1. Temperature gauge
This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant.
During normal operation, the pointer will rise from the lower
(cold) mark to the middle part of the gauge, where it will remain
while the engine is operating at its normal temperature.
In severe driving conditions, such as very hot weather or extended
hill climbing, the pointer may reach the upper WHITE mark. If
the pointer rises to the RED mark, the coolant is too hot and
severe engine damage could result; stop the car as soon as safety
permits and seek qualified assistance.

Indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute. To protect the

enter the RED sector. Note that the range of the red sector will
vary according to engine type.
NOTE: Speed restriction limiters will prevent engine speed rising above a
pre-determined level.
3. Speedometer
