NOTICE
D Do not remove the thermostat in the engine cooling
system as this may cause the engine to overheat. The

to keep the temperature of the engine within the
specified operating range.

See "If your vehicle overheats" on page 226.
GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS
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.
Do not let the indicator needle get into the red zone. This
may cause severe engine damage.
