Revolutions counter
Read and observe on page 28 first.
The red scale of the revolution counter
1
» Fig. 20 on page 28 indicates the
range in which the system begins to limit the engine speed. The system auto-
matically restricts the engine speed to a steady limit.
You should shift into the next higher gear before the red scale of the revolu-
tion counter is reached, or select mode D on the automatic gearbox.
Follow the recommended gear to prevent engine speeds that are too high or
too low » page 40.

Coolant temperature gauge
Fig. 21
Coolant temperature gauge
Read and observe on page 28 first.
The coolant temperature gauge » Fig. 21 only operates when the ignitions is
switched on.
Cold range
The pointer in the left of the scale indicates that the engine has not yet
reached its operating temperature. Avoid high speeds, full throttle and high
engine loads. This prevents possible damage to the engine.
The operating range
The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer
moves into the middle of the scale. At very high ambient temperatures or
heavy engine loads, the pointer may move even further to the right.
High temperature range
If the pointer reaches the red area of the scale, the coolant temperature is too
high. Further information » page 34.
CAUTION
■
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant.
■
Never cover the radiator - there is a risk of the engine overheating.
