Vehicle Speed Limiter This feature prevents your vehicle from exceeding speeds that the tires are not rated for. When this happens, the engine's fuel supply is shut off. When the vehicle speed slows, the fuel supply will come on again. NOTICE: Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in the shaded area or engine damage may occur. Engine Speed Limiter Tachometer (Analog Cluster Only) This gage indicates the engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm). This feature prevents the engine from operating at too many revolutions per minute (rpm). When the engine's rpm are critically high, the fuel supply to the engine is shut off.
