Any faults are signalled by the turning
on of the corresponding warning light for
approx. 15 seconds after the end of the
check.
D - Rev counter
E - Fuel gauge and reserve
warning light
The danger zone (red) indicates exces-
sively high engine revs. Do not drive for
long periods with the pointer in this area.
This shows the amount of fuel left in
the fuel tank.
2)
Doors and boot open warning.
With the engine at idle speed, the rev
counter may indicate a gradual or sudden
speed increase depending on the cases;
this is normal as it occurs in the normal
operation, for example when the climate
control compressor is engaged or the fan.
In particular a slow change in speed helps
preserve the battery charge.
This warning light comes on to indicate
that about 9 litres of fuel are left in the
tank.
With the ignition key at MAR, if a led
of the car symbol (10) lights up, the cor-
responding door or the boot has not been
shut properly.
IMPORTANT Under certain condi-
tions (heavy slopes, for instance) the
reading on the gauge may differ from the
actual amount of fuel in the tank and
changes in level may be indicated late.
To repeat the check, with the ignition
key in the MAR position and the engine
off, press the button (A-fig. 86 ).
IMPORTANT Depending on the ver-
sions/markets of the car, the rev counter
may have danger sectors (red) of differ-
ent size and with different top of scale
values.
This is part of the operating logic of the
electronic control circuit to avoid highly
unstable readings due to swaying of the
fuel when travelling.
IMPORTANT The electronic ignition
control system gradually shuts off the
flow of fuel when the engine is “over-
revving” resulting in a gradual loss of en-
gine power.
