Rev counter
The rev counter indicates the number of engine revolutions
per minute.You should select a lower gear if the engine speed drops below 1500 rpm.
The start of the red zone on the dial indicates the maximum engine speed
which may be used when the engine is warm and after it has been run in prop-
erly. However, it is advisable to change up a gear or lift your foot off the accel-
erator before the needle reaches the red zone.
Caution
The rev. counter needle ⇒fig. 39 must only reach the red zone for a short
period, otherwise the engine could be damaged. The start of the red zone on
the dial is different for some engine versions.
For the sake of the environment
Changing up a gear early will help y ou to save fuel and minimise engine
noise.Digital clock and date
Your vehicle is equipped with a quartz clock.The time and date are set using the and buttons.
Setting the hour

94Plastic key tab
Spare keys cannot be issued without the key number on the plastic key tab.
Therefore:•
Always keep the key tab in a safe place.
•
Never leave the key tab in the vehicle.
•
If you sell the vehicle, please give the plastic key tab to the new owner.
Replacing a key
If you lose a key, please contact the Technical Service. Have the remote
control coding for that key disabled. You should therefore bring the plastic
key tab and all available keys with you. It is also important to notify your
insurance company if a key or the plastic key tab has been lost.
WARNING
•
Always take the key with you when leaving the vehicle, even if you only
intend to be gone for a short time. This is particularly important if there are
children in the car, as they might otherwise be able to start the engine or
use power-operated equipment (e.g. the electric windows), which could
lead to injuries.
•
Wait for the vehicle to come to a standstill before removing the ignition
key from the lock! Otherwise, the steering lock could engage suddenly,
causing an accident.
