Gauges 
Gauges include the speedomet
er, tachometer, fuel gauge, temperature gauge, High 
Voltage battery charge level gauge,  ASSIST/CHARGE gauge, SH-AWD ® 
temperature gauge, and related indicato rs. They are displayed when the power 
mode is in ON. 
Displays your driving speed in mph or km/h. 
Shows the number of engine revolutions per minute.
■ Engine speed red-zone indication
Alerts you when the engi ne speed is near the tachometer’s red zone.
When the engine speed exceeds 7,000 rpm,  the outer ring of the tachometer flashes 
in red. 
To protect the engine from damage, never dr ive with the tachometer in its red zone.
Displays the amount of fuel left in the fuel tank.

Shows the remaining High Voltage battery charge level. ■ Electric motor
The degree to which the electric motor is  being powered is displayed by the readings 
on the  ASSIST  side.
■ Battery charge in progress
The degree to which the High Voltage battery is being charged is displayed by the  readings on the  CHARGE side.
■Temperature Gauge

■ASSIST/CHARGE Gauge
1Temperature Gauge 
Driving with the temperat ure gauge pointer in the 
upper zone can cause serious  engine damage. Pull 
safely to the side of th e road and allow engine 
temperature to return to normal. 2 Overheating  P. 450
1High Voltage Battery Charge Level Gauge 
The High Voltage battery ch arge level may decrease 
under the following conditions: • When the 12-volt battery has been replaced.
• When the 12-volt battery has been disconnected.
• When the High Voltage battery control system  
corrects its reading.
The charge level readi ng will be corrected 
automatically while driving. 
Changes in the temperature of the High Voltage  
battery can increase or  decrease the battery’s 
charging capacity. If temp erature changes cause the 
battery’s capacity to  change, the number of 
indicators in the battery ch arge level gauge may also 
change, even if the amount of charging remains the  
same.
