Pressure Gauge, 900 Turbo
The pressure gauge indicates the charging
pressure in the inlet manifold. At low engine
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 regu·
lator (wastegate) which controls the charging
pressure. (There also is an overpressure safety
switCh.)
SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER
AND TRIP METER
The odometer records the distanc e in miles,
and the
trip meter in m il es and tenths.
The reset
button for the tr ip meter is located in
the lower section of the meter. Push to reset.
