" 1 Discharge warning light
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.

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.
