BEFORE DRIVING
NOTE:
Tachometer (if equipped)
Fuel Gauge
Maximum engine speed is limited at
approximately 5000 revolutions per minute
by the fuel cut control when you press the
accelerator pedal while the gearshift is in
“P” (Park) or “N” (Neutral).
EXAMPLE

(1)
68LM224
74LHT0220
The tachometer indicates engine speed in
revolutions per minute.
When the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position or the ignition mode is “ON”, this
gauge gives an approximate indication of
the amount of fuel in the fuel tank. “F”
stands for full and “E” stands for empty.
NOTICE
Never drive the vehicle with the
engine revving in the red zone or
severe engine damage can result.
Keep the engine speed below the red
zone even when downshifting to a
lower gear position.
If the indicator gets off the graduation of
“E” (not character “E”), refill the tank as
soon as possible.
NOTE:
The indicator moves a little depending on
road conditions (for example, slope or
curve) and driving conditions because of
fuel moving in the tank.
Refer to “Downshifting maximum
allowable speeds” in the “OPERAT-
ING YOUR VEHICLE” section.
If the low fuel warning light (1) comes on,
fill the fuel tank immediately.
