& Outside temperature indica-
tor1) U.S.-spec. models
2) Except U.S.-spec. modelsThe outside temperature indicator shows
the outside temperature in a range from
22 to 122 8F( 30 to 50 8C).
The indicator can give a false reading
under any of the following conditions:
. When there is too much sun.
. During idling; while running at low
speeds in a traffic jam; when the engine
is restarted immediately following a shut-
down.
. When the actual outside temperature
falls outside the specified indicator range. !
Road surface freeze warning indi-
cation
1) U.S.-spec. models
2) Except U.S.-spec. modelsWhen the outside temperature drops to
378F(3 8C) or lower, the temperature
indication flashes to show that the road
surface may be frozen.
If the outside temperature drops to 37 8F
(3 8C) or lower while the display is giving
an indication other than the outside
temperature, the display switches to the
outside temperature indication and flashes
for 5 seconds before returning to its
original indication.
If the display is already indicating an
outside temperature of 37 8F(3 8C) or lower
when the ignition switch is turned to the “
ON ”position, the indication does not
flash.
NOTEThe outside temper ature indication
may differ from the actual outside
temperature. The road surface freeze
warning indication should be treated
only as a guide. Be sure to check the
condition of the road surface before
driving.& Current fuel consumption (if
equipped)This indication shows the rate of fuel
consumption at the present moment.

& Average fuel consumption1) U.S.-spec. models
2) Except U.S.-spec. modelsThis indication shows the average rate of
fuel consumption since the trip meter was
last reset.
When either of the trip meter indications is
reset, the corresponding average fuel
consumption value is also reset.NOTE. The indicated values vary in accor-
dance with changes in the vehicle ’s
running conditions. Also, the indicated
values may differ slightly from the
actual values and should thus be
treated only as a guide.
. When either trip meter indication is
reset, the average fuel consumption corresponding to that trip meter indica-
tion is not shown until the vehicle has
subsequently covered a distance of 1
mile (or 1 km).
&
Turn off display of fuel con-
sumption indicatorThe display of the fuel consumption
indicator can be turned off.
To turn off the display of the indicator, turn
the ignition switch to the “LOCK”position
and press the “+”button adjacent to the
information display for approximately 5
seconds. Then, the information display
and the clock display will blink for 3
seconds to notify that the display of the
fuel consumption has been turned off.
To restore the indicator, once again press
the “+”button for approximately 5 sec-
onds.NOTE. The initial display setting of the fuel
consumption indicator of your vehicle
has been set to operational at the time
of shipment from the factory.
. The average fuel consumption is
calculated even while the indicator is
not displayed.
. Even if you turn off the fuel con-
sumption indicator, the fuel consump-
tion indicator will automatically turn on when the battery voltage is discon-
nected and then reconnected for bat-
tery replacement or fuse replacement.

Illumination brightness con-
trolThe brightness of clock display, audio, air
conditioner, information display and instru-
ment panel illumination dims when the
light switch is in the “
”or “
”
positions. You can adjust brightness of
the instrument panel illumination for better
visibility.
You can also adjust the brightness of the
instrument panel illumination when the
lighting switch is in the “OFF”position.
To brighten, turn the control dial upward.
To darken, turn the control dial downward.
NOTEWhen the control dial is turned fully
upward, the illumination brightness
becomes the maximum and the auto-
matic dimming function does not work
at all.
Headlight beam leveler (if
equipped)The vehicle has High-Intensity Discharge
(HID) headlights on the low beam setting.
The HID headlights generate more light
than conventional halogen headlights.
Therefore a driver of an oncoming vehicle
may experience too much glare when your
headlight beam height adjustment is high
due to the vehicle carrying a heavy load.
The headlight beam leveler can be used
to adjust beam height to avoid such a
condition.
Adjust the headlight beam level with the
following dial positions according to the
number of passengers and load condition.
