SPEEDOMETER

Speedometer

U.S. Models

hour (mph). The smaller inner
numbers are the speed in kilometers
per hour (km/h).

Canadian Models

This shows your speed in kilometers

per hour (km/h). The smaller inner
numbers are the speed in miles per

hour (mph).

Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine

speed in revolutions per minute

(rpm). To protect the engine from

damage, never drive with the
tachometer needle in the red zone.

Oil Pressure Gauge

This shows the engine's oil pressure

in hundred kilopascal (X100 kPa).

This pressure varies with engine

speed and temperature. If the oil
pressure falls low enough to cause
engine damage, the Low Oil
Pressure Indicator comes on (see
page

256

).

Temperature Gauge

This shows the temperature of the

engine's coolant. During normal
operation, the pointer should rise

from the bottom white mark to about
the middle of the gauge. In severe

driving conditions, such as very hot

weather or a long period of uphill

driving, the pointer may rise to near

the upper white mark. If it reaches
the red (Hot) mark, pull safely to the

side of the road. Turn to page

instructions and precautions on
checking the engine's cooling
system.
