Function
This indicator lights for a few seconds when the
ignition switch is turned ON and the engine stop
switch is at (RUN). It will then go off if the
properly-coded key has been inserted. If an
improperly-coded key has been inserted, the
indicator will remain on and the engine will not start
(page 38 ).

Never allow the tachometer needle to enter the red
zone, even after the engine has been broken in.
Running the engine beyond recommended maximum
engine speed (the beginning of the tachometer red
zone) can damage the engine.
