Electronically Controlled
Power Steering System
(ECPS) Indicator
On models with electronicallycontrolled power steering system(ECPS)This indicator normally comes on
when you select the ON mode by
operating the engine start/stop
button (see page 194) and goes off
after the engine starts. If it comes on
at any other time, there is a problem
with the power steering system. You
will also see a ‘‘CHECK POWER
STEERING SYSTEM ’’message on
the multi-information display (see
page 91). If this happens, stop the vehicle in a
safe place, and turn off the engine.
Reset the system by restarting the
engine, and watch this indicator. If it
does not go off or comes back on
again while driving, take the vehicle
to your dealer to have it checked.
With the indicator on, the ECPS is
turned off, which could make the
steering feel different.
Collision Mitigation
Braking System
™
(CMBS ™) Indicator
On models with collision mitigation
braking system ™(CMBS ™)This indicator normally comes on for
a few seconds when you select the
ON mode by operating the engine
start/stop button (see page 194). It
also comes on as a reminder that you
have turned off the collision
mitigation braking system ™
(CMBS ™).
The CMBS indicator also comes on if
dirt or other debris blocks the radar
sensor in the front grille. You will
also see a ‘‘CHECK CMBS RADAR
SENSOR ’’message on the multi-
information display. When you clean
the radar sensor, the indicator
should go off the next time you select
the ON mode by operating the
engine start/stop button.

OdometerThe odometer shows the total
distance your vehicle has been
driven. It measures miles in U.S.
models and kilometers in Canadian
models. It is illegal under U.S.
federal law and Canadian provincial
and territorial regulations to
disconnect, reset, or alter the
odometer with the intent to change
the number of miles or kilometers
indicated.Trip Meter
This meter shows the number of
miles (U.S.) or kilometers (Canada)
driven since you last reset it. There
are two trip meters: Trip A and Trip
B. Each trip meter works
independently, so you can keep track
of two different distances.
To reset a trip meter, display it, and
then press and hold the SEL/RESET
button until the number resets to
‘‘
0.0. ’’ When you reset Trip A, average fuel
economy A, average vehicle speed A,
and elapsed time A are reset at the
same time. When you reset Trip B,
average fuel economy B, average
vehicle speed B, and elapsed time B
are reset.
In the customizing mode, you can set
Trip A information: Trip A, average
fuel economy A, average vehicle
speed A, and elapsed time A to reset
at the same time when you refuel
your vehicle (see page 87).

Outside TemperatureThis shows the outside Fahrenheit
temperature in U.S. models, and
Celsius temperature in Canadian
models.The temperature sensor is in the
front bumper. The temperature
reading can be affected by heat
reflection from the road surface,
engine heat, and the exhaust from
surrounding traffic. This can cause
an incorrect temperature reading
when your vehicle speed is under 19
mph (30 km/h). When you start your
trip, the sensor is not fully
acclimatized, therefore it may take
several minutes until the proper
temperature is displayed.
In certain weather conditions,
temperature readings near freezing
(32°F, 0°C) could mean that ice is
forming on the road surface.
You can adjust the outside
temperature display (see page 108).Engine Oil Life
This shows the remaining life of the
engine oil. It shows 100% after the
engine oil is replaced and the display
is reset. The engine oil life is
calculated based on engine operating
conditions and accumulated engine
revolutions. For more information,
see page 533.

INST. MPG (U.S. models)/INST. L/100 km (Canadian models)This shows your instant fuel
economy.
RANGEThis shows the estimated distance
you can travel on the fuel remaining
in the fuel tank. This distance is
estimated from the fuel economy you
received over the last several miles
(U.S.) or kilometers (Canada), so it
will vary with changes in speed,
traffic, etc.AVG. SPEED A/BThis shows the average speed you
are traveling in miles per hour (mph)
for U.S. models or kilometers per
hour (km/h) for Canadian models.
ELAPSED TIME A/BThis shows the time passed traveled
since you last reset it. When you turn
the ignition switch to the ON (II)
position, ELAPSED TIME A or B is
reset.

stop button instead of an ignition
