Tachometer
This gage indicates the engine speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm).
Notice: If you operate the engine with the
tachometer in the shaded warning area, your
vehicle could be damaged, and the damages would
not be covered by your warranty. Do not operate
the engine with the tachometer in the shaded
warning area.
Engine Speed Limiter
This feature prevents the engine from operating at
too many revolutions per minute (rpm). When the
engine’s rpms are too high, the throttle is closed to
reduce speed. If this is not sufficient, then the fuel
supply to the engine will be limited. When the rpms
return to normal, the fuel supply will return to normal.
This helps prevent damage to the engine.
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to ON or START, a chime will
come on for several seconds to remind people to fasten
their safety belts, unless the driver’s safety belt is
already buckled.
The safety belt light will
also come on and stay
on for several seconds,
then it will flash for
several more.
If the driver’s belt is already buckled, neither the chime
nor the light will come on.
