REV COUNTER fig. 5
The indicator Bshows the engine rev
number.
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 reg-
ular 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.INSTRUMENTS
