Bulb test: As the engine is started, all the lights should glow for approx. 1 second. If not, a blown fuse may be the cause. Check and replace parts as necessary.

Fuel gauge

LX1048309-UN-01JUL09

The fuel gauge shows the amount of fuel in the tank, from full to empty (end of red). When the indicator needle enters the red, there are still approx. 35 liters (9.2 U.S. gal.) remaining.

NOTE: Never run the tank completely dry, otherwise you will have to bleed the fuel system.

Coolant temperature gauge

LX1048310-UN-01JUL09

If the coolant gauge needle moves into the red (A), the engine is overheating. Immediately reduce load or shift to a lower gear. If the needle remains in the red, shut off engine and determine cause of overheating (coolant level low, dirty radiator or dirty radiator screen).
