Odometer/Trip Computer
The display mode can be changed from
odometer to “Trip computer A” to “Trip
computer B” and then back to
odometer by pushing the selector while
one of them is displayed.
The selected mode will be displayed.
When the ignition is placed in the ACC
or OFF position, the odometer or trip
cannot be displayed. Pushing the
selector can switch the trip or reset it
for a ten-minute period in the following
cases:
After the ignition is cycled to OFF
from ON.
After the driver's door is opened. Odometer
The odometer records the total
distance the vehicle has been driven.
Trip Computer
The trip computer can record the total
distance of two trips. One is recorded in
“Trip A”, and the other is recorded in
“Trip B”.
For instance, “Trip A” can record the
distance from the point of origin, and
“Trip B” can record the distance from
where the fuel tank is filled.
When “Trip A” is selected, pushing the
selector again within one second will
change to “Trip B” mode. When “Trip A”
is selected, TRIP A will be displayed.
When “Trip B” is selected, TRIP B will
be displayed.
The trip computer records the total
distance the vehicle is driven until the
meter is again reset. Return it to “0.0”
by depressing and holding the selector
for one second or more.
Use this meter to measure trip
distances and to compute fuel
consumption.
If the fuel economy data is reset using
the fuel economy monitor or Trip “A” is
reset using the trip meter, the fuel
economy data and Trip “A” are reset
simultaneously when the fuel economy
monitor with the trip meter is on.
Note: Only the trip records tenths of
miles (kilometers). Trip Computer Reset
The trip computer will be erased when:
The power supply is interrupted
(blown fuse or the battery is
disconnected).
The vehicle is driven over
9999.9 miles.
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the speed
of the vehicle.
Instrument Panel
Illumination
When the position lights are turned on
with the ignition switched ON, the
brightness of the instrument panel
illumination is dimmed. When the
position lights are turned on, the
warning light in the instrument
cluster turns on (see “Headlights” in
“Getting To Know Your Vehicle”
chapter).
Brightness Adjustment
The brightness of the instrument panel
and dashboard illuminations can be
adjusted by rotating the knob:
The brightness decreases by rotating
the knob to the left. A beep sound will
be heard when the knob has been
rotated to the maximum dim position.05020102-121-001AB

The brightness increases by rotating
the knob to the right.
Cancelling Illumination Dimmer
Rotate the knob to the right until a beep
is heard while the instrument cluster is
dimmed with the ignition switched ON.
If the instrument cluster's visibility is
reduced due to glare from surrounding
brightness, cancel the illumination
dimmer.
When the illumination dimmer is
canceled, the instrument cluster cannot
be dimmed even if the position lights
are turned on. When the illumination
dimmer is canceled, the screen in the
center display switches to constant
display of the daytime screen. Trip Computer And Info
Switch
The following information can be
selected by pushing the INFO switch
with the ignition in the ON position:
Distance-to-empty (approximate
distance you can travel on the available
fuel).
Average fuel economy.
Current fuel economy.
Average vehicle speed.
If you have any problems with your trip
computer, contact an authorized dealer.
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. Note:
Even though the distance-to-empty
display may indicate a sufficient
amount of remaining driving distance
before refueling 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
2.3 gallons (9 liters) 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.05020102-121-001AB

The tachometer shows engine speed in
thousands of revolutions per minute
(rpm).
The range varies depending on the type
of gauge. Engine Coolant
Temperature Gauge And
Fuel Gauge
Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
Note: 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

or the fuel level is very low, refuel as
soon as possible.
Note:
After refueling, 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 on the
fuel gauge indicates that the fuel door
lid is on the left side of the vehicle.05020103-12A-002AB
