NOTE●If the driving range drops below 50 km (30 miles) while
the driving range is displaye d, the display shows “---”.
When this occurs, top up the fu el tank as soon as possible.
● The driving range varies depending on road conditions,
the manner of driving and other related factors. Conse-
quently, the display should be used only as a guide. It is
recommended that you add fuel as soon as the low fuel
warning lamp in the instrument cluster illuminates.
(Refer to “Low fuel warning lamp” on page 3-6.)
● Refueling will update the driving range indication.
● The driving range displayed is based on previous fuel con-
sumption data. Disconnecting the battery cable will result
in the deletion of existing fuel consumption data, which
will affect the unit’s calculations.
● The driving range figure can occasionally increase if the
vehicle is stopped on an inclin e. This is because the fuel
has moved in the tank because of the incline and is not
considered to be a fault.
Average speedE00509500059

The angle of the headlamp b eam varies depending upon the

The headlamp levelling switch (A) can be used to adjust the
headlamp illumination distance (when the lower beam is illu-
minated) so that the headlamps’ glare does not distract the
drivers of approaching vehicles.
Set the switch (referring to the following table) to the appropri-
ate position according to the numb er of people and the load in
