NOTICE
● Do not remove the thermostat on
the engine cooling system as this
may cause the engine to
overheat. The thermostat is
designed to control the flow of
coolant to keep the temperature
of the engine within the
specified operating range.
● Do not continue driving with an
overheated engine. See “If your
vehicle overheats” in section 4.
Tachometer
The tachometer indicates the
engine speed in thousands of rpm
(revolutions per minute). Use it
while driving to select correct shift
points and to prevent engine
lugging and over-running.
Driving when the engine is running
too fast may cause excessive engine
loss and poor fuel economy.
Remember. In most cases, the slower
the engine speed is, the fewer the fuel
is consumed.
When the ignition switch is in
“START” position, there is no
malfunction even if the engine
coolant temperature gauge needle
returns to “0”.
NOTICE
Do not let the indicator needle get
into the red zone. This may cause
severe engine damage.
