REV. COUNTER fig. 26
Engine rpm indicator.
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 higher-
ing of the speed.
This is normal as it takes place during nor-
mal operation, for example when activat-
ing the climate control system or the fan.
In particular a slow change in the speed
preserves the battery charge.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE fig. 27
This shows the amount of fuel left in the
fuel tank (see the indications given in para-
graph “At the filling station").
