speed displayed at that time is reset.

When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position
from the “ACC” or “LOCK” position, the mode setting
changes automatically from manual to auto.

manual mode is done, however, the data from the last
reset is displayed.
Auto reset mode

When the average speed is being displayed, if you hold
down the multi-information meter switch, these calcula-
tions will be reset to zero.

When the ignition switch has been set to the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position for about 4 hours or more, the average
speed display will automatically reset.NOTE
The average speed display and the average fuel consump-
tion display can be reset separately in both auto reset
mode and manual reset mode.

“---” is displayed when the average speed cannot be mea-
sured.
The initial (default) setting is “Auto reset mode”.

The display setting can be changed to the preferred units
(mph or km/h).
Refer to “Changing the function settings (With ignition
switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-201.

The average speed display memories for auto reset mode
and manual reset mode are erased if the battery is discon-
nected.
Average fuel consumption displayThis displays the average fuel consumption from the last reset
to the present.
There are 2 types of mode settings as follows.
For details on how to change the average fuel consumption dis-
play setting, refer to “Changing the function settings (With
ignition switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-201.
The “ ” mark in the momentary fuel gauge shows the average
fuel consumption. (Type 2)
Manual reset mode

When the average fuel consumption is being displayed, if
you hold down the multi-information meter switch, the
average fuel consumption displayed at that time is reset.

When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position
from the “ACC” or “LOCK” position, the mode setting
changes automatically from manual to auto.
Switching to auto occurs automatically. If switching to
manual mode is done, however, the data from the last

Auto reset mode

When the average fuel consumption is being displayed, if
you hold down the multi-information meter switch, these
calculations will be reset to zero.

When the ignition switch has been set to the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position for about 4 hours or more, the average
speed display will automatically reset. NOTE
The average speed display and the average fuel consump-
tion display can be reset separately in both auto reset
mode and manual reset mode.

“---” is displayed when the average fuel consumption can-
not be measured.

The initial (default) setting is “Auto reset mode”.

Average fuel consumption may vary depend on the driv-
ing conditions (road conditions, how you drive, etc.) The
actual fuel consumption may differ from the fuel con-
sumption displayed, so treat the fuel consumption dis-
played as just a rough guideline.

The average fuel consumption display memories for auto
reset mode and manual reset mode are erased if the battery
is disconnected.

The display setting can be changed to the preferred units
{mpg (US), mpg (UK), L/100 km or km/L}.
Refer to “Changing the function settings (With ignition
switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-201.
Momentary fuel consumption displayWhile driving, the momentary fuel consumption is shown with
a bar graph.
When the momentary fuel consumption surpasses the average
fuel consumption, the momentary fuel consumption is dis-
played with a green bar graph. (Type 2)
Be conscious of maintaining the momentary fuel consumption
above the average fuel consumption, it can help you drive with
the better fuel consumption.NOTE
When the momentary fuel consumption cannot be mea-
sured, a bar graph is not shown.

The display setting can be changed to the preferred units
{mpg (US), mpg (UK), L/100 km or km/L}.
Refer to “Changing the function settings (With ignition
switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-201.

It is possible to cancel the green bar graph.
Refer to “Changing the function settings (With ignition
switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-201.Function setting screenThe “Display language”, “Temperature unit”, “Fuel consump-
tion unit”, and “Average fuel consumption and speed reset
method” settings can be modified as desired.
