DISP Button
Press the DISP button to change
between modes.Distance to empty (km or mi.)
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 50 km (30
miles), “---” will be displayed and the dis-
tance to empty indicator will blink.
The meter’s working range is from 50 to
990 km (30 to 990 miles).

Features of your vehicle
Average speed (km/h or MPH)
This mode calculates the average speed
of the vehicle since the last average
speed reset.
Even if the vehicle is not in motion, the
average speed keeps going while the
engine is running.
Pressing the DISP button (or the RESET
button) for more than 1 second, when the
average speed is being displayed, clears
the average speed to zero (---). If the igni-
tion switch is turned to OFF for more than
2 hours, it will be reset automatically.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 going while the engine
is running.
The meter’s working range is from
0:00~99:59.
Pressing the DISP button (or the RESET
button) for more than 1 second, when the
driving time is being displayed, clears the
driving time to zero (0:00). If the ignition
switch is turned to OFF for more than 2
hours, it will be reset automatically.Average fuel consumption (if equipped)
(l/100 km or MPG)
This mode calculates the average fuel
consumption from the total fuel used and
the distance since the last average con-
sumption reset. The total fuel used is cal-
culated from the fuel consumption input.
For an accurate calculation, drive more
than 50 m (0.03 miles).
Pressing the DISP button (or the RESET
button) for more than 1 second, when the
average fuel consumption is being dis-
played, clears the average fuel consump-
tion to zero (---).
If the vehicle speed exceeds 1 km/h after
refueled more than 6 l, the average fuel
consumption will be cleared to zero (---).

Instant fuel consumption
(l/100 km or MPG)
This mode calculates the instant fuel
consumption every 0.2 second from the
driving distance and quantity of fuel
injection.
✽NOTICE
• If the vehicle is not on level ground or
the battery power has been interrupt-
ed, the “Distance to empty” function
may not operate correctly.
The trip computer may not register
additional fuel if less than 6 liters (1.6
gallons) of fuel are added to the vehi-
cle.
• The fuel consumption (if equipped)
and distance to empty values may
vary significantly based on driving
conditions, driving habits, and condi-
tion of the vehicle.
• The distance to empty value is an esti-
mate of the available driving distance.
This value may differ from the actual
driving distance available.
ECO Driving ON/OFF mode (if equipped)
You can turn the ECO indicator on/off on
the instrument cluster in this mode.
If you push the DISP button (or the
RESET button) more than 1 second in
the ECO Driving ON mode, ECO Driving
OFF is displayed in the screen and the
ECO indicator turns off while driving.
If you want to display the ECO indicator
again, press the DISP button (or the
RESET button) more than 1 second in
the ECO Driving OFF mode and then
ECO Driving ON mode is displayed in the
screen.

ECO indicator
(if equipped)
The ECO indicator is a system that
informs you to drive economically.
It is displayed if you drive fuel efficiently
to help you improve fuel efficiency.
• The ECO indicator (green) will turn on
when you are driving fuel efficiently in
the ECO Driving ON mode.
If you don't want the indicator dis-
played, you can turn the ECO Driving
ON mode to OFF mode by pressing
the DISP button (or the RESET but-
ton).
As per ECO Driving ON/OFF mode
operation, refer to the previous page.
• The fuel-efficiency can be changed by
the driver's driving habit and road con-
dition.
• It doesn't work at the condition which
doesn't meet economical driving such
as P (Park), N (Neutral), R (Reverse)
or sports mode.
• While the instant fuel consumption
mode is displayed on the LCD screen,
the ECO indicator turns off (if
equipped).
ECO-P indicator
(if equipped)
With intelligent accelerator
pedal (if equipped)
The ECO-P (pedal) indicator light will illu-
minate when the ECO-P button is
pressed. If the fuel efficiency is low, the
reactive force of intelligent accelerator
pedal will be increased. It is allow to con-
trol over excess acceleration and you can
drive fuel efficiently to help you improve
fuel efficiency.
If you press the ECO-P button again, the
indicator light turns off and the intelligent
accelerator pedal is not operated in ECO
driving mode.
For more information, refer to "Intelligent
accelerator pedal" in section 5.ECO-PWARNING
Don't keep watching the indicator
while driving. It will distract you
while driving and cause an acci-
dent that results in severe personal
injury.ECO

Driving your vehicle
E100000AEN
Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your style of driving, where you
drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how many
miles (kilometers) you can get from a gal-
lon (liter) of fuel. To operate your vehicle
as economically as possible, use the fol-
lowing driving suggestions to help save
money in both fuel and repairs:
• Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moder-
ate rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts
or full-throttle shifts and maintain a
steady cruising speed. Don't race
between stoplights. Try to adjust your
speed to that of the other traffic so you
don't have to change speeds unneces-
sarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever
possible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you can
avoid unnecessary braking. This also
reduces brake wear.
• Drive at a moderate speed. The faster
you drive, the more fuel your car uses.
Driving at a moderate speed, especial-
ly on the highway, is one of the most
effective ways to reduce fuel consump-
tion.• Don't "ride" the brake pedal. This can
increase fuel consumption and also
increase wear on these components.
In addition, driving with your foot rest-
ing on the brake pedal may cause the
brakes to overheat, which reduces
their effectiveness and may lead to
more serious consequences.
• Take care of your tires. Keep them
inflated to the recommended pressure.
Incorrect inflation, either too much or
too little, results in unnecessary tire
wear. Check the tire pressures at least
once a month.
• Be sure that the wheels are aligned
correctly. Improper alignment can
result from hitting curbs or driving too
fast over irregular surfaces. Poor align-
ment causes faster tire wear and may
also result in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption.• Keep your car in good condition. For
better fuel economy and reduced
maintenance costs, maintain your car
in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in section 7. If you drive your
car in severe conditions, more frequent
maintenance is required (see section 7
for details).
• Keep your car clean. For maximum
service, your vehicle should be kept
clean and free of corrosive materials. It
is especially important that mud, dirt,
ice, etc. not be allowed to accumulate
on the underside of the car. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel con-
sumption and also contribute to corro-
sion.
• Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary
weight in your car. Weight reduces fuel
economy.
• Don't let the engine idle longer than
necessary. If you are waiting (and not
in traffic), turn off your engine and
restart only when you're ready to go.

RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND CAPACITIES
I040000BBH
To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use only lubricants of the proper quality. The correct
lubricants also help promote engine efficiency that results in improved fuel economy.
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.
*1: Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.
*2: Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel economy by reducing
the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure in everyday driving, but in a year’s
time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.
*
3: If the API service SM or ACEA A5 engine oil is not available in your country, you are able to use API service SL or ACEA A3.Lubricant Volume Classification
