INSTRUMENTS

REV. COUNTER

Rev counter shows engine rpm. The dan-
ger zone (red) indicates excessive high
engine revs. Do not drive for long peri-
ods with the pointer in this area.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection
control system gradually shuts off the
flow of fuel when the engine is "over-
revving" (rev counter pointer in red
area) resulting in a gradual loss of en-
gine power, in order to bring back rpm
below the safety limit.

The rev counter may, when the engine is
idling, indicate gradual or sudden increase
of engine revs as the case may be; such
behaviour is normal and must not be in-
terpreted as a faulty condition as it occurs
during normal operation, for instance when
climate control or electric fan are switched
on. In particular, slow revs variation helps
keep the battery charged.
FUEL GAUGE fig. 15
The pointer shows the amount of fuel
left in the tank.
0 - tank empty.
1 - tank full (see the indications given
in paragraph "At the filling station").
The fuel gauge warning light turns on to
A0F00177m
indicate that approx. 10 litres of fuel are
left in the tank. When range falls below
50 km (or 31 mi) the display will show
a dedicated warning message.
If warning light K starts
flashing when travel-
ling, contact Alfa Romeo
