Normal operating range shows your engine speed during normal driving

conditions.

For example, when

the

needle points

to

2,

it means

the engine is

running at

2,000

revolutions per minute

(rpm). The tachometer needle will

vary all the time that

the engine is

running.

The

red warning range tells

you

that your engine speed

is

reaching its upper

limits.

Don’t drive very long with

the

tachometer

in

the

red

warning

range.

If

you

have a manual

transmission,

shift to a higher gear

as soon as possible.

If

you

have

an automatic transmission, lift your foot off

of

the

accelerator

pedal.

If

you

drive for very long with

the tachometer in the

red danger

range, engine damage will

result.

I

NOTICE:

Do

not

operate

the

engine

with

the

tachometer

in

the

red

range,

or

engine

damage

will

occur.

The red danger range

tells

you

that

your engine speed

is

at its upper limits.

You should

immediately

shift to a higher

gear, or lift your

foot

off

of the

accelerator pedal. If

you drive for very long with

the tachometer in the red

danger range, engine damage will

result.

Warning

Lights

and

Indicators

This part describes the

warning

lights

and

gages

that

may

be

on your

vehicle.

The

pictures

will

help

you

locate

them.

Warning

lights

and gages can

signal

that something is

wrong

before it

becomes serious enough

to

cause an expensive repair or replacement.

Paying

attention to your warning lights

and gages could also save you or

others from injury.

Warning

lights come on

when there may

be or

is a problem

with one of your

vehicle’s functions.

As

you

will see in

the details on the

next few pages,

some warning lights come on

briefly

when

you

start

the

engine just to let

you know they’re

working.

If

you

are familiar with

this section, you

should

not

be alarmed when

this

happens.

Gages

canindicate when

there

may

be or is a problem

with one

of

your

vehicle’s functions. Often gages and

warning lights work

together to let

you

know

when

there’s a problem

with your vehicle.

When one

of

the

warning lights comes

on

and

stays on when

you are

driving, or when one

of

the gages shows there may

be a problem,

check

the

section

that

tells

you

what

to

do about it. Please follow

this

manual’s advice.

Waiting to do repairs can

be

costly

-

and

even dangerous.

So

please get to

know

your warning lights

and gages. They’re a big

help.
