INSTRUMENTS
Instrument background colour and type
may vary according to the version.
SPEEDOMETER fig. 11
It shows the car speed.REV. COUNTER fig. 12
Rev counter shows engine rpm.
IMPORTANT The electronic inje ction
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.
