Electrochromic Mirror (ECM)
(if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automat-
ically controls the glare from the
headlights of the vehicles behind you
in nighttime or low light driving condi-
tions. The sensor mounted in the mir-
ror senses the light level around the
vehicle, and automatically controls
the headlight glare from the vehicles
behind you.
When the engine is running, the
glare is automatically controlled by
the sensor mounted in the rearview
mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted
into reverse (R), the mirror will auto-
matically go to the brightest setting in
order to improve the drivers view
behind the vehicle.
To operate the electric rearview mir-
ror:
The mirror defaults to the ON posi-tion whenever the ignition switch is
turned on.

Features of your vehicle
When the door is opened, or if the
engine is not started within 1 minute,
the tachometer pointer may move
slightly in the ON position with the
engine OFF. This movement is nor-
mal 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 igni-
tion switch is ON.
Do not continue driving with an over-
heated engine. If your vehicle over-
heats, refer to “If the engine over-
heats” in section 6.If the gauge pointer moves beyond
the normal range area toward the “H”
position, it indicates overheating that
may damage the engine.
CAUTION- Red zone
Do not operate the engine with-
in the tachometer's RED ZONE.
This may cause severe enginedamage.
WARNING- Hot radiator
Never remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. The
engine coolant is under pres-

Tripmeter
TRIP A : Tripmeter A
TRIP B : Tripmeter B
This mode indicates the distance of
individual trips selected since the
last tripmeter reset.
The meter's working range is from
0.0 to 999.9 km (0.0 to 999.9 miles).
Pressing the RESET button, when
the tripmeter (TRIP A or TRIP B) is
being displayed, clears the tripmeter
to zero (0.0). Distance to empty (km or mi.)
This mode indicates the estimated
distance to empty based on the cur-
rent 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 distance to empty
indicator (RANGE) will blink until the
vehicle is refueled.
The meter’s working range is from 50
to 990 km (30 to 990 miles).Average fuel consumption
(l/100 km or MPG)
This mode calculates the average
fuel consumption from the total fuel
used and the distance since the last
average consumption reset. The total
fuel used is calculated from the fuel
consumption input. For an accurate
calculation, drive more than 50 m
(0.03 miles).
Pressing the RESET button for more
than 1 second, when the average
fuel consumption is being displayed,
clears the average fuel consumption
to zero (--.-).
