NOTICE
The tachometer indicates engine speed
in thousands of rpm (revolutions per
minute). Use it while driving to select
correct shift points and to prevent en-
gine lugging and 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.
• Do not remove the thermostat in
the engine cooling system as this
may cause the engine to overheat.
The thermostat is designed to con-
trol the flow of coolant to keep the
temperature of the engine within
the specified operating range.
• Do not continue driving with
an
overheated engine. See "If your ve·
hicle overheats"
on
page 159 in
Section 4.
The gauge indicates the engine coolant
temperature when the ignition switch is
on. The engine operating temperature
will vary with changes in weather and
engine load.
If the needle points to the red zone or
higher, stop your vehicle and allow the
engine to cool.
Your vehicle may overheat during severe
operating conditions, such as:
• Driving up a long hill on a hot day.
• Reducing speed or stopping after high
speed driving.
• Idling for a long period with the air
conditioning on in stop-and-go traffic.
• Towing a trailer.
