If you turn the steering wheel to the
f ull lef t or right position repeatedly

steering system.This indicator comes on f or a f ew
seconds when you turn the ignition
switch to the ON (II) position. It
remindsyouthatitistimetotake

maintenance. The maintenance main
items and sub items will be displayed
in the information display. See page
f or more inf ormation on the

This indicator goes of f when your
dealer resets it after completing the
required maintenance service.
This indicator normally comes on
when you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position and goes of f

Reset the system by restarting the
engine. The indicator will not turn
of f immediately. If it does not go of f

Press and hold the display change
button until you hear a beep. The
speedometer, trip meter, and
odometer readings switch between
miles per hour (mph) and kilometers
per hour (km/h).This meter shows the number of
miles or kilometers driven since you
last reset it.
There are two trip meters: Trip A
and Trip B. Switch between these
displays by pressing the SEL/
RESET button repeatedly. Each trip
meter works independently, so you
can keep track of two dif f erent
distances.
When you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position, your last

To reset a trip meter, display it, and
then press and hold the SEL/RESET
button until the number resets to
‘‘0.0.’’

vehicle has been driven. It measures
miles or kilometers.
It is illegal under U.S. f ederal law and
Canadian provincial regulations to
disconnect, reset, or alter the
odometer with the intent to change
the number of miles or kilometers
indicated.
The odometer and the outside
temperature indicator (if equipped)
use the same display. To switch the
display between them, press the
SEL/RESET button repeatedly.

This indicator displays the outside
temperature in Fahrenheit (U.S.
models) or Celsius (Canadian
models). To see the outside
temperature, press and release the
SEL/RESET button until the
temperature is shown on the
inf ormation display.
The temperature sensor is in the
f ront bumper. Theref ore, the
temperature reading can be af f ected
by heat ref lection f rom the road
surf ace, engine heat, and the
exhaust f rom surrounding traf f ic.
This can cause an incorrect
temperature reading when your
speed is under 19 mph (30 km/h).
The sensor delays the display update
until it reaches the correct outside
temperature. This may take several
minutes. In certain weather conditions,
temperature readings near f reezing
(32°F, 0°C) could mean that ice is
f orming on the road surf ace.
If the outside temperature is
incorrectly displayed, you can adjust
it up to 5°F in U.S. models ( 3°C
in Canadian models) warmer or
cooler.
When it reaches the desired value,
release the SEL/RESET button. You
should see the new outside
temperature displayed.
Select the outside temperature
display, then press and hold the
SEL/RESET button f or 10 seconds.
The f ollowing sequence will appear
for1secondeach:0,1,2,3,4,5, 5,
4, 3, 2, 1, 0 (U.S.) or 0, 1, 2,
