INSTRUMENTS
SPEEDOMETER
Speed indicator.
REV. COUNTER
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 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 during normal operation, for example
when activating the climate control system or the fan. In particular a slow
change in the speed preserves the battery charge.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
This shows the amount of fuel left in the fuel tank (see the indications
given in paragraph “At the filling station").
The reserve warning light (A) turns on to indicate that approx.
6 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 catalyst.
