You should select a lower gear if the engine speed drops below 1500 rpm.
The start of the red zone on the dial indicates the maximum engine speed
which may be used when the engine is warm and after it has been run in
properly. Before reaching this zone, a higher gear must be selected or your
foot must be removed from the accelerator.
CAUTION
The rev counter needle ⇒ fig. 39 must only reach the red zone for a short
period, otherwise the engine could be damaged. The start of the red zone
on the dial is different for some engine versions.
For the sake of the environment
Changing up into higher gears sooner following the recommended gear in-
dications ⇒ fig. 50 will help you to reduce fuel consumption, emissions and
also engine noise.
