Speedometer
57L21057
The speedometer indicates vehicle speed
in km/h and mph.
Tachometer
57L21058
The tachometer indicates engine speed in
revolutions per minute.
Fuel Gauge
57L21059
When you press the engine switch to
change the ignition mode to “ON”, this
gauge gives an approximate indication of
the amount of fuel in the fuel tank. “F”
stands for full and “E” stands for empty.
If the indicator gets off the graduation of
“E” (not character “E”), refill the tank as
soon as possible.
NOTE:
The indicator moves a little depending on
road conditions (for example, slope or
curve) and driving conditions because of
fuel moving in the tank.
EXAMPLE
CAUTION
Never drive with the engine speed
indicator in the red zone or severe
engine damage can result.
When downshifting to a lower gear,
make sure not to operate with exces-
sive revolution speeds of the engine.
Refer to “Downshifting maximum
allowable speeds” in the “OPERAT-
ING YOUR VEHICLE” section.EXAMPLE
