REV. COUNTER fig. 13
Rev counter shows 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 highering of the speed.
This is normal as it takes place dur-
ing normal operation, for example
when activating the climate control
system or the fan. In particular a slow
change in the speed preserves the bat-
tery charge.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE fig. 14-15
This shows the amount of fuel left in
the fuel tank.
The reserve warning light
K
turns on
to indicate that approx. 6/7 litres of
fuel are left in the tank (see the indi-
cations given in paragraph “At the
filling station").
Do not travel with the fuel tank al-
most empty: the gaps in fuel delivery
could damage the catalyst.
