Engine revolutions counter
The tachometer
1
» Fig. 30 on page 38 shows the actual engine speed per
minute.
The beginning of the tachometer red scale range indicates the maximum per-
mitted speed for an engine that has been driven-in and has reached operating
temperature.
You should shift into the next highest gear before the red scale of the revolu-
tion counter is reached, or select mode D/S on the automatic gearbox.
The gear recommendation is important to note in order to maintain the opti-
mum engine speed » page 49 .
CAUTION
The pointer of the engine revolutions counter must reach the red area for only
a short time - there is a risk of engine damage!
