about 30 seconds after you switch off
the ignition or open the driver's door.

lo.ol

Rev counter
The rev counter indicates the number of en-
gine revolutions per minute.
It's a good idea to keep an eye on the rev
counter and gear-change indicator because
you can minimise engine wear by driving at
moderate engine speeds.
The start of the red zone on the dial indicates
the maximum engine speed which may be
used briefly in all gears when the engine is
warm and after it has been run in properly.
However, it is advisable to change up a gear
(on vehicles with manual gearbox) or move
the selector lever to "D" (on vehicles with au-
tomatic gearbox) or lift your foot off the ac-
celerator before the needle reaches the red
zone.
In general it is best to avoid high engine
speeds and to follow the recommendations
g iven by the gear-change indicator. For fur-
ther information please refer
to ~
page 12,
Gear-change indicator or
Q
page 31, Ad-
vanced gear-change indicator.

CAUTION
The rev counter needle (!)

engine damage.

For the sake of the environment
Changing up a gear early will help you to
