TACHOMETERGUID-99415CE2-80BA-446B-B533-FCDC235E1C98The tachometer indicates engine speed in
revolutions per minute (RPM) .Do not rev the
engine into the red zone
*1.
CAUTION
When engine speed approaches the red
zone, shift to a higher gear or reduce
engine speed. Operating the engine in
the red zone may cause serious engine
damage.
SIC4123
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
GUID-C73EC948-0469-4173-9F6A-45E4677E8586The gauge*1indicates the engine coolant
temperature.
The engine coolant temperature is within the
normal range when the gauge is within the zone
*2shown in the illustration.
The engine coolant temperature varies with the
outside air temperature and driving conditions.
CAUTION
If the gauge indicates engine coolant
temperature near the hot (H) end of the normal range, reduce vehicle speed to
decrease temperature. If gauge is over
the normal range, stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible. If the engine is
overheated, continued operation of the
vehicle may seriously damage the en-
gine. See “If your vehicle overheats”
(P.6-12) for immediate action required.
