Instruments and Controls 115Power Outlet 110V/120V
Alternating Current If equipped with this power outlet on
the rear seat trim panel, it can be
used to plug in electrical equipment
that uses a maximum limit of 400
watts.
An indicator light on the outlet turns
on to show it is in use. The light
comes on when the ignition is in
ON/RUN, equipment requiring less
than 400 watts is plugged into the
outlet, and no system fault is
detected.
The indicator light does not come on
when the ignition is in LOCK/OFF or
if the equipment is not fully seated
into the outlet.
If equipment is connected using
more than 400 watts or a system
fault is detected, a protection circuit
shuts off the power supply and the
indicator light turns off. To reset the
circuit, unplug the item and plug it
back in or turn the Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) off and
then back on. See Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) 0 206 . The
power restarts when equipment using 400 watts or less is plugged
into the outlet and a system fault is
not detected.
The power outlet is not designed for
the following and may not work
properly if this equipment is
plugged in:
.
Equipment with high initial peak
wattage, such as
compressor-driven refrigerators
or electric power tools.
.
Other equipment requiring an
extremely stable power supply,
such as
microcomputer-controlled
electric blankets or touch sensor
lamps.
.
Medical equipment.

Odometer The odometer shows how far the
vehicle has been driven, in either
kilometers or miles.
Trip Odometer The trip odometer shows how far
the vehicle has been driven since
the trip odometer was last reset.
The trip odometer is accessed and
reset through the Driver Information
Center (DIC). See Driver
Information Center (DIC) 0 140 .
Tachometer The tachometer displays the engine
speed in revolutions per
minute (rpm).
On the base cluster, if the vehicle
has the Stop/Start system, when the
ignition is in ON/RUN, the
tachometer indicates the vehicle
status. When pointing to AUTO
STOP, the engine is off but the
vehicle is on and can move. The
engine could auto start at any time.
When the indicator points to OFF,
the vehicle is off. When the engine is on, the
tachometer will indicate the engine ’ s
revolutions per minute (rpm). The
tachometer may vary by several
hundred rpm ’ s, during Auto Stop
mode, when the engine is shutting
off and restarting.
A slight bump may be felt when the
transmission is determining the
most fuel efficient operating range.
CautionIf the engine is operated with the
rpm ’ s in the warning area at the
high end of the tachometer, the
vehicle could be damaged, and
the damage would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Do not
operate the engine with the rpm ’ s

When the ignition is on, the fuel
gauge indicates about how much
fuel is left in the tank.
There is an arrow near the fuel
gauge pointing to the side of the
vehicle the fuel door is on.
When the indicator nears empty, the
low fuel light comes on. There still is
a little fuel left, but the vehicle
should be refueled soon. Here are four things that some
owners ask about. None of these
show a problem with the fuel gauge:
.
At the service station, the fuel
pump shuts off before the gauge
reads full.
.
It takes a little more or less fuel
to fill up than the gauge
indicated. For example, the
gauge may have indicated the
tank was half full, but it actually
took a little more or less than
half the tank's capacity to fill
the tank.
.
The gauge moves a little while
turning a corner or speeding up.
.
The gauge takes a few seconds
to stabilize after the ignition is
turned on, and goes back to
empty when the ignition is
