Outside temperature warning
Once the display shows a temperature of below
+3
6/377, a signal sounds and a warning
lamp comes on. There is an increased risk of
ice.
Ice can still form even at temperatures
above +3
6/377. You should therefore
drive carefully over bridges and shaded roads;
otherwise there is an increased risk of acci-
dent.

Revolution counter
The white striped advance warning zone,
arrow
1, changes depending on the engine
temperature. As the engine temperature
increases, the advance warning zone reduces in
size accordingly. Avoid engine speeds in the
advance warning zone if possible.
You must avoid engine speeds in the red warn-
ing zone, arrow
2. In this zone the fuel supply is
interrupted to protect the engine.
Coolant temperature
Should the coolant and therefore the engine
become too hot, a warning lamp will come on. In
addition, a message will appear on the control
display.
Checking coolant level, see page
188 .
