Operation
Revolution counter The rev counter indicates the number of en-
gine r
e
volutions per minute.
Together with the gear-change indicator, the
rev counter offers you the possibility of using
the engine of your vehicle at a suitable
speed.
The beginning of the red zone of the rev
counter indicates the maximum speed in any
gear after running-in and with the engine hot.
However, it is advisable to change up a gear
or move the selector lever to D (or lift your
foot off the accelerator) before the needle
reaches the red zone ››› .
W e r

ecommend that you avoid high revs and
that you follow the recommendations on the
gear-change indicator. Consult the addition-
al information in ››› page 205, Selecting the
optimal gear. CAUTION

Operation
Things to note
If the v ehicl
e is left parked for a long time im-
mediately after refuelling, the natural gas lev-
el indicator may not accurately indicate the
same level shown after refuelling when the
vehicle is started up again. This is not due to a
leak in the system, but to a drop in pressure in
the gas tank for technical reasons after a
cooling phase just after refuelling. Note
In vehicles with natural gas engines, the
petr ol t

ank fuel level gauge may display
the refuelled amount with a slight delay
(depending on the refuelled amount). Engine coolant temperature indica-
