Outside Temperature Warning
*
When the outside temperature is low, the
indicationÀ ashes and a beep sound is
heard to warn the driver of the possibility
of icy roads.
If the outside temperature is lower than
about 4 °C (39 °F), the outside temperature
display and the
mark À ashes for about
ten seconds and a beep sound is heard

Distance-to-empty mode
This mode 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.
(European model)
(Except European model)
NOTE
  Even though the distance-to-empty
display may indicate a suf¿ cient
amount of remaining driving distance
before refuelling is required, refuel
as soon as possible if the fuel level
is very low or the low fuel warning
light illuminates.
  The display may 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 ¿ rst
purchasing your vehicle or the
information is deleted when the
battery leads are disconnected, the
actual distance-to empty/range may
differ from the amount indicated.

The odometer records the total distance
the vehicle has been driven.
Trip meter
The driving distance for a speci¿ ed
interval is indicated. Two types (TRIP
A, TRIP B) of interval 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 ¿ lled.
When trip meter A is selected, TRIP A
will be displayed. When trip meter B is
selected, TRIP B will be displayed.
The trip meter and average fuel economy
can be reset by pressing the INFO switch
for 1.5 second or more while in each
mode.
NOTE
  Only the trip meters record tenths of
kilometres (miles).
  The trip record will be erased when:

Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge
Displays the engine coolant temperature.
The blue gauge indicates that the engine
coolant temperature is low, and the red
gauge indicates that the engine coolant
temperature is high and overheating.
CAUTION
If the high engine coolant temperature
warning light (red) turns on, there is
a possibility of overheating. Park the
vehicle in a safe place immediately and
take appropriate measures. If the vehicle
continues to be driven, it could cause
damage to the engine.
Refer to Overheating on page 7-24 .
NOTE
  The temperature unit (Centigrade/
Fahrenheit) of the engine coolant
gauge display changes in conjunction
with the temperature unit of the
outside temperature display.
 Refer to Personalisation Features on
page 9-10 .
  During normal driving, the engine
coolant temperature stabilizes at 100
°C (210 °F) or less, and the gauge
indicates a range lower than 100 °C
(210 °F).
  If the engine load increases and the
engine coolant temperature exceeds
100 °C (210 °F), the gauge indicates
the engine coolant temperature.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge shows approximately
how much fuel is remaining in the tank
when the ignition is switched ON. We
recommend keeping the tank over 1/4 full.

  After refuelling, it may require some
time for the indicator to stabilize. In
addition, the indicator may deviate
while driving on a slope or curve
since the fuel moves in the tank.
  The display indicating a quarter
or less remaining fuel has more
segments to show the remaining fuel
level in greater detail.
  The direction of the arrow ( )
indicates that the fuel-¿ ller À ap is on
the left side of the vehicle.
