Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in rev-
olutions per minute (RP/11).
The
beginning
of the red zone in the tachometer
indicates the maximum
permitted
engine speed
for all gears once the engine has been broken in
and when it is warm. You should select the "D/
S" (Drive) selector lever position or take your foot
off the accelerator pedal before reaching this
area.
It is best to avoid high engine speeds, even when
driving in tiptronic mode

eter can be displayed in the driver information
system
