Rev counter
The rev counter displays the engine speed in revolutions per
minute.
The start of the red zone ⇒ Fig. 30 1
indicates the maximum engine speed
operating at service temperature. However, it is advisable to change up into
a higher gear, move the selector lever to D or lift your foot off the accelerator
before the needle reaches the red zone.
CAUTION
To prevent possible engine malfunctions, the rev counter needle should not
reach the red zone. The start of the red zone on the dial is different for some
engine versions.
For the sake of the environment
Changing up into higher gears sooner, following the recommended gear in-
dications ⇒ Fig. 33 will help you to reduce fuel consumption, emissions and
also engine noise. 
Speedometer
The speedometer is equipped with a digital odometer and a trip recorder, in
addition to a service intervals display.
During the running-in period, the instructions shown on ⇒ page 173

The LPG tank ⇒ 
in the spare wheel well has a capacity of 52.8 litres at an
outside temperature of 15°C ⇒ page 196, Refuelling with LPG.
The charge level can be checked on the analogue gas gauge located on the

If, while driving in LPG mode, a sudden audible warning is heard and the
warning ERROR FUNC_ A GAS is displayed on the screen 1)

there is a fault in the LPG system. Take the vehicle to a specialised work-
shop to check the LPG system. 
