The tachometer shows engine revolutions per
minute. This allows the driver to determine
the most efficient shift position (manual
transaxle), selector position {continuously
variable transmission (CVT)} or shift posi-
tion (Twin Clutch SST) and engine speed
combinations.
This gauge also assists in evaluating engine
performance.

CAUTION
 The red zone indicates an engine speed
beyond the range of safe operation.
 Select the correct shift position (manual
transaxle), selector position (CVT) or gear-
shift position (Twin Clutch SST) to control
the engine speed so that the tachometer indi-
cator does not enter the red zone.

NOTE
 You can adjust to 8 different levels respec-
tively for when the tail lights are illuminated
and when they are not.
 If the vehicle is equipped with the automatic
light control, when the light switch is in a
position other than the “OFF” position, the
meter illumination switches automatically to
the adjusted brightness, depending on the
brightness outside the vehicle.
 The brightness level of the instruments is
stored in memory when the ignition switch is
turned off.
 If you press and hold the button for longer
than about 1 second when the parking lights
are illuminated, the brightness level changes
to the maximum level. Pressing and holding
the button for longer than about 1 second
again returns the brightness level to the pre-
vious level.
