![]() WAC0980X TACHOMETER The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM). Do not rev the engine into the red zone . CAUTION When engine speed approaches the red zone, shift to a higher gear or reduce engine speed. Operating the engine in the red zone may cause serious engine damage. WAC0751X ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE The engine coolant temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant tempera- ture. mal when the gauge points within the zone shown in the illustration. The engine coolant temperature will vary with the outside air temperature and driving conditions. CAUTION . If the gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature is near the hot (H) end of the normal range, reduce vehicle speed to decrease the temperature. . If the gauge is over the normal range, stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible and let the engine idle. . If the engine is overheated, con- tinued operation of the vehicle may seriously damage the en- gine. (See “If your vehicle over- heats” (P.6-12) for immediate action required.)
