INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTIONS

1. Tachometer
The Tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per
minute (RPM x 1000).

CAUTION!

Do not operate the engine with the tachometer
pointer at high RPM for extended periods. Engine
damage may occur.

2. Turn Signal Indicators

The arrow will flash with the exterior turn signal
when the turn signal lever is operated.

NOTE:

• A continuous chime will sound if the vehicle is driven

more than 1 mile (1.6 km) with either turn signal on.

• Check for an inoperative outside light bulb if either

indicator flashes at a rapid rate.

3. Fuel Gauge
Shows level of fuel in tank when ignition switch is in the
ON/RUN position.

4. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine coolant tempera-
ture. Any reading within the normal range indicates that
the engine cooling system is operating satisfactorily.

The gauge pointer will likely indicate a higher tempera-
ture when driving in hot weather, up mountain grades,
or when towing a trailer. It should not be allowed to
exceed the upper limits of the normal operating range.
