SPEEDOMETER fig. 10
It shows the engine speed.
REV. COUNTER fig. 11/a
Rev counter shows engine rpm.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection con-
trol 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 higher-
ing of the speed.
This is normal and takes place for exam-
ple when activating the climate control
system or the fan. In these events a slight
increase in engine idling preserves the bat-
tery charge.

The reserve warning light Kturns on to
indicate that approximately 7 litres of fu-
el are left in the tank.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost
empty: the gaps in fuel delivery could dam-
age the catalyst.ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE GAUGE C-fig.
11/b
This shows the temperature of the engine
coolant fluid and begins working when the
fluid temperature exceeds approx. 50°C.

withstand common wear re-
sulting from normal use of the
vehicle. It is however absolutely neces-
sary to prevent hard and/or prolonged
scratching/scraping caused by clothing
accessories like metallic buckles, studs,
“Velcro” fixings, etc. that stressing lo-
cally the fabric could break yarns and

into operation by cutting off fuel and turn-
ing off the engine as a consequence.
Fuel cut-off switch activation is indicated
by a dedicated message on the reconfig-
urable multifunction display.If, after a crash, you smell fu-
el or see leaks from the fuel
system, do not reset the switch to
avoid fire risk.
