Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the for-
ward speed of the vehicle.
Tachometer
The tachometer indicates the
approximate number of engine revo-
lutions per minute (rpm).
Use the tachometer to select the cor-
rect shift points and to prevent lug-
ging and/or over-revving the engine.
The tachometer pointer may move
slightly 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 run-
ning.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Do not operate the engine within the
tachometer's RED ZONE.
This may cause severe engine dam-
age.
