In the following situations, the correct outside temperature may not be dis-
played, or the display may take longer than normal to change.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the engine and its components

Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red zone, which
indicates the maximum engine speed.

The engine may be overheating if the engine coolant temperature gauge is
in the red zone (H). In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe
place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely. (
