The index of temperature of cooling liquid works only at the included ignition. In order to avoid damages of the engine take the following instructions of rather temperature conditions into account.

Interval of temperatures of the cold engine

If the arrow still is in the left part of a scale, it means that the engine did not reach working temperature yet. Avoid the raised turns, "full gas" and considerable loading of the engine.

Working temperature

The engine reached the working temperature if at the normal mode of the movement of the shooter of the index of temperature is in limits of a middle part of a scale. At considerable loading of the engine and high temperature of external air of the shooter can depart further to the right on a scale. It should not become a reason for alarm until on the display of a control panel the alarm symbol lights up

The blinking of an alarm symbol on the display testifies to falling of level of cooling liquid or its overheat, see. Information system of the driver (FIS).

Additional headlights and other hinged components interfering a supply of the cooling air worsen effect of cooling of cooling liquid. At the high external temperature and considerable loading of the engine in this case there is a danger of an overheat of the engine!

One of problems of a forward spoiler during the movement is the correct distribution of the cooling air. At damage of a spoiler the cooling effect worsens and there is a danger of an overheat of the engine! Use the qualified help.

Tachometer

The tachometer shows the frequency of rotation of the crankshaft of the engine.

With a frequency of rotation less than 1500 revolutions per minute it is necessary to switch to the following low gear. The beginning of red sector of a scale corresponds for all transfers to the range of the maximum turns, admissible is short-term for the rolled and heated-up engine. It is necessary to switch to an overgear, to install the selector lever in the situation "D" or to reduce gas until achievement by an arrow of this sector of a scale.

Only short-term calling of an arrow of a tachometer on red sector of a scale is allowed - there is a danger of damage of the engine! The beginning of a red scale depends on engine option.

Preliminary switching on overgears will help you to save fuel and to reduce operational noise!
