SPEEDOMETER fig. 10
It shows the engine speed.
REV. COUNTER fig. 11/a
Rev counter shows engine rpm.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection con-
trol system gradually shuts off the flow of
fuel when the engine is “over-revving” re-
sulting in a gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden higher-
ing of the speed.
This is normal and takes place for exam-
ple when activating the climate control
system or the fan. In these events a slight
increase in engine idling preserves the bat-
tery charge.
