D - Rev counter

The danger zone (red) indicates exces-

sively high engine revs. Do not drive for

long periods with the pointer in this area.

With the engine at idle speed, the rev

counter may indicate a gradual or sudden

speed increase depending on the cases;

this is normal as it occurs in the normal

operation, for example when the climate

control compressor is engaged or the fan.

In particular a slow change in speed helps

preserve the battery charge.

IMPORTANT Depending on the ver-

sions/markets of the car, the rev counter

may have danger sectors (red) of differ-

ent size and with different top of scale

values.

IMPORTANT The electronic ignition

control system gradually shuts off the

flow of fuel when the engine is “over-

revving” resulting in a gradual loss of en-

gine power.

Moving the ignition key to MAR the

following warning lights and displays turn

on and go out after approx. 6 seconds:

1 - Light failure

2 - Low brake fluid and/or handbrake

engaged

3 - Front brake pad wear

4 - Low engine oil level

5 - Fuel reserve

6 - Maximum engine coolant fluid tem-

perature

7 - Mileage recorder display

Any faults are signalled by the turning

on of the corresponding warning light for

approx. 15 seconds after the end of the

check.

2) Doors and boot open warning.

With the ignition key at MAR, if a led

of the car symbol (10) lights up, the cor-

responding door or the boot has not been

shut properly.

To repeat the check, with the ignition

key in the MAR position and the engine

off, press the button (A-fig. 84).
