When only a single segment remains, representing approxi-
mately 1.3 U.S. gall. (5 litres), the amber low fuel tell tale will
flash. Refuel at the next opportunity.
NOTICE: Do not allow the tank to run completely dry, as this
may damage the catalytic converter and fuel pump. This may
affect the terms of your warranty.
Coolant Temperature Display
The engine coolant temperature will be displayed at the bot
-
tom right hand corner of the panel as soon as the temperature
reaches 162°F. The running temperature will fluctuate a cer
-
tain amount as the operating conditions change, and during
periods of idling or in heavy traffic, the temperature may rise to
over 212°F, with the cooling fans switching on at half speed at
approximately 208°F and at full speed at approximately 217°F.
The temperature display will flash at temperatures over 226°F
to prompt closer monitoring by the driver of high temperatures.
The pressurised cooling system has a boiling point of over 248°F.
If the temperature approaches this level then the driver should
be concerned. If this should occur, allow the engine to idle for a
few minutes whilst monitoring the temperature, and if it continues
to rise, switch off and seek qualified assistance.
NOTICE: After a heavy snowfall, ensure that the radiator cooling
outlet grilles in the front body are cleared of snow before driving
the car, or overheating may occur.
Odometer
An odometer (total distance recorder) reading is displayed at
the bottom left hand corner of the panel.
Trip Recorder
A trip distance recorder is provided at the top left hand corner
of the panel.
In order to zero the trip display, switch on the ignition, and
press for a moment (less than 1 second), the small button
on the steering column shroud ahead of the ignition switch.
This dual function button also controls the panel illumination
- see ‘Instrument & Switch Illumination’.
