GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS TACHOMETER ODOMETER AND TRIP METER 13G006d 13G004 The tachometer indicates engine speed in thousands of rpm (revolutions per minute). Use it while driving to prevent engine over-revving. 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" button. 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 change the trip meter indication from one trip to the other, push the "ODO/TRIP" button. To set the A trip meter to zero, display the A meter reading, then push the "RESET" button. The same applies for 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 may cause severe engine damage. 40
