Digital Speedometer
The speedometer shows how fast
the vehicle is moving in either
kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles
per hour (mph). The speedometer
cannot be reset.
Trip A or Trip B, Average Fuel
Economy
Displays the current distance
traveled, in either kilometers (km) or
miles (mi), from the last reset for the
trip odometer. The trip odometer can
be reset to zero by pressing and
holding the reset stem in the cluster
while the trip odometer display is
showing.
Also displays the approximate
average liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km) or miles per
gallon (mpg). This number is based on the number of L/100 km (mpg)
recorded since the last time this
menu item was reset. This number
reflects only the approximate
average fuel economy that the
vehicle has right now, and will
change as driving conditions
change. The average fuel economy
can be reset by pressing SET/CLR
while the Average Fuel Economy
display is showing.
Fuel Range
This display shows the approximate
distance the vehicle can be driven
without refueling. The fuel range
estimate is based on an average of
the vehicle’
s fuel economy over
recent driving history and the
amount of fuel remaining in the fuel
tank. Fuel range cannot be reset.
Oil Life
This display shows an estimate of
the oil's remaining useful life. If OIL
LIFE 99% REMAINING is displayed,
that means 99% of the current oil
life remains. When the remaining oil life is low,
the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message will appear on the display.
The oil should be changed as soon
as possible. See
Engine Oil0209.
In addition to the Engine Oil Life
System monitoring the oil life,
additional maintenance is
recommended in the Maintenance
Schedule in this manual. See
Maintenance Schedule 0281 for
more information.
Remember, the Oil Life display must
be reset after each oil change. It will
not reset itself. Also, be careful not
to reset the Oil Life display
accidentally at any time other than
when the oil has just been changed.
It cannot be reset accurately until
the next oil change. To reset the
Engine Oil Life System, press SET/
CLR while the Remaining Oil Life
display is active. See Engine Oil
Life System 0211.

Tire Pressure
The display will show a vehicle with
the approximate pressures of all
four tires. Tire pressure is displayed
in either kilopascal (kPa) or pounds
per square inch (psi).
SeeTire Pressure Monitor System
0 247 andTire Pressure Monitor
Operation 0248 for more
information.
Fuel Economy
The center displays the approximate
instantaneous fuel economy as a
number and bar graph. Displayed
above the bar graph is a running
average of fuel economy for the
most recently travelled selected
distance. Displayed below the bar
graph is the best average fuel
economy that has been achieved for
the selected distance. The selected
distance is displayed at the top of
the page as “last xxx mi/km”.
Press SET/CLR to select the
distance or reset best value. Hold SET/CLR to reset the best
average fuel economy. After reset,
the best value displays until the
selected distance has been
travelled. The display provides
information on how current driving
behavior affects the running
average and how well recent driving
compares to the best that has been
achieved for the selected distance.
Compass
The vehicle has a compass display
in the DIC. See
Compass0108 for
more information.
Vehicle Messages
Messages displayed on the DIC
indicate the status of the vehicle or
some action that may be needed to
correct a condition. Multiple
messages may appear one after
another.
The messages that do not require
immediate action can be
acknowledged and cleared by
pressing SET/CLR. The messages
that require immediate action cannot
be cleared until that action is
performed.
All messages should be taken

does not correct the problem.
