Odometer
The odometer records the total
distance the vehicle has been driven.
Tr i p m e te r
The driving distance for a
specified
interval is indicated. Two types (TRIP A,
TRIP B) of interval distance can be
measured.

For instance, trip meter A can record
the distance from the point of origin,
and trip meter B can record the
distance from where the fuel tank is
filled.

When trip meter A is selected, TRIP A
will be displayed. When trip meter B is
selected, TRIP B will be displayed.

The trip meter can be reset by pressing
the TRIP switch for 1.5 seconds or
more while the trip meter is displayed.
NOTE
Only the trip meters record tenths of
kilometers (miles).

▼Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge
Displays the engine coolant
temperature. The blue range of the
gauge indicates that the engine coolant
temperature is low, and the red range
of the gauge indicates that the engine
coolant temperature is high and
overheating.

CAUTION
When the engine coolant temperature
gauge needle is in the red range, the
engine coolant temperature is
extremely high. Drive slowly to reduce
engine load. If the engine coolant
temperature gauge needle is in the red
range, there is the possibility of
overheating. Park the vehicle in a safe
place immediately and take
appropriate measures.
Refer to Overheating on page 7-21.
NOTE
If the engine or engine coolant
temperature is high or low, the
engine output may be restricted to
protect the engine.
▼Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge shows approximately
how much fuel is remaining in the tank
when the ignition is switched ON. We
recommend keeping the tank over 1/4
full.

If the low fuel warning light illuminates
or the fuel level is very low, refuel as
soon as possible.
If inconsistency in engine performance
or stalling occurs due to low fuel level
conditions, refuel the vehicle as soon
as possible and add at least 10 L (2.7
US gal, 2.2 Imp gal) of fuel.
Refer to Low Fuel Warning Indication/
Warning Light on page 7-35.

time for the indicator to stabilize. In
addition, the indicator may deviate
while driving on a slope or curve
since the fuel moves in the tank.

▼Distance-to-empty
This displays the approximate distance
you can travel on the remaining fuel
based on the fuel economy.
The distance-to-empty will be
calculated and displayed every second.

NOTE
Even though the distance-to-empty
display may indicate a su
fficient
amount of remaining driving distance
before refueling is required, refuel as
soon as possible if the fuel level is
very low or the low fuel warning light
illuminates.
The display will not change unless
you add more than approximately 9
L (2.3 US gal, 1.9 Imp gal) of fuel.
The distance-to-empty is the
approximate remaining distance the
vehicle can be driven until all the
graduation marks in the fuel gauge
indicating the remaining fuel supply
disappear.
If there is no past fuel economy
information such as after first
purchasing your vehicle or the
information is deleted when the
battery cables are disconnected, the
actual distance-to empty/range may di ffer from the amount indicated.
▼ Average Fuel Economy
The average fuel economy is calculated
every 30 seconds from the total
traveled distance on the trip meter and
the total fuel consumption, and the
average fuel economy for either drive
information display is displayed.
The average fuel economy is also
displayed by a red arrow in the
instantaneous fuel economy display.

The average fuel economy and trip
meters can be reset by pressing the
INFO switch for 1.5 seconds or more
while in each mode. After the data is
cleared, the fuel consumption is
recalculated and the - - - L/100 km
(- - - mpg) for the 30 seconds prior to
it being displayed is indicated.
▼Current Fuel Economy
This displays the current fuel economy
by calculating the amount of fuel
consumption and the distance
traveled.
