INSTRUMENTS
The instrument background colour and type may vary
according to the versions.
SPEEDOMETER fig. 11
This shows the speed of the vehicle.
REV COUNTER fig. 12
The rev counter shows the engine rpm.
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
power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter may indicate
a gradual or sudden increase of the speed. This behaviour is standard as it takes place during the
activation of the climate control system or the fan.
It should not be considered as a fault. In these cases,
a slow change in revs is used to protect the battery
charge.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE fig. 13
The needle shows the amount of fuel left in the fuel
tank.
E tank empty
F tank full
The reserve warning light A comes on to indicate that
approximately 7 litres of fuel are left in the tank.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost empty: the gaps
in fuel delivery could damage the catalytic converter.
