NIGHT PANEL

To improve night-driving conditions inside the car, the Night Panel mode can be selected. In this mode, the amount of infor- mation displayed is reduced, and only the most important instruments and displays will be illuminated.

When the NIGHT PANEL button is pressed, only the speedometer will be illuminated, all the other instruments illumination being extinguished and their needles moved to zero. The SID display will be extinguished and the backlighting for switches and other controls will be dimmed. Note: All indicator and warning lights, together with the display of CHECK messages, will operate as nor- mal, except ”Outdoor temperature”, see page 68.

The following conditions will wake up the respective displays in the Night-Panel mode:

Setting of the Audio system or, SID (dis- play comes on for ten seconds).

High engine revs cause the rev counter to be illuminated until the engine speed has fallen again.

If the quantity of fuel remaining falls below 4 gallons (15 liters), the fuel gauge will be illuminated.

If the engine temperature rises above nor- mal, the temperature gauge will be illumi- nated.

In cars with automatic transmission, if the selector lever is moved from D to position M or L, the selector indication on the main instrument panel will be illuminated.

To restore the displays and lighting to the normal mode, press the NIGHT PANEL but- ton.
