Revolutions counter

Read and observe on page 24 first.
The tachometer » fig. 12 on page 24 shows the actual engine speed per mi-
1
nute.
The beginning of the red scale range of the tachometer indicates the maxi-
mum permitted engine speed of a driven-in and operating warm engine.
You should shift into the next higher gear before the red scale of the revolu-
tion counter is reached, or select mode D on the automatic gearbox.
The gear recommendation is important to note in order to maintain the opti-
mum engine speed » page 30.
CAUTION
The pointer of the tachometer must reach the red area for only a short time -
there is a risk of engine damage!
