BEFORE DRIVING Gauges
RPM meter :
The meter indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm)
Change gears at appropriate engine rpm and car speed to get optimum
fuel economy.
The permitted engine rpm upper limit is the start of Red Zone on the
dial.
If RPM meter does not indicate during initial cold starting, gently raise
the engine rpm till the battery charge lamp goes 'OFF'.
Temperature gauge :
The gauges indicates the temperature level of the engine coolant. The
red zone at 'H' indicates temperatures higher than normal. A visual
warning indication (Red coloured) comes 'ON' indicating that when
the coolant temperature is higher than normal.
Avoid driving, when the pointer is in the red zone. It indicates engine
overheating, which may be due to insufficient coolant in the radiator
or due to any other defect. Take the car to the nearest Authorised
Service outlet for necessary attention.
