INSTRUMENTS
IMPORTANT After stopping the
engine (turning the key to STOP ), the
speedometer and the rev counter are
re-calibrated for approximately one
second. During this time, the speedome-
ter and rev counter needles will hover
and a slight ticking sound may be
heard.
SPEEDOMETER (fig. 52)
The speedometer shows the car
speed expressed in kilometres per
hour (km/h).
IMPORTANT The speedometer
may present different full scale values
according to the versions.
REV COUNTER (fig. 53-54)
If the needle is in the hazard sector
(the section with the progressively
closer lines) it shows your car’s engine
is over-revving. Do not travel with the
needle in this sector.
When the engine is idling, the rev
counter may show a gradual or sud-
den increase in engine speed, accord-
ing to the case. This is normal and in-
dicates the operation of the climate
control compressor or fans, etc. In
particular, a gradual variation in en-
gine revolution speed safeguards bat-
tery charge.
IMPORTANT The hazard sectors
can present different widths and dif-
ferent full scale values according to
the various car versions.
IMPORTANT The electronic injec-
tion control system will progressively
cut off the flow of fuel when the en-
gine is over-revving and the engine
will consequently lose power.
