Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute.
Do not operate the engine with the pointer of the tachometer in the red zone. This may cause severe damage to the engine.
NOTE
For non-turbo models, to protect the engine while the select lever is in the “P” or “N” position (for AT models) or the shift lever is in the neutral position (for MT models), the engine is controlled so that the engine speed may not become too high even if the accelerator pedal is depressed hard.
