SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the vehicle speed. Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate fuel level
in the tank when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
The gauge may move slightly during braking, turn-
ing, accelerating, or going up and down hills due to
movement of fuel in the tank.
The low fuel warning appears on the vehicle infor-
mation display when the fuel level in the tank is get-
ting low. Refuel as soon as it is convenient, prefer-
ably before the gauge reads the empty (0) position.
The arrow, ,i
ndicates that the fuel filler lid is
located on the left side of the vehicle.
CAUTION
Refuel before the gauge reads the empty (0) po-
sition.
There is asmall reserve of fuel in the tank when the
fuel gauge reads the empty (0) position. Odometer
Distance to empty (dte
—kmormile):
The distance to empty (dte) ➀provides you with an
estimation of the distance that can be driven before
refuelling. The dte is constantly being calculated,
based on the amount of fuel in the fuel tank and the
actual fuel consumption.
The display is updated every 30 seconds. NIC2704 JVI0602XZ JVI1041XZ

Doing so may result in drivetrain damage or
unexpected vehicle movement which could
result in serious vehicle damage or personal
injury.
• Do not attempt to test
a4WD equipped ve-
hicle on a2-wheel dynamometer or similar
equipment even if the other two wheels are
raised off the ground. Make sure you inform
test facility personnel that your vehicle is
equipped with 4WD before it is placed on a
dynamometer. Using the wrong test equip-
ment may result in drivetrain damage or unex-
pected vehicle movement which could result
in serious vehicle damage or personal injury.
CAUTION
• Do not drive the vehicle in the <4H> or <4LO>
position on dry hard surface roads. Driving on
dry, hard surfaces in <4H> or <4LO> may
cause unnecessary noise, tyre wear and in-
creased fuel consumption.
If the Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) warning light
turns on when driving on dry hard surface
roads:
–i
nthe <4H> position, shift the 4WD mode
switch to <2WD>. –i
nthe <4LO> position, stop the vehicle and
shift the transmission lever to the N(Neu-
tral) position with the brake pedal
depressed and shift the 4WD mode switch
to <2WD>.
If the 4WD warning light is still on after the
above operation, have your vehicle
checked by an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop as soon as possible.

WARNING
AT model: If the 4WD mode indicator is “OFF” or
the ATP warning light is “ON”, this indicates that
the automatic transmission P(Park) position will
not function and could result in the vehicle mov-
ing unexpectedly, causing serious personal in-
jury or property damage. Always set the parking
brake.
CAUTION
To avoid vehicle damage:
• Do not operate the 4WD mode switch when
cornering, reversing or if the rear wheels are
spinning freely. The vehicle must be moving
straight ahead.
• Do not move the shift lever (AT model) or
release the clutch pedal (MT model) when the
4LO indicator is blinking. Failure to do this
may cause the gears to grind and damaging
the powertrain.
• MT model: Do not accelerate rapidly from a
stopped position when the 4LO indicator is
blinking. Drive straight ahead at
alow speed
until the 4LO indicator is lit. The 4LO indicator
blinks when shifting between <4LO> and
<4H>.
• If the 4WD warning light comes on, perform
the following procedure:
1) Turn off the engine.
2) Start the engine. 3) Check if the 4WD warning light comes on.
If the 4WD warning light is still on after following
the above procedure, have the system checked
and serviced immediately by an approved dealer
or qualified workshop.
The transfer case 4WD mode switch is used to
select either Two-Wheel Drive (2WD) or
Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) depending on the driving
conditions. Turn the 4WD mode switch to select a drive mode (<2WD>, <4H> or <4LO>).
To change into or out of 4LO mode:
1. The vehicle MUST BE standing still.
2. Depress the clutch pedal (MT model) and the brake pedal and move the shift lever to N(Neu-
tral).
3. Depress and turn the 4WD mode switch to change into or out of <4LO>. WARNING
• When parking, apply the parking brake before
stopping the engine and make sure that the
4WD mode indicator is on and that the ATP
warning light or ATP warning message is off,
otherwise, the vehicle could unexpectedly
move even if the automatic transmission is in
the P(Park) position.
• The 4LO indicator must stop blinking and re-
main on or turn off before shifting the trans-
mission into gear. The vehicle may move un- expectedly if the shift lever is shifted from the
N(
Neutral) position to any other gear while
the 4LO indicator is blinking.
CAUTION
• Never turn the 4WD mode switch between
<4LO> and <4H> while driving.
• The <4H> drive mode provides greater power
and traction. Avoid excessive speed as it will
cause increased fuel consumption and higher
oil temperatures, and could damage power
train components. Speeds over 100 km/h (60
MPH) in <4H> are not recommended.
• The <4LO> drive mode provides maximum
power and traction. Avoid raising vehicle
speed excessively. The maximum speed is
