Cylinder Deactivation*
The cylinder deactivation is a function
designed to reduce fuel consumption and
improve fuel economy by deactivating 2
out of the 4 cylinders while driving. The
function constantly determines which is
better for driving; 4 cylinders or 2
cylinders, regardless of the driver's
operations, and it performs the switching
automatically.
When the cylinder deactivation function
does not operate
The cylinder deactivation function does
not operate under the following
conditions.
The selector lever is in the P, N, or R
position, or 1st gear.
The engine oil temperature or engine
coolant temperature is low.
After disconnecting the battery
terminals for some reason, such as for
battery replacement.

Odometer
The odometer records the total distance
the vehicle has been driven.
Tr i p m e t e r
The driving distance for a specified
interval is indicated
. Two types (TRIP A,
TRIP B) of interva l distance and the
average fuel economy for each can be
measured.

For instance, trip meter A can record the
distance from the point of origin, and trip
meter B can record the distance from
where the fuel tank is filled.

When trip meter A is selected, TRIP A
will be displayed. Wh en trip meter B is
selected, TRIP B will be displayed.

The trip meter and average fuel economy
can be reset by pressi ng the INFO switch
for 1.5 seconds or more while in each
mode.
NOTE
Only the trip meters record tenths of
kilometers (miles).
The trip record will be erased when:
The power supply is interrupted
(blown fuse or the battery is
disconnected).
The vehicle is driven over 9999.9 km
(mile).

▼Distance-to-empty
This displays the approximate distance
you can travel on the remaining fuel based
on the fuel economy.
The distance-to-empty will be calculated
and displayed every second.

NOTE
Even though the distance-to-empty
display may indicate a sufficient amount
of remaining driving distance before
refueling is required
, refuel as soon as
possible if the fuel level is very low or
the low fuel warning light illuminates.
The display will not change unless you
add more than approximately 9 L (2.3
US gal, 1.9 Imp gal) of fuel.
The distance-to-empty is the
approximate remaining distance the
vehicle can be driven until all the
graduation marks in the fuel gauge
indicating the remaining fuel supply
disappear.
If there is no past fuel economy
information such as after first
purchasing your vehicle or the
information is deleted when the battery
cables are disconnected, the actual
distance-to empty/range may differ from
the amount indicated.
▼ Average Fuel Economy
The average fuel economy is calculated
every minute from the total traveled
distance on the trip meter and the total fuel
consumption, and the average fuel
economy for either TRIP A or TRIP B is
displayed.

The average fuel economy and trip meters
can be reset by pressi
ng the INFO switch
for 1.5 seconds or more while in each
mode. After the data is cleared, the fuel
consumption is recalculated and the - - -
km/L (- - - mpg) for the 1 minute prior to
it being displayed is indicated.
▼ Current Fuel Economy
This displays the current fuel economy by
calculating the amount of fuel
consumption and the distance traveled.

NOTE
Indicates the 0 position when the vehicle
speed is about 5 km/h (3 mph) or slower.
The red arrow on the scale indicates the
average fuel economy.
