Rev counter
The rev. counter displays the engine speed in revolutions per
minute.
If, for example, the needle is directly over the 2, this corresponds to an engine
speed of 2000 rpm (revolutions per minute)
The start of the red zone on the dial indicates the maximum engine speed
which may be used briefly when the engine is warm and after it has been run
in properly. However, it is advisable to change up a gear or move the selector
lever to D (or lift your foot off the accelerator) before the needle reaches the
red zone.
Caution
The rev counter needle must never enter the red zone on the scale. Risk of
engine damage.
For the sake of the environment
Changing up a gear early will help you to save fuel and minimise engine
noise.
