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

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.
