sure is exceeded.
Oil Temperature Gauge:
Displays the temperature of the engine oil. The display flashes when the
engine oil exceeds 284°F (140°C).
Oil Pressure Gauge:
Displays the oil pressure for the engine interior. A buzzer sounds and warning
message is displayed when the oil pressure gets low. ( P. 5 5 6 )
Depending on the road conditions, temperature, vehicle speed, etc., the actual
vehicle condition on the display screen may differ.
Use the display screen as a reference.

NOTICE
■When using a high pressure car wash
●When washing the vehicle, do not spray the camera or its surrounding area directly
with a high pressure washer. Shock applie d from high pressure water may cause the
device to not operate normally.
●Do not bring the nozzle tip close to boots (rubber or resin manufactured cover), con-
nectors or the following parts. The parts may be damaged if they come into contact
with high-pressure water.
■Hood vent (RC F)
• Traction related parts
• Steering parts • Suspension parts
•Brake parts
●RC F: Do not point the nozzle of a high pres-
sure washer at the areas shown in the illustra-
tion, as high pressure water may damage the
oil coolers.
When washing the vehicle, do not allow a large
amount of water to enter
the hood vent at once,
such as when using a bucket, etc. or point the
nozzle of a high pressure washer at the hood
vent.
Water may get inside the engine compartment
and affect the engine and other components.
