TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in
revolutions per minute (rpm). Do not rev
the engine into the red zone
O1.
CAUTION
When engine speed approaches the
red zone, reduce engine speed. Operat-
ing the engine in the red zone may
cause serious engine damage.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
The gauge indicates the engine coolant
temperature. The engine coolant tempera-
ture is within the normal range
O1when
the gauge needle points within the zone
shown in the illustration.
The engine coolant temperature varies
with the outside air temperature and driv-
ing conditions.
CAUTION
If the gauge indicates coolant tem-
perature near the hot (H) end of the
normal range, reduce vehicle speed to
decrease temperature. If the 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

WARNING
• If the ATP light is on, this indicates
that the automatic transmission P
(Park) position will not function and
the transfer case is in N (Neutral).
• When parking, always make sure that
the 4WD shif t indicator light illumi-
nates and the parking brake is set.
Failure to engage the transfer posi-
tion in 2WD, 4H or 4LO could result in
