Tachometer and clock
The tachometer indicates the speed of the
engine in thousands of revolutions per
minute. The RPM range for economical
operation is indicated on the tachometer.
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, which
interrupts current to the fuel pump at 6000
rpm, is installed on the Turbo.
