Tachometer
3 Outside temperature display
The outside temperature appears in the
display panel as soon as you turn the
ignition key to position 1.
You can change the units of measure
(6/7) by
1 pressing and holding down the but-
ton (arrow) with the ignition key in po-
sition 1
2 while turning the ignition key to 0.
Ice warning
1 Odometer
Never allow the engine to operate with
the needle in the red overspeed zone of
the gauge.
If the outside temperature drops to ap-
prox. +37.5 7 (+36), a warning signal
sounds and the display flashes briefly.
You can activate the displays shown in
the illustration with the ignition key in
position 0 by pressing the button in the
instrument cluster (arrow).
To protect the engine, the engine-man-
agement system automatically inter-
rupts the fuel supply in this range; the
resulting effect resembles that associ-
ated with a sudden loss of power.
The warning is repeated whenever the
temperature goes to at least +43 7
(+66), and then drops to +37.5 7
(+36) again.
2 Trip odometer
To reset the trip odometer to zero,
press the button (arrow) with the igni-
tion key in position 1 or 2.
The ice warning does not alter the
fact that surface ice can form at
temperatures above +37.5 7 (+3 6),
on bridges or shaded road surfaces, for
instance.<
