Tachometer
NOTICE:
• The use of wide throttle openings and/or high rpm before
normal running temperature has been reached will result
in premature wear and should be avoided.
• Do not run the engine continuously at its maximum speed,
or allow overspeeding to occur on the overrun by downshift-
ing prematurely, as the high engine loads imposed could
result in catastrophic failure.
A red tell tale lamp in the top of the tachometer face lights at
high rpm (dependent on gear engaged) to warn that maximum
engine speed is being approached. When exploiting full accel-
eration, gearchange upshifts should be made immediately the
tell tale comes on.
Note that this lamp also functions as a security system tell
tale (see 'Security Alarm').
Recalibration of the speedo and tacho needle zero positions
will occur during a 3 second period following ignition switch on,
but if a needle becomes 'stranded' outside of the re-calibration
range, the following procedure should be followed:
With the car stationary;
• Remove fuse C3 (page 143);
• Open driver's door;
• Press and hold trip reset button on steering column
shroud;
• Turn on ignition;
• Turn off ignition and refit fuse C3.
