◆Display items
■Odometer
Displays the total distance the vehicle has been driven.
■Trip meter A/trip meter B
Displays the distance the vehicle has been driven since the meter was last
reset. Trip meters A and B can be used to record and display different dis-
tances independently.
To reset, display the desired trip meter and press and hold the odometer/trip meter
and trip meter reset button.
■ Distance until next engine oil change
Displays the distance the vehicle can be driven until an oil change is neces-
sary.
◆Pop-up display
In some situations the following will be temporarily displayed:
■ Distance until next engine oil change
Displays the distance until the next engi ne oil change. This display will be dis-
played in the following situations:
• When the engine switch is tu rned to IGNITION ON mode.
• When a warning message indicating that oil maintenance should be performed
soon or is required is displayed.

■Eco Driving Indicator
Eco Driving Indicator will not operate under the following conditions:
●The shift lever is in any position other than D.
●A paddle shift switch is operated.
●Neither normal mode nor Eco drive mode is selected. ( P. 301)
●The vehicle speed is approximately 80 mph (130 km/h) or higher.
■Background color of the indicator/shift posi tion display area (except F SPORT models)
The background color of the indicator/shift position display area is changed according to
the driving mode as follows ( P. 301):
●Eco drive mode: Blue
●Sport mode: Red
■G-force display (if equipped)
The G-force values may not be zero even when the vehicle is parked, such as when it is
parked on an incline.
■Suspension of the settings display
●Some settings cannot be changed while driv ing. When changing settings, park the
vehicle in a safe place.
●If a warning message is displa yed, operation of the settings display will be suspended.
■Tire pressure
●It may take a few minutes to display the tire inflation pressure after the engine switch is
turned to IGNITION ON mode. It may also take a few minutes to display the tire infla-
tion pressure after inflation pressure has been adjusted.
●“---” may be displayed if the tire position information cannot be determined due to
unfavorable radio wave conditions.
●Tire inflation pressure changes with temperat ure. The displayed values may also be dif-
ferent from the values measured using a tire pressure gauge. Eco Driving Indicator Light
During Eco-friendly acceleration (Eco driv-
ing), the Eco Driving Indicator Light will turn
on. When the acceleration exceeds the Zone
of Eco driving, or when the vehicle is stopped,
the light turns off.
Eco Driving Indicator Zone Display
Suggests the Zone of Eco driving with current
Eco driving ratio based on acceleration.
Eco driving ratio based on acceleration
If the acceleration exceeds the Zone of Eco
driving, the right side of the Eco Driving Indi-
cator Zone Display will illuminate.

■Liquid crystal display
Small spots or light spots may appear on the display. This phenomenon is characteristic
of liquid crystal displays, and there is no problem continuing to use the display.
■Customization
Some functions can be customized. ( P. 111, 569)
WARNING
■Caution for use while driving
●When operating the multi-information display while driving, pay extra attention to the
safety of the area around the vehicle.
●Do not look continuously at the multi-info rmation display while driving as you may fail
to see pedestrians, objects on the road, etc. ahead of the vehicle.
■The information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal information
display. At extremely low temperatures, th e information display monitor may respond
slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the dr iver’s shifting and the new gear number
appearing on the display. This lag could ca use the driver to downshift again, causing
rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an accident resulting in death or
injury.
■Cautions during setting up the display
As the engine needs to be running during sett ing up the display, ensure that the vehicle
is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area such as a garage,
exhaust gases including harmful carbon mo noxide (CO) may collect and enter the
vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
NOTICE
■While setting up the display
To prevent battery discharge, ensure that the engine is running while setting up the dis-
play features.

*1:Resetting: P. 119
*2: Use the displayed fuel consumption as a reference.
*3: When only a small amount of fuel is added to the tank, the display may not be
updated.
When refueling, turn the engine switch off. If the vehicle is refueled without turning the
engine switch off, the display may not be updated.
*4: This distance is computed based on your average fuel consumption. As a result, the
actual distance that can be driven may differ from that displayed.
■Tire pressure
 P. 413
■Gear positions
Displays the current gear position when the shift lever is in D or M.
■Vehicle sway warning
Detects the sway of the vehicle within a lane, which is often associated with a
decrease in the driver’s at tention level, and displays the decrease in attention
using a bar display.
The shorter the bar length, the more the driver may need to rest.
This display is a part of the LDA (Lane Departure Alert with steering control) sys-
tem. The display is enabled when the op erating conditions of the vehicle sway
warning are met. ( P. 261)
■Units
The units of measure used can be changed while driving.
Unlike the units setting performed on , the units setting performed on can
be changed while driving.
■Blank (No items)
Displays no drive information contents.

■G-force display
●The G-force values may not be zero even when the vehicle is parked, such as when it is
parked on an incline.
●The steering amount, accelerator pedal input, and brake fluid pressure displays are dis-
abled until the engine has warmed up (the variable red zone of the tachometer has
retracted to 7300 rpm).
After the engine has warmed up, these displays will be enabled.
●Depending on the vehicle usage conditions, the brake fluid pressure display may not
reach its maximum reading even though the brake pedal is fully depressed.
●If a battery terminal is disconnected and reconnected, the steering amount display may
be disabled temporarily. Afte r driving the vehicle for a while , the display will be enabled.
■Suspension of the settings display
In the following situations, op eration of the settings display will be temporarily sus-
pended.
●When a warning message appears on the multi-information display
●When the vehicle begins to move
■Tire pressure
●It may take a few minutes to display the tire inflation pressure after the engine switch is
turned to IGNITION ON mode. It may also take a few minutes to display the tire infla-
tion pressure after inflation pressure has been adjusted.
●“---” may be displayed if the tire position information cannot be determined due to
unfavorable radio wave conditions.
●Tire inflation pressure changes with temperat ure. The displayed values may also be dif-
ferent from the values measured using a tire pressure gauge.
■When disconnecting and reconnecting battery terminals
The following information data will be reset:
●Drive information
●Lap timer: Measured lap times, history
●G-force: Record of the maximum G-forces
■Using the lap timer
If the engine is stopped while a lap is being timed, the lap timer will stop and the lap time
up to that point will be recorded.
■Liquid crystal display
Small spots or light spots may appear on the display. This phenomenon is characteristic
of liquid crystal displays, and there is no problem continuing to use the display.
