Tachometer
The tachometer indicates the approxi‐
mate number of engine revolutions per
minute (rpm).
Use the tachometer to select the cor‐
rect shift points and to prevent lugging
and/or over-revving the engine.
CAUTION
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 Engine Start/Stop button is
ON.
CAUTION
If the gauge pointer moves beyond
the normal range area toward the
“130” position, it indicates overheat‐
ing that may damage the engine.
Do not continue driving with an over‐
heated engine. If your vehicle over‐
heats, refer to “If the Engine Over‐
heats” on page 7-07.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap when
the engine is hot. The engine coolant
is under pressure and could severely
burn. Wait until the engine is cool be‐
fore adding coolant to the reservoir.
