A meter apparatus is mountable on a vehicle equipped with an internal combustion engine having an output shaft that rotates at a predetermined idling speed during idling of the engine. When the vehicle satisfies a predetermined stop condition during rotation of the output shaft at the idling speed, the rotation of the output shaft is stopped temporarily. The meter apparatus includes a pointer needle that moves according to a rotation speed of the output shaft to indicate the rotation speed. The amount of movement of the pointer needle with respect to a change in the rotation speed of the output shaft is less when the rotation speed is in a low speed range below the idling speed than when the rotation speed is in a high speed range above the idling speed.
A meter apparatus mountable on a vehicle equipped with an internal combustion engine having an output shaft configured to rotate at a predetermined idling speed during idling of the engine, the output shaft rotating at the idling speed being stopped temporarily when the vehicle satisfies a predetermined stop condition, the meter apparatus comprising:
