INSTRUMENT PANEL

WARNING 'TELL TALE' LAMPS
The positions of the tell tales on '08 cars differs from that shown
on page 48. See new layout in illustration above. The symbols
and functionality are unchanged apart from those described in
this supplement.

Security Tell Tale

The security function is separated from the combined security/
rpm tell tale and is moved into the face of the speedometer.

High RPM Tell Tales

Three red tell tales are incorporated into the tachometer face
to warn that maximum engine speed is being approached. Maxi-
mum transient engine speed in all gears is 8,500 rpm (at normal
running temperature), at which point the engine is governed,
but as the rate of rpm increase is potentially greater in the lower
gears, the tell tale trigger points are tailored to accommodate the
reaction time available. As maximum rpm is approached, the tell
tales will light in the following left to right sequence:
- one red light
- two red lights
- three rapidly flashing lights
When exploiting maximum acceleration, gearchange upshifts
should be made immediately the three flashing lights appear.
