The tachometer indicates the approxi -
mate number of engine revolutions per
minute (rpm).
Use the tachometer to select the correct
shift points and to prevent lugging and/
or over-revving the engine.

Do not operate the engine within the
tachometer's RED ZONE. This may cause
severe engine damage.
Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge
This gauge indicates the temperature of
the engine coolant when the ignition
switch or the ENGINE START/STOP but
-
ton is ON.
CAUTION
If the gauge pointer moves beyond the
normal range area (between the C-H)
toward the “H” position, it indicates over
-
heating that may damage the engine.
Do not continue driving with an over
-
heated engine. If your vehicle overheats,
refer to "If the engine overheats" on
page 6-7.

pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel
warning light may come on earlier
