GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS TACHOMETER ODOMETER AND TRIP METER The tachometer indicates engine speed in thousands of rpm (revolutions per minute). Use it while driving to prevent engine overrevving. Driving with the engine running too fast causes excessive engine wear and poor fuel economy. Remember, in most cases the slower the engine speed, the greater the fuel economy. This meter displays the odometer and two trip meters. To change the mode indication, push the "ODO/TRIP" knob. Each time you push the knob, the mode changes in order from the odometer to trip meter A to trip meter B, then back to the odometer, etc. The odometer records the total distance the vehicle has been driven. The twin trip meter records two different distances independently. For example, you can use one meter to calculate the fuel economy and the other to measure the distance on each trip. To set the A trip meter to zero, display the A meter reading, then turn the knob clockwise. The same applies to the B trip meter. The data of trip meters will be cancelled if the electrical power source is disconnected. NOTICE Do not let the indicator needle get into the red zone. This causes severe engine damage. 30

TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in thousands of
rpm (revolutions per minute).
Use it while driving to
prevent engine overrevving.
Driving with the engine running too fast causes excessive
engine wear and poor fuel economy. Remember, in most
cases the slower the engine speed, the greater the fuel
economy.
NOTICE
Do not let the indicator needle get into the red zone.
This causes severe engine damage.
ODOMETER AND TRIP METER
This meter displays the odometer and two trip meters.
To change the mode indication, push the “ODO/TRIP”
knob.
Each time you push the knob, the mode changes
in order from the odometer to trip meter A to trip meter
B, then back to the odometer, etc.
The odometer records the total distance the vehicle has
been driven.
The twin trip meter records two different
distances independently.
For example, you can use one meter to calculate the fuel
economy and the other to measure the distance on each trip.
To set the A trip meter to zero, display the A meter
reading, then turn the knob clockwise.
The same
applies to the B trip meter.
The data of trip meters will be cancelled if the electrical
power source is disconnected.
