GAUGES
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the forward
speed of the vehicle.
Tachometer
The tachometer indicates the approxi-
mate number of engine revolutions per
minute (rpm).
Use the tachometer to select the correct
shift points and to prevent lugging and/or
over-revving the engine.
The tachometer pointer may move slight-
ly when the ignition switch is in ACC or
ON position with the engine OFF. This
movement is normal and will not affect
the accuracy of the tachometer once the
engine is running.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Do not operate the engine within the
tachometer's RED ZONE.
This may cause severe engine damage.
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the approxi-
mate amount of fuel remaining in the fuel
tank.
Fuel tank capacity - 11.9 gallons
(45 liters)
The fuel gauge is supplemented by a low
fuel warning light, which will illuminate
when the fuel level has dropped to about
1.5~1.7 gallons (5.5~6.5 liters).
CAUTION
Avoid driving with a very low fuel
level. If you run out of fuel, it could
case the engine to misfire and
result in excessive loading of the
catalytic converter.
