per minute (RPM x 1000).
CAUTION!
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer
pointer in the red area. Engine damage will
occur.

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.
WARNING!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system could
damage 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.
