Subaru Forester: Meters and gauges / Speedometer, Tachometer and Odometer
Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle speed.
Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine with the pointer of the tachometer in the red zone. In this range, fuel injection will be cut by the engine control module to protect the engine from overrevving. The engine will resume running normally after the engine speed is reduced below the red zone.
