The meters and display illuminate when
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode. ■
Welcome illumination of the analog speedometer●
When the driver’s door is opened, th e analog speedometer will illuminate.
Then, when the driver’s door is closed, the analog spee dometer will illuminate and go
off (pulsate) 3 times. ●
In the following situations, the analog sp eedometer will not pulsate even though the
driver’s door is opened and closed:
• Within 60 seconds after the an alog meter pulsation completes
• Within 60 seconds of turning the engine switch off ■
Variable red zone
■
Eco driving meter ●
The number of blue segments displayed on the eco driving meter decreases/increases
depending on the vehicle acceleration. Use th is meter as a guideline when you wish to
drive in an eco-friendly manner that reduces fuel consumption.
However, on a downward grade where the ve hicle can accelerate without the acceler-
ator pedal being depressed, the eco driv ing meter may not display the eco-driving
state correctly. ●
When the shift lever is moved to P, N or R, the segments will turn gray and the eco driv-
ing meter will not operate.To help protect the engine, the engine speed is
controlled by starting the red zone of the
tachometer at different engine speeds ranging
from 3700 rpm to 7300 rpm depending on the
engine coolant temperature.
Before driving under extremely high load condi-
tions, make sure to su fficiently warm up the
engine.
