Odometer/Twin trip odometer (for Type C)
J\fI0002\bType CThe odometer/twin trip odometer is displayed when
the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.
The odometer
*1displays the total distance the
vehicle has been driven. When the odometer displays,
the display of TRIP A and B disappears.
The twin trip odometer
*2displays the distance of
individual trips.
Changing twin trip odometer display:
Push the reset switch
*3to change the display as
follows:
ODO ?TRIP A ?TRIP B ?ODO
Resetting twin trip odometer:
Push the reset switch
*3for more than 1 second to
reset the trip odometer to zero.
For trip computer information, see “Trip computer (for
Type C)” (P.2-25) .
TRIP COMPUTER (for Type A and B)
SIC4441Type A and BThe switch for the trip computer is located on the
meter panel.
When the ignition switch is placed in the “ON”
position, modes of the trip computer can be selected
by pushing the trip computer mode switch
*A.
Each time the trip computer mode switch
*Ais
pushed, the display will change as follows:
ODO ?(TRIP A ?TRIP B) ?Current fuel
consumption ?Average fuel consumption ?Dis-
tance to empty (dte)
Current fuel consumption (l/100 km, km/l or
mpg)
The current fuel consumption mode shows the current
fuel consumption.
Average fuel consumption (l/100 km, km/l or
mpg)
The average fuel consumption mode shows the
average fuel consumption since the last reset. Reset-
ting is done by pushing the trip computer mode switch
*Afor longer than 1 second.
The display is updated every 30 seconds. At about the
first 500 m after a reset, the display shows “----”.
Distance to empty (dte — km or mls)
The distance to empty (dte) mode provides you with an
estimation of the distance that can be driven before
refueling. 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.
The dte mode includes a low range warning feature:
when the fuel level is low, the dte mode is automatically
selected and the digits blink in order to draw the
driver’s attention. Push the trip computer mode switch
*Ato return to the mode that was selected before the
warning occurred.
When the fuel level drops even lower, the dte display
will change to “----”.
. If the amount of fuel added is small, the
display just before the ignition switch is
turned off may continue to be displayed.
. When driving uphill or rounding curves, the
fuel in the tank shifts, which may momenta-
rily change the display.

Adjust t\fe air flo\b direction of t\fe ventilators by
opening, closing or rotating.
WARNING:
.The heater and air conditioner operate only
when the engine is running.
. Never leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in the vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls and inadvertently be-
come involved in a serious accident and
injure themselves. On hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause se-
vere or possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
. Do not use the recirculation mode for long
periods as it may cause the interior air to
become stale and the windows to fog up.
. Do not adjust the heating and air condition-
ing controls while driving so that full atten-
tion may be given to vehicle operation.
T\fe \feater and air conditioner operate \b\fen t\fe
engine is running. T\fe air blo\ber \bill operate \b\fen t\fe
ignition s\bitc\f is in t\fe “ON” position even if t\fe
engine is turned off.
NOTE:
. Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odor
can enter the passenger compartment
through the vents.
. When parking, set the heater and air condi-
tioner controls to turn off air recirculation to
allow fresh air into the passenger compart-
ment. This should help reduce odors inside
the vehicle. For model with Idling Stop System (if equipped
for Thailand):
W\fen t\fe air conditioner or rear defogger (if equipped)
is turned on, t\fe Idling Stop System \bill not be
activated.
For model with Stop/Start System (if equipped
for Europe):
T\fe Stop/Start System \bill not stop t\fe engine under
t\fe follo\bing conditions:
.
T\fe front defogger mode is on. (automatic air
conditioner)
. T\fe air flo\b control dial is in t\fe front defogger
position. (manual air conditioner)
. T\fe rear \bindo\b defogger mode is on.
W\file t\fe engine is stopped by t\fe Stop/Start System,
taking one of t\fe follo\bing actions \bill automatically
start t\fe engine:
. Turn t\fe front defogger mode on. (automatic air
conditioner)
. Turn t\fe air flo\b control dial to t\fe front defogger
position. (manual air conditioner)
. Turn t\fe rear \bindo\b defogger mode on.
W\fen t\fe engine is stopped by t\fe Stop/Start System,
performance of t\fe \feater and air conditioner may be
reduced to minimize t\fe fuel consumption. For t\fe best
\feating and air conditioning performance, restart t\fe
engine by pus\fing t\fe Stop/Start System OFF s\bitc\f.

tion of the Idling Stop System. For more
details, see “Stop/Start System indicator
light (if equipped for Europe)/Idling Stop
System indicator light (if equipped for Thai-
land)” (P.2-18) or “Idling Stop System remin-
der buzzer (if equipped for Thailand)” (P.2-
19) .
. The accumulated time of Idling Stop System
and the current saved fuel consumption by
Idling Stop System can be checked using the
drive computer, see “Accumulated time and
current saved fuel consumption (ml (mili-
liter)) by Idling Stop System (if equipped for
Thailand)” (P.2-27) .
