Instrument Cluster and Display
Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge
Displays the engine coolant temperature.
The blue gauge indicates that the engine
coolant temperature is low, and the red
gauge indicates that the engine coolant
temperature is high and overheating.
CAUTION
If the high engine coolant temperature
warning light (red) turns on, there is
a possibility of overheating. Park the
vehicle in a safe place immediately and
take appropriate measures. If the vehicle
continues to be driven, it could cause
damage to the engine.
Refer to Overheating on page 7-24 .
NOTE
  The temperature unit (Centigrade/
Fahrenheit) of the engine coolant
gauge display changes in conjunction
with the temperature unit of the
outside temperature display.
 Refer to Personalisation Features on
page 9-10 .
  During normal driving, the engine
coolant temperature stabilizes at 100
°C (210 °F) or less, and the gauge
indicates a range lower than 100 °C
(210 °F).
  If the engine load increases and the
engine coolant temperature exceeds
100 °C (210 °F), the gauge indicates
the engine coolant temperature.
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.
Full
1/4 Full
Empty
If the fuel level is low, ( ) and ( ) turn an
amber colour. Refuel as soon as possible.

NOTE
  After refuelling, it may require some
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.
  The display indicating a quarter
or less remaining fuel has more
segments to show the remaining fuel
level in greater detail.
  The direction of the arrow ( )
indicates that the fuel-¿ ller À ap is on
the left side of the vehicle.
Outside Temperature Display
When the ignition is switched ON, the
outside temperature is displayed.
NOTE
Under the following conditions, the
outside temperature display may differ
from the actual outside temperature
depending on the surroundings and
vehicle conditions:
 


 Signi¿ cantly cold or hot
temperatures.
 


 Sudden changes in outside
temperature.
 


 The vehicle is parked.



 The vehicle is driven at low speeds.
Changing the Temperature Unit of the
Outside Temperature Display (Vehicles
with Type B/C)
The outside temperature unit can be
switched between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Settings can be changed by operating the
centre display screen.
Refer to Personalisation Features on page
9-10 .
NOTE
When the temperature unit indicated
in the outside temperature display is
changed, the temperature unit indicated
in the engine coolant gauge display
changes in conjunction with it.
Outside Temperature Warning
*
When the outside temperature is low, the
indicationÀ ashes and a beep sound is
heard to warn the driver of the possibility
of icy roads.
If the outside temperature is lower than
about 4 °C (39 °F), the outside temperature
display and the

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 suf¿ cient
amount of remaining driving distance
before refuelling 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 ¿ rst
purchasing your vehicle or the
information is deleted when the
battery leads are disconnected, the
actual distance-to empty/range may
differ from the amount indicated.
Average Fuel Economy
This mode displays the average fuel
economy by calculating the total fuel
consumption and the total travelled
distance since purchasing the vehicle, re-
connecting the battery after disconnection,
or resetting the data.
The average fuel economy is calculated
and displayed every minute.
To clear the data being displayed, press the
INFO switch for more than 1.5 seconds.
After pressing the INFO switch, - - - L/100
km (- - - mpg) will be displayed for about
1 minute before the fuel economy is
recalculated and displayed.
Current Fuel Economy
This displays the current fuel economy
by calculating the amount of fuel
consumption and the distance travelled.
Current fuel economy will be calculated
and displayed every two seconds.
When you've slowed to about 5 km/h (3
mph), - - - L/100 km (- - - mpg) will be
displayed.
