● In v
ehicles with the LongLife system in
which the batt
ery has been disconnected for
a long period of time, it is not possible to cal-
culate the date of the next service. Therefore the service interval display may not be cor-
rect
. In thi
s case, bear in mind the maximum
service intervals permitted in the ››› Booklet
Maintenance Programme.
● If you reset the display manually, the next
servic
e interval will be indicated as in vehi-

Operation
WARNING
Any distraction may lead to an accident, with
the risk of
injury.
● Do not operate the instrument panel con-
trol
s when driving. CAUTION
● When the engine i s
cold, avoid high revs
and heavy acceleration and do not make the
engine work hard. Revolution counter
The rev counter indicates the number of en-
gine r
ev
o
lutions per minute ›››
Fig. 125 1 .
T og
ether w
ith the gear-change indicator, the
rev counter offers you the possibility of using
the engine of your vehicle at a suitable
speed.
The start of the red zone on the dial indicates
the maximum engine speed which may be
used briefly when the engine is warm and af-
ter it has been run in properly. Before reach-
ing this range, you should change to a higher
gear for vehicles with a manual gearbox or for
automatic gearboxes put the selector lever in
“D” or take your foot off the accelerator ped-
al.
We recommend that you avoid high revs and
that you follow the recommendations on the gear-change indicator. Consult the additional
information in
›
›› page 41, Gear-change
indicator. CAUTION
Never allow the rev counter needle 1 ›››
Fig. 125 to g o int
o the red zone on the
scale for more than a very brief period, other-
wise there is a risk of engine damage. For the sake of the environment
Changing up a gear early will help you to save
fuel and minimi
se emissions and engine
noise. Indications on the display
