1. Tachometer
Indicates engine speed in revolutions per 
minute (x 1000). In normal driving conditions 
the engine is most fuel efficient between 2000 
and 3000 rev/min.
2. Temperature gauge
At normal operating temperature, the pointer 
will be positioned midway between the RED and 
BLUE segments of the gauge (the precise 
position will vary according to climatic 
conditions).If the pointer moves above the mid point, the 
engine coolant is becoming too hot. Should the 
pointer move INTO the RED segment and the 
RED warning indicator within the gauge 
illuminates, severe engine damage could occur 
(under these circumstances, the air 
conditioning may switch off and engine 
performance may reduce in order to minimise 
engine load).

Stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits and 
switch off the engine and allow to cool down. If 
the problem persists, seek qualified assistance 
before continuing.
3. Fuel gauge
When the starter switch is turned to position ’II, 
the pointer quickly rises to show the level of fuel 
in the tank.
When the remaining fuel reaches a minimum of 
12 litres (3 gallons), the AMBER low fuel 
warning indicator in the fuel gauge illuminates.
The remaining fuel should give a range of 80 km 
(50 miles).The small arrow visible alongside the fuel pump 
symbol on the gauge indicates the side of the 
vehicle on which the fuel filler is located - a 
useful reminder to help you position the vehicle 
on the correct side of the forecourt pumps 
before refuelling.
Caution: NEVER allow vehicles to run out of 
fuel as the resultant misfire may damage the 
catalytic converter.
4. Speedometer
Indicates road speed.
5. Total distance (odometer) and trip recorder
Indicates the total distance travelled, and also 
shows the most recent individual journey 
distance, see ODOMETER DISPLAY, 106.
6. Trip recorder reset switch
With the starter switch in position ’ll’, pressing 
this button resets the trip recorder to zero.
7. Gear selector position display
The current gear selector position is displayed. 
See GEAR SELECTOR DISPLAY, 106, for 
further information.

MAIN MESSAGE CENTER
Driver warning and information messages are 
displayed in the main message center. 
They are displayed when a fault is detected and 
also when the starter switch is turned off. It is 
possible, by pressing the system check control 
switch, to view messages for up to 3 minutes 
after the key has been removed from the starter 
switch.
Messages have different priority levels and are 
grouped into the following categories.
Critical warning messages
Critical warning messages are accompanied by 
an audible warning and the warning may have 
the handbook symbol next to it. DO NOT ignore 
these messages - TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION 
IMMEDIATELY! These messages are displayed 
continuously while the starter switch is turned 
on, and remain displayed while the fault 
persists.Warnings and information messages
Warning messages are non-critical, but must 
be treated with some urgency. They will also be 
accompanied by an audible warning each time 
the message is displayed.
DO NOT ignore these messages - TAKE 
CORRECTIVE ACTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Warning messages are displayed for 
approximately 20 seconds. If other warning 
messages are pending, the display time will be 
reduced to approximately 2 seconds.
Information messages will be displayed as and 
when applicable, and also when the starter 
switch is turned on or off. Where the message 
requires action by the driver - TAKE 
CORRECTIVE ACTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Messages are displayed in order of importance 
with critical warnings taking priority.
