SPEEDOMETER fig. 12
This shows the speed of the vehicle.REV COUNTER fig. 13
The rev counter shows the number of en-
gine revolutions per minute.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection
control system gradually shuts off the flow
of fuel when the engine is over-revving, re-
sulting in a gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden increase
of the rate.
This is normal and does not indicate a fault.
It may be caused, for example, by the op-
eration of the climate control system or
fan. In these cases, a slow change in revs
is used to protect the battery charge.
