&Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle speed. & Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine speed
in thousands of revolutions per minute.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine with the
pointer of the tachometer in the red
zone. In this range, fuel injection will
be cut by the engine control module
to protect the engine from overrev-
ving. The engine will resume run-
ning normally after the engine speed
is reduced below the red zone. &
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge shows the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
When the ignition switch is in the “LOCK ”
or “ACC ”position, the fuel gauge shows
“ E ”even if the fuel tank contains fuel.
The gauge may move slightly during
braking, turning or acceleration due to fuel
level movement in the tank.
If you press the trip knob while the ignition
switch is in the “LOCK ”position, the fuel
gauge ’s dial, needle, and rim will light up
and the needle will indicate the amount of
fuel remaining in the tank.
If, while the fuel gauge needle is indicating
the amount of fuel remaining in the tank,
you (a) do not press the trip knob for 10
seconds or (b) open and close the driver ’s door, the fuel gauge needle will drop to the“
E ” position and the dial, needle, and rim
will go off.
The rim of the fuel gauge flashes five
times when the amount of remaining fuel
reaches 2.6 US gal (10 liters, 2.2 lmp gal).
If you turn the ignition switch to the “ LOCK ”position and back to the “ON ”
position, the rim will again flash five times.
