gation system, you will find more

tem.

perature is displayed.

If the outside temperature falls below
approx. 37

puter automatically switches to the outside
temperature display.

and the display flashes for a short time.

The ice warning does not exclude the
possibility that surface ice can form

line of the navigation system, refer to the

signal indicator lever to switch the display

on the available fuel. The amount of fuel
remaining in the tank is measured, and the

over the last 20 miles / 30 km.

If the range displayed is less than
35 miles / 50 km, be sure to refuel;

otherwise engine functions are not guaran-
teed and damage could occur.
