant temperature gauge

Fig. 4 Coolant temperature gauge


The coolant temperature gauge Fig. 4 only operates when the ignition isswitched on.Cold rangeIf the pointer is still in the left area of the scale, this indicates that the engine hasnot yet reached its operating temperature. Avoid high speeds, full throttle andhigh engine loads. This prevents possible damage to the engine.The operating rangeThe engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer movesinto the mid-range of the scale. At very high ambient temperatures or heavy en-gine loads, the pointer may move even further to the right.High temperature rangeIf the pointer reaches the red area of the scale, the coolant temperature is toohigh. Further information page 22.

CAUTIONAdditional headlights and other attached components in front of the air inlet im-pair the cooling efficiency of the coolant.

Fuel gauge

Fig. 5 Fuel gauge


The fuel gauge Fig. 5 only operates if the ignition is switched on.The fuel tank has a capacity of about 50 litres. If the amount of fuel reaches thereserve area (the pointer reaches the red scale range), the indicator symbol illumi-nates to page 25.

CAUTIONNever drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! The irregular supply of fuelcan cause misfiring. This can result in considerable damage to parts of the engineand the exhaust system.

Note After filling up, it can occur that during dynamic driving (e.g. numerous curves,braking, driving downhill and climbing a steep hill) the fuel gauge indicates ap-prox. a fraction less. When stopping or during less dynamic driving, the fuel gaugedisplays the correct fuel level again. This is not a fault. The arrow next to the icon within the fuel gauge displays the installationlocation of the fuel filler on the right side of the vehicle.
