Tachometer

Description

Tachometer
The tachometer is electronically operated and is driven by CAN messages from the ECM. The ECM output is derived from the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor. Loss of the CAN message will cause the tachometer to read zero until the engine speed message is restored.

Petrol models have a maximum tachometer scale reading of 8000 rev/min and diesel models have a maximum scale reading of 6000 rev/min.

The tachometer scale has a red segment which denotes the maximum engine speed for the model. The engine must not be operated beyond the start of the red segment. The maximum engine speed for the models is as follows:
^ Petrol models - 6500 rev/min.
^ Diesel models - 4500 rev/min.

Three warning lamps are located in the lower part of the tachometer face; Cruise control, Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) and handbrake and brake warning lamp.
