some of the meters and gauges in the
combination meter. You will find their
indications hard to see if you wear
polarized glasses.■
Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle
speed.
■
Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine speed
in thousands of revolutions per minute.NOTEThe initial movement of the bar display
that occurs when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position can be
activated or deactivated.
For details, refer to "General settings"
P161.

CAUTION
 Do not operate the engine with
the pointer of the tachometer in
the red zone. In this range, fuel
injection will be cut by the engine
control module to protect the
engine from overrevving. The
engine will resume running
normally after the engine speed is
reduced below the red zone.Pay extra attention to the engine
speed when the engine is cold, as
the red zone will be lower than
normal.

Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge shows the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
When the ignition switch is in the “OFF” or
“ACC” position, the fuel gauge shows “E”
even if the fuel tank contains fuel.
The gauge may move slightly due to fuel
level movement in the tank (e.g., during
braking, turning or acceleration).NOTEYou will see the “ ” sign in the fuel
gauge. This indicates that the fuel filler
lid is located on the right side of the
vehicle.
■
Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position.
The coolant temperature will vary in
accordance with the outside temperature
and driving conditions.
We recommend that you drive moderately
until the pointer of the temperature gauge
reaches near the middle of the range.
Engine operation is optimum with the
engine coolant at this temperature range
and high revving operation when the
engine is not warmed up enough should
be avoided.
■
Outside Temperature
Displays the outside temperature within
the range of -40°F (-40°C) to 122°F
(50°C). Low outside temperature indicator
comes on when the ambient temperature
is 37°F (3°C) or lower.NOTEThe outside temperature indicator
shows the temperature around the
sensor. However, the temperature may
not be indicated correctly or the
update may be delayed in the follow-
ing conditions.
While parking or driving at low
speeds
 When the outside temperature
changes suddenly (example: when
going in and out of an underground
parking area or when passing through
a tunnel)
