To prevent damage to the engine and its components

Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red zone, which indi-
cates the maximum engine speed.

The engine may be overheating if the engine coolant temperature gauge is in the
red zone (H). In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place, and check
the engine after it has cooled completely. (
