It is normal for the dashboard to display x1000r. Here is a related introduction about the dashboard: 1. Concept: The car dashboard is a device that reflects the working conditions of various vehicle systems. Common indicators include the fuel indicator, washer fluid indicator, electronic throttle indicator, front and rear fog light indicators, and warning lights. 2. Speedometer and odometer: The speedometer and odometer are actually composed of two meters. One is the speedometer, and the other is the odometer. The odometer is a digital instrument that rotates the counter drum wheel by meshing the transmission gear of the counter drum wheel with the worm gear on the speedometer transmission shaft. Its characteristic is that the upper drum wheel completes a full rotation.
When I first got my car, I was also puzzled by the "x1000r" on the dashboard. Later, I learned that this is the unit indicator for the tachometer, and the actual RPM is the needle's number multiplied by 1000. It's normal to see the needle stop around 1.5 (1500 RPM) during a cold start, as the engine needs to warm up quickly. Once the coolant temperature rises, the idle speed will drop to between 0.7 and 0.9 (700-900 RPM). When accelerating, it's common for the needle to surge into the 2 to 3 range (2000-3000 RPM), and occasionally hitting 4 (4000 RPM) during high-speed overtaking is also reasonable. As long as it's not consistently in the red zone above 6 or jumping erratically like dancing at a red light, there's generally no need to worry. For older cars, though, it's important to monitor whether the idle speed is stable. My friend's decade-old car had fluctuating idle speeds, which turned out to be a carbon buildup issue.
