If the electrical power source has been disconnected from the
multi−information display, the display will automatically be set
to the initial mode.
When the instrument panel lights are turned on, the brightness
of the display will be reduced.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the display while the vehicle is moving.
Be sure to adjust the display only when the vehicle is
stopped.
(1) Instantaneous fuel consumption (“MPG” or “L/100km”)

displayed based on distance and fuel consumption for 2
seconds with the engine running.
The displayed value is updated every 2 seconds.
Note that an accurate figure may not be shown in the following
cases.
 The vehicle is stopped with the engine running. (The display
will indicate the extremely high fuel consumption.)
 The vehicle is driving down a long slope applying the engine
brake. (The display will indicate the extremely low fuel
consumption.)

is calculated and displayed based on the quantity of
remaining fuel and past fuel consumption.
The driving range display indicates the approximate distance
that you can drive until the fuel gauge reaches “E”. It is dif ferent
from the actual distance traveled.
The displayed value is updated every time the fuel equivalent
for 1 mile or 1 km is consumed.
Every time you refuel the vehicle, the calculation is reset.
The actual driving range varies with driving habits and road
conditions. If fuel consumption is good, the driving range will
be longer than indicated. If fuel consumption is poor, the
driving range will be shorter than indicated.
If the low fuel level warning light comes on, refuel the vehicle
even if the display indicates that the vehicle can be driven
further.
(4) Average vehicle speed (“AVG. MPH” or “AVG. km/h”)

on total driving distance and total driving time with the
engine running.
The displayed value is updated every 10 seconds.
To reset the calculations, push and hold the “DISP” button.
(5) Driving time(“E/T”)
The elapsed time after the engine starts is displayed.
When the engine is started, driving time is counted from 0:00.
