(e.g. sound system, central door lock-
ing system, etc.) may work.
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices work regularly.
❒AVV: engine starting (unstable posi-
tion).

INSTRUMENTS
SPEEDOMETER Fig. 22
Indicates the car’s speed.
REV. COUNTER Fig. 23
This indicates the engine revolution per
minute.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection
control system gradually shuts off the flow
of fuel when the engine is ‘over-revving’
resulting in a gradual loss of engine pow-
er.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden increase
of the speed.
This is normal and does not indicate a
fault. It may be caused, for example, by the
operation of the climate control system
or fan. In these case, a slow change in en-
gine speed is used to protect the battery
charge.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE Fig. 24
The instrument shows the litres of fuel
contained in the tank (see the “Refuelling”
paragraph for a description).
