Analogue pressure gauge
for turbocharger pressure
The car is equipped with a pressure gauge
for measuring the turbocharger pressure
by means of the analogue indicator A.
Note The turbocharger supercharging
pressure reading on the pressure gauge
should never exceed 1 – 1.2 bar even in
the case of sporty driving and maximum
performance.
A warning light B in the pressure gauge
signals the ideal time to change gear.
The gear change indication (arrow point-
ing upwards and words SHIFT UP) displays
a suggestion to change up to a higher gear.
With the ignition in the MAR position, the
gear change indication lights up and goes
out together with the instrument panel
warning lights. Afterwards, the letter N
and the words SHIFT UP light up each
time there is a suggestion to change to a
higher gear.
Note The light signalled provided by the
instrument depends on the driving mode
selected.
With the SPORT mode on, the signalling
is only activated at the maximum speed
and therefore less frequently.
With the NORMAL mode activated, the
signalling is affected by driving economy
and therefore may be less frequent, at low
speeds as well.
