GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS
40
NOTICE
Do not drive the vehicle with the engine oil pressure
below the normal range until the cause is fixed − it may
ruin the engine.
VOLTMETER
13X004e
1
Discharge warning light
2
Normal range
The voltmeter tells whether the battery is charged or
discharged. Check it while the engine is running − the
needle should always indicate as shown above.
If the needle reads below or above the normal range while the
engine is running, it indicates the charging system needs
immediate repair.
However, it is normal for the needle to drop below the normal
range during engine starting.
TACHOMETER
13X005g
The tachometer indicates engine speed in thousands of
rpm (revolutions per minute). Use it while driving to
prevent engine over−revving.
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.
