NOTICE  
To help prevent engine damage, always avoid high engine speeds, full throttle acceleration

(warning zone) briefly.  
Upshifting early into the next higher gear saves fuel and reduces engine noise.

(1)  
Engine oil temperature indicator  
The engine has reached operating temperature when the needle moves into the center of the  
gauge under normal driving conditions. The needle may move farther to the right on the gauge  
with a heavier engine load at high outside temperatures. This is not a cause for concern as  
long as the e or Ô indicator light does light up or flash.or! Bookmark not defined..

Stopwatch  
– Analog stopwatch that measures up to 60 seconds.

Boost pressure indicator  
The boost pressure indicator shows the pressure in the boost pressure duct between the su-  
percharger or turbocharger and the engine. The farther right that the indicator points on the  
gauge, the higher the pressure in the boost pressure duct and the greater the output from the  
engine. The word “Turbo” on the gauge indicates the system is charged.

WARNING  
Rapid acceleration can cause skidding and loss of traction, especially on slippery roads,  
resulting in a loss of vehicle control, collisions, and serious personal injury.  
Only use the stopwatch feature or fast acceleration if visibility, weather, road, and traffic  
conditions permit and other drivers will not be endangered by your driving and the vehicle's  
acceleration.  
WARNING  
Driving on today's roads demands the full attention of the driver at all times. Driver distrac-  
tion causes accidents, collisions and serious personal injury!  
Never set the stopwatch when the vehicle is moving.
