Driving your vehicle
GAUGES
Speedometer
Tachometer
Engine temperature gauge
The speedometer indicates the forward
speed of the vehicle.
The tachometer indicates the approxi-
mate number of engine revolutions per
minute (rpm).
This gauge shows the temperature of the
engine coolant when the ignition switch
is ON.
Odometer/Trip odometer
Use the tachometer to select the correct
shift points and to prevent lugging and/or
over-revving the engine.
The tachometer pointer may move slight-
ly when the ignition switch is in ACC or
ON position with the engine OFF. This
movement is normal and will not affect
the accuracy of the tachometer once the
engine is running.
Do not continue driving with an overheat-
ed engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer
to “Overheating” in the Index.
You can choose the odometer, trip
odometer A or trip odometer B by press-
ing the tripmeter mode button.
CAUTION
Odometer
The odometer indicates the total dis-
tance the vehicle has been driven.
If the gauge pointer moves beyond
the normal range area toward the
“H” position, it indicates overheat-
ing that may damage the engine.
Trip odometer
TRIP A: Trip odometer A
TRIP B: Trip odometer B
The trip odometer indicates the distance
of individual trips selected by the driver.
Trip odometer A and B can be reset to 0
by pressing the reset button for 1 second
or more, and then releasing.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine within
the tachometer's RED ZONE.
This may cause severe engine dam-
age.
