Tachometer Fig. 18

The tachometer shows the engine speed in revolutions per minute.

On diesel versions, the full-scale reading of the tachometer is 6000 rpm.

Note: the electronic injection control progressively cuts off the fuel supply if the engine is "over-revved", resulting in a progressive loss of power.

When the engine is idling, the tachometer may show a gradual or sudden increase in speed. This behavior is not unusual, as it occurs during normal operation, e.g. when switching on the air conditioning or the electric fan.

A slow change in engine speed in these cases mainly serves to maintain the battery's state of charge.
