7Instruments and controls
Speedometer, odometer and trip
meter
The speedometer indicates road speed on
the primary scale in miles per hour. A sec-
ondary scale in orange indicates kilometers
per hour. The odometer records the dis-
tance
in
miles, and lhe trip meter
in
miles
and tenths.
The reset button for the trip meter is located
in
the lower section of the meter. Push to
reset.
Pressure
gauge,
Turbo
The pressure gauge indicates the charging
pressure
in
Ihe inlet manifold. At lowengine
loads and during engine deceleration, a
vacuum will be present in the manifold.
In
such cases, movement of the needle will be
within the white zone.
At
increased loads or
engine speeds, the turbo compressor will
increase the charging pressure in the inlet
manifold.
In
this case, the needle will
move
into the orange zone.
The charging pressure will not normally be
high enough
to
cause the needle to enter
the red zone, since the engine is equipped
with a charging pressure regulator (waste-
gate). However, under full load and with
sufficiently high fuel octane, the needle may
briefly enter the red zone. There is also an
overpressure safety switch
10
protect
against excessive pressure which could
damage the engine.
Tachometer and clock
The tachometer indicates the speed of the
engine in thousands of revolutions per
minute. The RPM range for economical op-
eration is indicated
in
green on the tachom-
eter. Driving within this range aids in
achieving best possible fuel economy. The
needle should only be allowed to enter the
broken red zone for brief periods. It must
never enter the red zone. A safety device
limits engine speed
to
approximately 6000
rpm.
Warning and indicator
lights
All of the waming lights and some of the
in"
dicator lights will come
on
as the ignition
switch
is
turned to start the vehicle. The
lights should then all extinguish within a few
moments afterthe engine hasbeen started.

This light will glow when the headlights are
switched to high beam.
