Vehicles with a manual gearbox: It is advisable to change up a gear or lift your foot off the accelerator before the needle reaches the
red zone.
Vehicles with an automatic gearbox: You should change to the next higher position, engage selector lever position D/S or lift your foot
off the accelerator before the needle reaches the red zone.
NOTICE
The needle on the rev counter should only briefly point into the red area, as engine damage may otherwise be incurred. Heavy loads
on the engine, particularly when the engine is cold, can cause engine damage.
● When the engine is cold, avoid high engine speeds, strong acceleration and high engine loads.
Changing up a gear early will help to save fuel and reduce engine noise.
