The engine can be severely damaged
if this indicator f lashes or stays on
when the engine is running. For
more information, see page .
If this indicator comes on when the
engine is running, the battery is not
being charged. For more inf ormation,
see page . See page .This indicator normally comes on f or
a f ew seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position. If it comes on at any other
time, it indicates a problem in the
integrated motor assist (IMA)
system. With the IMA indicator on,
the vehicle may not accelerate as it
normally does. Have the vehicle
checked by the dealer as soon as
possible.

When either of the trip meters (trip
A or trip B) is displayed, your
vehicle’s average f uel economy since
you last reset that trip meter can be
shownontheinformationdisplay
(mpg or l/100km). This number is
updated once per 10 seconds. To see
the average f uel economy, press and
release the SEL/RESET button
repeatedly.This shows how much f uel you have.
It may show slightly more or less
than the actual amount.
The average f uel economy will be
reset when you reset the trip meter,
or if the vehicle’s battery goes dead
or is disconnected.
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.
To reset a trip meter, display it, and
then press and hold the SEL/RESET
button until the number resets to
‘‘0.0.’’ Fuel Gauge

cause the engine to misf ire, damaging
the catalytic converter.

This gauge shows you the state of
charge of the battery for the
Integrated Motor Assist (IMA). This
battery is recharged by the IMA
motor, and discharged by the IMA
when it is assisting the engine with
powering the vehicle.Since the level is not read directly,
small sensing errors can, over time,
cause the gauge to read higher than
the actual battery level. The system
will then perf orm a correction, and
the battery level gauge reading will
drop suddenly. When this happens,
IMA assist and Auto Idle Stop are
disabled until the IMA battery is
suf f iciently recharged by normal
driving.
The gauge reading may drop near
the bottom under driving conditions
that require IMA motor assistance
f or a long time, such as prolonged
acceleration or climbing a long hill.
TheIMAmotorwillrechargethe
battery as you continue driving.
The IMA battery is charged at a
higher rate when the transmission is
in LOW (L) range (see page ).
If the battery is mostly discharged,
the Auto Idle Stop f unction is
disabled (see page ).
The battery level gauge does not
read the battery level directly. It
calculates the level by continuously
measuring the current f low, voltage,
and temperature.
This correction of the battery level
gauge is normal and does not
indicate a problem. If the IMA
battery develops a problem or
becomes deteriorated, the IMA
system indicator will come on. If this
happens, have the vehicle checked
by your dealer as soon as possible.

This gauge shows you the status of
the Integrated Motor Assist (IMA).
When the IMA battery is being
charged, the bottom side of the
gauge illuminates. When the IMA is
assisting the engine, the upper side
of the gauge illuminates.If the IMA battery is too hot or too
cold, the IMA system limits the IMA
battery’s output power to protect the
battery. This disables the IMA assist
and Auto Idle Stop, even though the
Battery Level Gauge may show that
the battery is well-charged.
Theref ore, if the motor assist is
f requently used, the battery
becomes hot and starts to limit its
output power.
It takes the IMA system a f ew
minutes in cold weather to normalize
the IMA battery’s output power, and
about 15 minutes in hot weather.

In the HI setting, the heater turns off
when the seat gets warm, and turns
back on after the seat’s temperature
drops.
In the LO setting, the heater runs
continuously. It does not cycle with
temperature changes.
Follow these precautions whenever
you use the seat heaters:If the engine is lef t idling f or an
extended period, do not use the
seat heaters even on the LO
setting. It can weaken the battery,
causing hard starting. Use the HI setting only to heat the
seats quickly, because it draws
large amounts of current f rom the
battery.
Push the front of the switch, HI, to
rapidly heat up the seat. Af ter the
seat reaches a comfortable
temperature, select LO by pushing
the back of the switch. This will keep
the seat warm.
Both f ront seats are equipped with
seat heaters. Because of the sensors
f or the side airbag cutof f system,
there is no heater in the passenger’s
seat-back. The ignition switch must
be in the ON (II) position to use the
heaters.

If you lose the card, you must obtain
the code number f rom a dealer. To
do this, you will need the system’s
serial number.
Your vehicle’s audio system will
disable itself if it is disconnected
f rom electrical power f or any reason.
To make it work again, you must
enter a specif ic f ive-digit code (or a
f our-digit code f or models with a
navigation system) in the preset
buttons. Because there are hundreds
of number combinations possible
from five or four-digits, making the
system work without knowing the
exact code is nearly impossible. If your vehicle’s battery is
disconnected or goes dead, the audio
system will disable itself . Use the
preset buttons to enter the five-digit
code (or a f our-digit code f or models
with a navigation system). The code
is on the radio code card included in
your owner’s manual kit. When it is
entered correctly, the radio will start
playing.If you make a mistake entering the
code, do not start over; complete the
f ive-digit (or a f our-digit code f or
models with a navigation system)
sequence, then enter the correct
code. You have 10 tries to enter the
correct code. If you are unsuccessf ul
in 10 attempts, you must then leave
the system on f or 1 hour bef ore
trying again.
Youshouldhavereceivedacardthat
lists your audio system’s code and
serial numbers. It is best to store this
card in a saf e place at home. In
addition, you should write the audio
system’s serial number in this owner’s
manual.
