Speedometer
The Speedometer indicates the vehicle
speed in miles per hour (mph) and in
kilometers per hour (km/h).
Tachometer
The rpm detail is also available as a
viewable screen in the instrumentation
cluster as a virtual gauge. The tachometer
is a useful gauge when attempting to drive
efficiently. It will let you match driving
speed and gear selection to the operating
range of your engine. If the engine speed
gets too high, you can select a higher gear
to lower the rpm. If the engine speed drops
too low
, you can select a lower gear to
raise the rpm. To avoid engine damage, do
not let the pointer exceed maximum
governed engine speed. (See your Engine
Operation and Maintenance Manual for
rpm recommendations.)
Engine - Coolant Temperature
The water temperature gauge shows the
temperature of the engine coolant.
Under normal operating conditions the
water temperature gauge should register
between 165-205°F (74-90°C). Under
certain conditions, slightly higher
temperatures may be acceptable. But the
maximum allowable temperature is 210°F
(99°C), except for certain special engines.
Check your engine manual to be sure.
Fuel Level
In addition to indicating empty and full, the
gauge(s) also indicate the fuel level in
graduated increments. When the fuel level
for the tank is below 1/4 full, a red warning
lamp in the gauge will come on.
WARNING
DO NOT carry additional fuel contain-
ers
in your vehicle. Fuel containers, ei-
ther full or empty, may leak, explode,
and cause or feed a fire. Failure to
comply may result in death or personal
injury.
