leaving the steering wheel (figure 11). To
bring the wiper motor in motion, operate the
switch of this unit, fitted to the door beside the
instrument panel (figure 12), and finally let us
mention the seat adjustment procedure.
Having removed the covering board below
the seat, you may slacken the two hexagon
screws and adapt the seat to your
requirements (figure 13). For the other
controls and instruments see “Where Is
What” on page 9.
As to the running-in (breaking-in) of the new
vehicle we refer to the chapter "Some more
explications", page 5, and to the scheme
"Recommended speeds", page 7. These
indicate you the maximum cruising speeds for
the individual gears you should not exceed
during the first running-in period up to 1000
kilometers (600 miles), during the second
running-in period from 1000km to 3000km
(2000 miles) and after the first 3000
kilometers. The running-in speeds are also
shown on the transfer picture fixed to the
windshield of your Isetta. When observing
these speed limits you will in any case avoid
to over-reving your engine.
The red markings on the speedometer dial
show the cruising speeds for first, second and
third. In the fourth gear, the speed range
available within the red-colored section
should be used for short moments only, for
instant to pass other vehicles. A
supplementary spring of the accelerator pedal
facilitates this driving method: You will feel a
slight resistance as soon as the permissible
cruising speed is attained for the gear in
question.
The Motocoupe BMW-lsetta has a wealth of
other fine features. The ventilation of the
interior, for instance, is regulated by means of
the two sliding windows, which have stop-
spring catches to prevent opening from
outside while the vehicle is parked. To open a
window press the button of the locking device
and simultaneously push the window to the
desired position (figure 14). With fair
weather, and the folding roof being opened,
the all round glass paneling provides the
sensation of an open air drive. The folding
roof is opened by
