Tachometer

Indicates the engine speed in revolutions per minute

(RPM x 1000).

CAUTION!

Do not operate the engine with the tachometer pointer
in the red area. Engine damage will occur.

4.

Temperature Gauge

The temperature gauge shows engine coolant tem-

perature. Any reading within the normal range indi-

cates that the engine cooling system is operating

satisfactorily.

The gauge pointer will likely indicate a higher tem-

perature when driving in hot weather, up mountain

grades, or when towing a trailer. It should not be

allowed to exceed the upper limits of the normal

operating range.

WARNING!

A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or
others could be badly burned by steam or boiling
coolant. You may want to call an authorized dealer for
service if your vehicle overheats.

CAUTION!

Driving with a hot engine cooling system could dam-
age your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads “H”
pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the
air conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back
into the normal range. If the pointer remains on the
“H”, turn the engine off immediately and call an
authorized dealer for service.
