INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
GAUGES
Engine coolant temperature
gauge
Indicates the temperature of the
engine coolant. At normal
operating temperature, the needle
remains within the “NORM” area. If
it enters the red section, the
engine is overheating. Switch off
the ignition and let it cool. Refer to
Checking and adding engine
coolant in the Maintenance and
care chapter.
Engine oil pressure gauge
This shows the engine oil pressure
in the system. Sufficient pressure
exists as long as the needle
remains in the “NORM” range.
If the gauge indicates constantly
low pressure at normal engine
speed, refer to Checking and
adding engine oil in the
Maintenance and care chapter. If
the gauge indicates a low pressure
and the engine oil level is correct,
switch off the engine immediately
