The odometer shows the total
distance your vehicle has been
driven. It measures miles in U.S.
models and kilometers in Canadian
models. It is illegal under U.S.
federal law and Canadian provincial/
territorial regulations to disconnect,
reset, or alter the odometer with the
intent to change the number of miles
or kilometers indicated.This meter shows the number of
miles (U.S.) or kilometers (Canada)
driven since you last reset it. There
are two trip meters: Trip A and Trip
B. Each trip meter works
independently, so you can keep track
of two dif f erent distances.When you reset Trip A, average f uel
economy A is reset at the same time.
When you reset Trip B, average f uel
economy B is reset.
In the customizing mode, you can set
Trip A and average f uel economy A
to reset when you ref uel your vehicle
(see
page ).
To reset a trip meter, display it,
then press and hold the SEL/
RESET button until the number
resets to ‘‘0.0’’. 99

This shows the outside Fahrenheit
temperature in U.S. models, and
Celsius temperature in Canadian
models.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.
You can adjust the outside
temperature display (see
page).
The temperature sensor is in the
f ront bumper. The temperature
reading can be affected 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 vehicle speed is under
19 mph (30 km/h). When you start
your trip, the sensor is not f ully
acclimatized, theref ore it may take
several minutes until the proper
temperature is displayed.
This shows the remaining engine oil
lif e. It shows 100% af ter the engine
oil is replaced and the display is reset.
The engine oil lif e is calculated
based on engine operating conditions.

The IMA system power f low monitor
shows the status of the IMA system.
The energy source, and powering
status of the engine and IMA motor
(engine operation icon and IMA
battery) are represented by arrows
on the display. The battery level
indicator shows the state of charge
of the IMA battery.The table in the next column shows
the basic monitoring display
examples and their descriptions.

The IMA battery level indicator
shows you the state of charge of
the battery for the Integrated
Motor Assist (IMA). This battery is
recharged and discharged by the
IMA motor depending on the
driving conditions.The position of the battery level
reading shows the state of charge of
the IMA battery. When the battery
level reading is high, the IMA
battery is well charged. There are
seven positions (Level 0-Level 6) of
the battery level reading.The battery level 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.
The IMA motor will recharge the
battery as you continue driving.

The IMA battery is charged at a
higher rate when the transmission is
in L (Low) mode (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. If the battery is mostly discharged,
the auto idle stop f unction is disabled
(see page ).
The IMA battery is charged at a
higher rate when the transmission is
in LOW (L) range (see
page).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 perform 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 sufficiently
recharged by normal driving. 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.
