Instruments and controls J Tachometer CAUTION Do not operate the engine with the pointer of the tachometer in the red zone. In this range, fuel injection will be cut by the engine control module to protect the engine from overrevving. The engine will resume running normally after the engine speed is reduced below the red zone. 3 The tachometer shows the engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute. J Outside temperature indicator (if equipped) The outside temperature indicator shows the outside temperature in a range from -22°F to 122°F (-30°C to 50°C). The indicator can give a false reading under any of the following conditions: D When there is too much sun. D During idling; while running at low speeds in a traffic jam; when the engine is restarted immediately following a shutdown. D When the actual outside temperature falls outside the specified indicator range. For vehicles with an automatic climate control, outside temperature can be displayed on the climate control display panel. Refer to the "Automatic climate control system" in chapter 4. J Fuel gauge The fuel gauge shows the approximate amount of fuel remaining in the tank. The gauge does not return to "E" even though the ignition switch is in the "ACC" or "LOCK" position. The gauge may move slightly during braking, turning or acceleration due to fuel level movement in the tank. - CONTINUED - 3-9
