Instrument cluster overview
Note
The instrument cluster is the driver's information centre.
• The needles in the instrument cluster will sweep across the dials
when you switch on the ignition.
• The instrument lighting (illumination of dials and needles) is
switched on when the ignition is on and the vehicle's lights are off.
The instrument lighting is dimmed automatically as the daylight
starts to fade. This function is intended to remind the driver to
switch on the dipped-beam headlights in good time when light
conditions become poor.
Coolant temperature gauge
1
The coolant temperature gauge A ⇒ fig. 2 only works when the
ignition is switched on. In order to avoid possible damage to the
engine, please read the following notes for the different tempera-
ture ranges.
Engine cold

If the needle is still in the lower range of the dial, this indicates that
the engine has not yet reached operating temperature. Avoid high
engine speeds, full acceleration and heavy engine loads.

In normal operation the needle will settle somewhere in the centre
of the dial once the engine has reached operating temperature. The
needle may also go further up when the engine is working hard at
high outside temperatures. This is no cause for concern provided
the warning symbol in the display does not start flashing.
