Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the forward

The speedometer is calibrated in kilome-
ters per hour and/or miles per hour.

The tachometer indicates the approxi-
mate number of engine revolutions per

The tachometer pointer may move slight-
ly when the ignition switch is in ACC or
ON position with the engine OFF. This
movement is normal and will not affect
the accuracy of the tachometer once the
engine is running.
CAUTION - Red zone
Do not operate the engine within
the tachometer's RED ZONE. This
may cause severe engine damage.
