 Current fuel consumption on the information di splay is updated approximately every 0.5 seconds.
 Current fuel consumption on the information displa y shows 0 l/100km (0 mpg) when vehicle speed is 0 km/h
(0 MPH).
Average Fuel Consumption
The combination meter calculates average fuel c onsumption based on the following signals, and the calcu-
lated value is displayed on the information display.
NOTE:
 Average fuel consumption on the information display is updated approximately every 30 seconds.
 Soon after a reset or when the ignition switch is turned ON right after battery removal and installation, “ −−−”
is displayed until after a travel of 30 seconds and approximately 500 m (0.31 mile).
Distance to Empty
The combination meter calculates distance to empty based on the following signals, and the calculated value
is displayed on the information display.
NOTE:
 Distance to empty on the information display is updated approximately every 30 seconds.
 When the ignition switch is turned from OFF to ON, “ −−−” is displayed until after a travel of approximately
500 m (0.31 mile).
 The indicated values may not match each other when refueling with the ignition switch ON.
Average Vehicle Speed
The combination meter calculates average vehicle speed based on the following signals, and the calculated
value is displayed on the information display.
NOTE:
 Average vehicle speed on the information disp lay is updated approximately every 30 seconds.
 Soon after a reset or when the ignition switch is turned ON right after battery removal and installation, “ −−−”
is displayed until after a 30 seconds.

SYSTEM
The combination meter measures and displays travel time (ignition switch ON time).
Travel Distance
The combination meter calculates mileage, based on the following signals and displays the mileage on the
information display.
Ambient Temperature
 The combination meter corrects an indicated temperature, based on various signals.
 The combination meter calculates ambient air temperature based on the following signals, and the calcu-
lated value is displayed on the information display.
Correction Process (Temperature indicated soon after the ignition switch ON) A temperature indicated soon after the ignition switch is turned ON depends on the time from the ignition switch OFF to ON and a temperatur e detected by the ambient sensor.
When any condition described below is met, an ambient sensor-detected temperature is indicated.- Time from the ignition switch OFF to ON ≥ Predetermined time
- Sensor-detected temperature < Temperat ure at the last ignition switch OFF
Correction Process (Temperature at the Ignition switch ON) A temperature indicated when the ignition switch is ON depends on a vehicle speed, an ambient sensor-
detected temperature, and traveling time.
The temperature on the information display is corrected to an am bient sensor-detected temperature when the following condition
is met.
- Ambient sensor-detected temperature < Temperature on the information display
A temperature on the information display is no t updated when the following condition is met.
- Ambient sensor-detected temperature ≥ Temperature on the information display
- Vehicle speed ≤ 20 km/h (12 MPH)
A temperature on the information display slowly rises to an ambient sensor-detected temperature when the following condition is
met.
- Ambient sensor-detected temperature ≥ Temperature on the information display
- Vehicle speed ≥ 20 km/h (12 MPH)
A temperature on the information display rapidly rises to an ambient sensor-detected temperature when the following condition
is met.
- Ambient sensor-detected temperature ≥ Temperature on the information display
- Vehicle speed ≥ 20 km/h (12 MPH)
- When driving more than set time
A/C auto amp. connection recognition
 The combination meter judges the A/C auto amp. connection/disconnection, based on an A/C auto amp.
connection recognition signal to judge the presence/ absence of the ambient sensor power output.
NOTE:
 After an ignition switch is turned ON, “–––” is displayed until after a 2.5 seconds.

 The ambient sensor input value that is displayed on “Data Monitor” of CONSULT-III is the value before the
correction. It may not match the indica ted temperature on the information display.
 After removal and installation of the battery and comb ination meter, an ambient sensor-detected tempera-
ture is indicated on the information display.
 Depending on engine heat or heat on the road surfaces, an ambient temperature may be indicated higher
than actual one.

W/L ON HISTORY
 Stores histories when warning/indicator lamp is turned on.
 “W/L ON HISTORY” indicates the “TIME” when the warning/ indicator lamp is turned on.
 The “TIME” above is:
- 0: The condition that the warning/indicator lamp has been turned on 1 or more times after starting the engine and waiting for 30 seconds.
- 1 - 39: The number of times the engine was restarted after the 0 condition.
- NO W/L ON HISTORY: Stores NO (0) turning on history of warning/indicator lamp.
NOTE:
 W/L ON HISTORY is not stored for approximately 30 seconds after the engine starts.
 Brake warning lamp does not store any history when the parking brake is applied or the brake fluid level gets
low.
