Cooling liquid temperature display
The temperature display [1] is shown in 7 bars. The more bars that light up,
the hotter the cooling liquid. When the lowest bar lights up, the cooling liq-
uid has reached a temperature of approx. 40°C (104°F). When the upper bar
lights up 120°C (248°F), all of the bars will start to blink and the red warn-
ing lamp [2] will light up.
POSSIBLE CAUSES FOR AN INCREASE IN TEMPERATURE, CAUSING THE RED
WARNING LIGHT FOR THE COOLING LIQUID TEMPERATURE TO LIGHT UP (ALSO
SEE PAGE 36):
DRIVING TOO SLOWLY AND DRIVING WITH A HEAVY LOAD AT HIGH AIR TEM-
PERATURES
NOT ENOUGH COOLING LIQUID IN THE SYSTEM
THE VENTILATOR ON THE LEFT RADIATOR IS NOT RUNNING
IMPROPER USE OF THE CLUTCH WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY
Indicator lamps
The green indicator lamp will blink in the blinker rhythm when the
blinker is switched on.
NOTE:
The indicator lamp will blink slower when a blinker is broken.
The green indicator lamp will light up when the gearbox is in an
idling position.
The blue indicator lamp will light up when the high beams are
switched on.
The red warning light will light up when the cooling liquid has
reached a temperature of approx. 120°C (248°F).
The orange warning light will start to blink when the fuel level has
reached the reserve mark. At the same time the display will auto-
matically change to TRIP F (see TRIP F).
The red warning lamp lights up when the ignition is switched on but
the engine is not running. When the engine is started, the warning
lamp will go out as soon as the oil pressure is high enough.
The orange warning lamp (fuel injection) briefly lights up when the
ignition is switched on. It will go out when the gasoline pressure is
high enough.
If this warning lamp lights up while driving, a component in the
injection system is defective. The error can be identified by means
of a blink code (see Maintenance work).
Tachometer
The tachometer [3] shows the engine speed in revolutions per minute. Do not
run the engine beyond the black mark at 9500 rpm.
The speed limiter will set in at 9600 rpm, drastically reducing the engine
power above this rotational speed.
