speed to increase air pressure, then drive off.

(5) Engine tachometer
The tachometer indicates the engine speed in revo-
lutions per minute(rpm) and red colored zone repre-
sents critical engine speed.
Excessively high engine rpm(red colored zone) may
cause damage to the engine. To drive economically,
keep the engine within 1,000-2,000(1,000-1,700:for
DDC engine) rpm.
Maximum allowable engine speed:
DE12TI Engine : 2,100 rpm
DE12TIS Engine : 2,100 rpm
DV15T Engine : 2,300 rpm
MTA0090 MTA0091
DV15TI Engine : 2,100 rpm
DV15TIS Engine : 2,100 rpm
DDC Engine : 1,800 rpm
