Speedometer

The speedometer (5) indicates the vehicle’s speed in kilometres per hour (km/h).

Odometer and tripmeter

A small window under the speedometer is used for the odometer and tripmeter (3).

The odometer records the distance travelled since the vehicle was built, and the

tripmeter records the distance travelled on a particular journey. The tripmeter can

keep a record of two different journeys at the same time. The two trip odometers are

distinguished as TRIP A and TRIP B.

The trip odometer reset button (4) is located at the lower right-hand side of the

speedometer dial.

With the ignition switched on, push the trip odometer reset button (4) to change the

display between the odometer, TRIP A and TRIP B. If the trip odometer reset button is

pressed for more than one second, the tripmeter resets to zero.

1A-4 GAUGES cont.

Temperature gauge

The temperature gauge (6) indicates the

temperature of the engine coolant when

the ignition switch is turned to the ON

position.

Stop-start driving in heavy trafc, driving at

high speed in warm weather, hill climbing

or towing may cause the temperature to

increase. This is normal, and is no cause

for concern.

WARNING

Do not continue driving with the

temperature gauge pointer in

the red area, the engine is too

hot. Continued operation of an

overheated engine would result in

severe vehicle damage. Refer to

Engine overheating in chapter 6, for

overheating instructions.

Fuel gauge

The fuel gauge (7) indicates the level of

fuel within the fuel tank when the ignition

switch is turned to the ON position. F

represents full and E represents empty.

The needle in the fuel gauge falls to

E when the ignition switch is turned to

the OFF position. The fuel tank content

displays when the ignition switch is turned

to ON.

Refer to Fuel lling in chapter 5, for

refuelling instructions.

Tachometer

The tachometer (8) indicates the engine

speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).

The red zone of the tachometer indicates

critical engine speed.

WARNING

• Never operate the vehicle with

the tachometer needle in the

red zone.

•Continued operation with the

tachometer needle in the red

zone would lead to serious

engine damage.
