Average fuel consumption
If you selected average fuel consumption
the last time you drove the vehicle, the dis-
play shows the last value of average fuel
consumption from previous driving when
the engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode to “ON”. Unless you reset
the value of average fuel consumption, the
display indicates the value of average fuel
consumption which includes average fuel
consumption during previous driving.
NOTE:
When you reconnect the negative (–) ter-
minal to the battery, the value of average
fuel consumption will be shown after driv-
ing for a period of time.
You can select when the value of average
fuel consumption is reset from among the
following three methods;
 Reset after refuel: the value of averagefuel consumption will be reset automati-
cally by refueling.
 Reset with trip A: the value of average fuel consumption will be reset automati-
cally by resetting trip meter A.
 Reset manually: the value of average fuel consumption will be reset by pulling
and holding the DISP switch (2) when
the display indicates the average fuel
consumption. To change when the value of average fuel
consumption is reset, refer to “Setting
Mode” later in this section.
NOTE:
If you add only a small amount of fuel
when you select “Reset after refuel”, the
average fuel consumption value may not
be reset.
Driving range
If you selected driving range the last time
you drove the vehicle, the display indicates
“---” for a few seconds and then indicates
the current driving range when the engine
switch is pressed to change the ignition
mode to “ON”.
The driving range shown in the display is
the approximate distance you can drive
until the fuel gauge indicates “E”, based on
current driving conditions.
When the remaining fuel in fuel tank
reaches a low level, the display “---” will
appear.
If the low fuel warning light comes on, fill
the fuel tank immediately regardless of the
value of driving range shown in the display.
As the driving range after refueling is cal-
culated based on the most recent driving
condition, the value is different each time
you refuel. NOTE:
 If you refuel when the ignition mode is
changed to “ON” by pressing the engine
switch, the driving range may not indi-
cate the correct value.
 When you reconnect the negative (–) ter- minal to the battery, the value of driving
range will be shown after driving for a
period of time.
Average Speed
If you selected average speed the last time
you drove the vehicle, the display indicates
the last value of average speed from previ-
ous driving when the engine switch is
pressed to change the ignition mode to
“ON”. Unless you reset the value of aver-
age speed, the display indicates the value
of average speed which includes average
speed during previous driving.
To reset the value of average speed, pull
and hold the DISP switch (2) for about 2
seconds when the display indicates an
average speed. The display shows “---”
and then indicates a new average speed
after driving for a short time.
NOTE:
When you reconnect the negative (–) ter-
minal to the battery, the value of average
speed will be shown after driving for a
period of time.

To turn the lights on or off, twist the knob
on the end of the lever. There are four posi-
tions:
OFF (1)
All lights are off.
AUTO (2)
This function works when the ignition
mode has been changed to “ON” by press-
ing the engine switch. The headlights and
position lights are turned on and off auto-
matically according to the amount of out-
side light detected by a sensor. They go
out automatically when you change the
ignition mode to “ACC” or “LOCK” by
pressing the engine switch.
 The light sensor (5) for sensing the
amount of outside light is installed on the
upper part of the windshield. It also
serves as the rain sensor for the rain-
sensing wipers.NOTE:
 Avoid covering the light sensor area of
the windshield with a sticker. The sticker
may impair the performance of the sen-
sor and make the system unable to con-
trol operation of the lights correctly.
 If you changed the ignition mode to “ON”
by pressing the engine switch and the
“AUTO” position remains selected, the
headlights and position lights come on
automatically as the outside gets dark
even with the engine not running. Leav-
ing the lights lit for a long time may lead
to a completely discharged battery.
(3)
Front position lights, tail lights, license
plate light and instrument lights are on, but
headlights are off.
(4)
Front position lights, tail lights, license
plate light, instrument lights and headlights
are on.
CAUTION
If the light sensor area of the wind-
shield is covered with mud, ice, or
other similar substances, the head-
lights and position lights may be
turned on even when it is still light
outside. Before removing such sub-
stances from the windshield, always
set the wiper control lever to the
“OFF” position. If the lever is left in
the “AUTO” position, the wipers
could unexpectedly operate and
cause injury, and could also be dam-
aged.

ward to switch to the high beams (main
beams) or pull the lever toward you to
switch to the low beams. When the high
beams (main beams) are on, a light on the
instrument panel will come on. To momen-
tarily activate the high beams (main
beams) as a passing signal, pull the lever
slightly toward you and release it when you
have completed the signal.
Auto-On Headlight System
57L21118
The Auto-on headlight system automati-
cally turns on all lights that are operated by
the lighting control lever on the steering
column, when the following three condi-

2) The lighting control lever is in the
“AUTO” position.
3) You press the engine switch to change
the ignition mode to “ON”.
This system is operated by a signal from
the light sensor (5) on the front wind shield.
Do not cover the sensor (5). If you do, the
system will not work correctly.NOTE:
The light sensor reacts even to infrared
rays, so it may operate incorrectly when
there are strong infrared rays.
