•The digital gauge will likely indicate a higher
temperature when driving in hot weather, or up
mountain grades. It should not be allowed to
exceed the upper limits of the normal operating
range.
WARNING!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads
“H” pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle
with the air conditioner turned off until the pointer
drops back into the normal range. If the pointer
remains on the “H,” turn the engine off immediately
and call an authorized dealer for service.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or
others could be badly burned by steam or boiling
coolant. You may want to call an authorized dealer
for service if your vehicle overheats. If you decide
to look under the hood yourself, see “Maintaining
Your Vehicle.” Follow the warnings under the Cool-
ing System Pressure Cap paragraph. 3.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY
Your vehicle may be equipped with an Instrument
Cluster Display, which offers useful information to the
driver. With the ignition in the STOP/OFF position (and

Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
indicator system. The “Change Engine Oil” message
will appear in the Instrument Cluster Display for ap-
proximately 5 seconds after a single chime has sounded
to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval. The
engine oil change indicator system is duty cycle based,
which means the engine oil change interval may fluc-
tuate, dependent upon your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to display each
time you turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. To turn off the message temporarily, push and
release the
MENU
button. To reset the oil change
indicator system (after performing the scheduled
maintenance), refer to the following procedure.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. (do not start the engine.)
2. Fully push the accelerator pedal slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE: If the indicator message illuminates when you
start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not
reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure.
Trip Computer
The Trip Computer is located in the instrument cluster.
It features a driver-interactive display (displays infor-
mation such as trip information, range, fuel consump-
tion, average speed, and travel time).
Trip Button
The TRIP button, located on the right steering column
stalk, can be used to display and to reset the previously
described values.

tion” cannot be reset.
Values Displayed
Range
This indicates the distance which may be traveled with
the fuel remaining in the tank, assuming that driving
conditions will not change. The message “----” will
appear on the display in the following cases:
• Distance less than 30 miles (or 50 km). •
The vehicle is parked for a long time with the engine
running.
NOTE: The range depends on several factors: driving
style, type of route (freeway, residential, mountain
roads, etc.), and conditions of use of the vehicle (load,
tire pressure, etc.). Trip planning must take into account
the above notes.
Distance Traveled
This value shows the distance covered since the last
reset.
Average Fuel Economy
This value shows the approximate average fuel con-
sumption since the last reset.
Instantaneous Fuel Economy
This indicates the fuel consumption. The value is con-
