Speedometer
The speedometer indicates vehicle speed.
Tachometer
The tachometer indicates engine speed in
revolutions per minute.
Fuel Gauge
79MH0225
When the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position or the ignition mode is “ON”, this
gauge gives an approximate indication of
the amount of fuel in the fuel tank. “F”
stands for full and “E” stands for empty.
If the indicator gets off the graduation of
“E” (not character “E”), refill the tank as
soon as possible.
NOTE:
The indicator moves a little depending on
road conditions (for example, slope or
curve) and driving conditions because of
fuel moving in the tank.
If the low fuel warning light (1) comes on,
fill the fuel tank immediately.
Refer to “Low Fuel Warning Light” in
“Warning and Indicator Lights” in this sec-
tion for details.
The mark (2) indicates that the fuel filler
door is located on the left side of the vehi-
cle.
Temperature Gauge
79MH0226
When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position
or the ignition mode is “ON”, this gauge indi-
cates the engine coolant temperature. Under
normal driving conditions, the indicator should
stay within the normal, acceptable temperature
range between “H” and “C”. If the indicator
approaches “H”, overheating is indicated. Fol-
low the instructions for engine overheating in
the “EMERGENCY SERVICE” section.
NOTICE
Never drive the vehicle with the
engine revving in the red zone or
severe engine damage can result.
Keep the engine speed below the red
zone even when downshifting to a
lower gear position.
Refer to “Downshifting maximum
allowable speeds” in the “OPERAT-
ING YOUR VEHICLE” section.
