but as the rate of engine speed increase is potentially greater
in the lower gears, the tell tale trigger points are tailored to ac-
commodate the reaction time available. The tell tales will light
in the following left to right sequence:
- one red light;
- two red lights;
- three rapidly flashing lights with an audible warning.
When exploiting maximum acceleration, gear upshifts should
be made immediately the three flashing lights appear.
NOTICE
• The use of wide throttle openings and/or high rpm before
normal running temperature has been reached should be
avoided. The engine management system graduates the
maximum engine speed for a cold engine, in order to reduce
possible damage and wear from a delinquent driving style.
• Do not run the engine continuously at its maximum speed.
• The engine is not protected from overspeeding caused by er-
roneous or premature downchanging, the consequences of
which could be catastrophic failure not covered by the New
Vehicle Warranty.
• Use of maximum engine speed and this tell tale facility should
be restricted to occasions when maximum acceleration is
required. Overuse will compromise powertrain service life.

A vehicle total distance travelled indicator, in miles or kilom-
eters, dependent on market, is displayed at the centre top of the
instrument panel whenever the ignition key is inserted. See later
