GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS
27
NOTICE:
Do not remove the thermostat in the engine cooling
system as this may cause the engine to overheat. The
thermostat is designed to control the flow of coolant
to keep the temperature of the engine within the
specified operating range.
Do not continue driving with an overheated engine.
See “if your vehicle overheats” on page 134.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in thousands of
rpm (revolutions per minute). Use it while driving to
prevent engine overrevving.Driving with the engine running too fast causes excessive
engine wear and poor fuel economy. Remember, in most
cases the slower the engine speed, the greater the fuel
economy.
NOTICE:
Do not let the indicator needle get into the red zone. This
may cause severe engine damage.
ODOMETER AND TRIP METER
This meter displays the odometer and two trip meters. To
change the mode indication, push the “ODO / TRIP”
button. Each time you push the button, the mode changes
in order from the odometer to trip meter A to trip meter B,
then back to the odometer, etc.
