driving.
Your vehicle is equipped with both left-
hand and right-hand side view mirrors.
The mirrors can be adjusted remotely
with the remote switch. The mirror heads
can be folded back to prevent damage
during an automatic car wash or when
passing in a narrow street.
Blind spot mirror (if equipped)
The blind spot mirror (BSM) is supple-
mental mirror to help reduce a driver's
blind spot that will show the rear side ter-
ritory of your vehicle. The blind spot mir-
ror is equipped with the left-hand side
view mirror.
WARNING - Rearview mir-
rors
The right side view mirror is con-vex. Objects seen in the mirror
are closer than they appear.
Use your interior rearview mirror or direct observation to deter-
mine the actual distance of fol-
lowing vehicles when changing
lanes.
CAUTION
Do not scrape ice off the mirrorface; this may damage the surfaceof the glass. If ice should restrictmovement of the mirror, do notforce the mirror for adjustment. To remove ice, use a deicer spray, or asponge or soft cloth with warmwater.
CAUTION
If the mirror is jammed with ice, donot adjust the mirror by force. Usean approved spray de-icer (not radi-ator antifreeze) to release thefrozen mechanism or move thevehicle to a warm place and allowthe ice to melt.
WARNING
Do not adjust or fold the side view
mirrors while the vehicle is moving.
This could result in loss of control,
and an accident which could cause

Features of your vehicle
When the door is open, or if the engine is
not started within 1 minute, the tachometer
pointer may move slightly in ON position
with the engine OFF. This movement is
normal and will not affect the accuracy of
the tachometer once the engine is running.
Engine temperature gauge
This gauge shows the temperature of the
engine coolant when the ignition switch
is ON.
Do not continue driving with an overheat-
ed engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer
to "If the engine overheats" in section 6.
ORB045411N
CAUTION
If the gauge moves beyond the nor-mal range area toward the "H" posi-tion, it indicates overheating thatmay damage the engine.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine withinthe tachometer's RED ZONE.
This may cause severe engine dam-age.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. The engine
coolant is under pressure and
could cause severe burns. Wait
until the engine is cool before
adding coolant to the reservoir.

Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the approxi-
mate amount of fuel remaining in the fuel
tank.
The fuel tank capacity is given in
section 8.The fuel gauge is supplement-
ed by a low fuel warning light, which will
illuminate when the fuel tank is near
empty.
On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge
may fluctuate or the low fuel warning light
may come on earlier than usual due to
the movement of fuel in the tank.
Trip computer
The trip computer is a microcomputer
controlling the driver information system.
It displays information related to driving
on the LCD screen when the ignition
switch is in the ON position. If the battery
is disconnected, then all stored driving
information (except odometer) is reset.

Odometer (mi. or km)
The odometer indicates the total dis-
tance the vehicle has been driven.
You will also find the odometer useful to
determine when periodic maintenance
should be performed.Tripmeter (mi. or km)
TRIP A : Tripmeter A
TRIP B : Tripmeter B
This mode indicates the distance of indi-
vidual trips selected since the last trip-
meter reset.
The meter's working range is from 0.0 to
9999.9 miles (0.0 to 9999.9 km).

Distance to empty (mi. or km)
This mode indicates the estimated dis-
tance to empty based on the current fuel
in the fuel tank and the amount of fuel
delivered to the engine. When the
remaining distance is below 1 mile
(1 km), "---" will be displayed and the dis-
tance to empty indicator will blink.
The meter’s working range is from 1 to
999 miles (1 to 999 km).Average fuel consumption (if equipped)
(MPG or
l/100 km)
This mode calculates the average fuel
consumption from the total fuel used and
the distance since the last average econ-
omy reset. The total fuel used is calculat-
ed from the fuel consumption input. For
an accurate calculation, drive more than
0.03 miles (50 m).
Pressing the RESET button for more than
1 second, when the average fuel econo-
my is being displayed, clears the average
fuel consumption to zero (----).
If the vehicle speed exceeds 1.6 MPH
(1km/h) after being refueling, the average
fuel economy will be cleared to zero (----).Instant fuel consumption
(MPG or
l/100 km)
This mode calculates the instant fuel
consumption every 2 seconds from the
driving distance and quantity of fuel
injection.

speed to zero (---).Elapsed time
This mode indicates the total time trav-
eled since the last driving time reset.
Even if the vehicle is not in motion, the
driving time keeps increasing while the
engine is running.
The meter’s working range is from
00:00~99:59.
Pressing the RESET button for more
than 1 second, when the driving time is
being displayed, clears the driving time to
zero (00:00).Outside thermometer
(if equipped)

played in 1°C (1°F) increments. The tem-
perature range is between -40°C ~ 60°C
(-40°F ~ 140°F).
The outside temperature on the display
may not change immediately like a
general thermometer to prevent the
driver from being inattentive.
To convert from °C to °F or °F to °C press the trip button for more than 1
second in the Distance to empty (DTE)
mode.
