The display of positive temperatures is unsigned
(blank), negative temperatures are prefixed with a
minus sign.
Low temperature warning
Above 4°C the display remains steady.
The display will flash to indicate a low outside air
temperature, and the possibility of icy or slippery
road conditions:
•When the outside temperature drops between
–3°C and 3°C.
•When starting the vehicle below –3°C.
The temperature display will not flash:
•After approximately 20 seconds, when starting
the vehicle and the outside temperature is below
–3°C.
•When the outside temperature rises from below
–3°C into the range between –3°C and 3°C.
•While driving, when the outside temperature
drops below –3°C.CAUTION
Even if the display is not flashing, there is no
guarantee that the road is free of hazards caused
by inclement weather.
NOTE
The outside air temperature sensor is located at
the front of the vehicle. At low speeds the sensor
can be affected by engine heat, heat reflected
from the road surface and exhaust from other
vehicles, these influences can cause the display
to be inaccurate. To compensate, the outside air
temperature display is designed to react slowly
to increasing temperatures, but quickly to falling
temperatures.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL INFORMATION
(where fitted)
When the ignition is turned to the ON position, dis-
tance to oil change informationand oil level sta-
tus are displayed on the LCD displayjE in the fol-
lowing order:
– Distance to oil change (with a wrench symbol
)
– Oil level status (“Oil Good” or “Oil Lo”)
Only for models with HR16DE or K9K engine.
For details, see “HR16DE or K9K engine oil level
status” later in this section.
After the oil level status (where fitted), the LCD dis-
play switches to the last twin trip odometer/trip com-

distance by 1,000 km (500 miles). The interval dis-
tance can be set up to 63,000 km (31,500 miles)
after which the display returns to zero.
If no further action is made, the display returns to oil
level status mode and the new interval is set.
If the interval distance is set to 0, the display will
skip the distance to oil change information and
wrench symbol display mode and will directly dis-
play the oil level status (“Oil Good” or “Oil Lo” –
