How to Read the Engine Tachometer?
1 Answers
Engine tachometer reading methods are as follows: 1. The engine speed can be determined by checking the engine tachometer on the car dashboard, where the displayed number is generally multiplied by 1000 to get the current engine speed. 2. The level of engine speed relates to the number of work cycles per unit time or the effective power of the engine, meaning the effective power of the engine varies with different speeds. 3. For general family cars, shifting gears typically involves starting in 1st gear and shifting to 2nd gear when the speed reaches around 1500 to 2500 rpm. After shifting to 2nd gear, the speed indicated in the tachometer will decrease slightly. Then, shift to 3rd gear when the speed reaches around 2500 rpm, and so on.
