The gauge indicates the APPROXIMATE fuel
level in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during braking,
turning, acceleration, or going up or down hill.
The gauge needle is designed to remain in
approximately the same position, even when
the ignition key is turned ªOFFº.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge regis-
ters Empty.This unit is a display unit which possesses the
following functions:
IFunction to measure terrestrial magnetism
and indicate heading direction of vehicle
IFunction to indicate outside air temperature
IFunction to indicate caution for frozen road
surfacesOutside temperature display
Push the switch when the ignition key is in the
ªACCº or ªONº position. The outside tempera-
ture will be displayed in ªÉFº.
ISelecting the indication range
Push the switch to change from ªÉFº to ªÉCº.
IIf the outside temperature drops below the
freezing point, the display indicates
ICE .

IThe outside temperature sensor is
installed in the front of the radiator.
The display may not indicate the cor-
rect temperature due to the heat of
the road and engine depending on
the direction of the wind and driving
conditions, etc.
IUse the ªICEº indication for reference
only. Confirm the traffic information
and road conditions to drive safely.
IWhen the outside temperature is be-
tween 130ÉF (55ÉC) and 158ÉF (70ÉC),
the display shows 130ÉF (55ÉC).
IWhen the outside temperature is
lower than þ20ÉF (þ30ÉC) or higher
than 158ÉF (70ÉC), the display shows
only ª
---º though it is operating. This
is not a problem.

Compass display
Push the switch when the ignition key is in the
ªACCº or ªONº position. The direction will be
displayed.
Zone variation change procedure
The difference between magnetic north and
geographical north is known as variance. In
some areas, this difference can sometimes be
great enough to cause false compass read-
ings. Follow these instructions to set the vari-
ance for your particular location if this hap-
pens:
1. Establish your location on the zone map.
Record your zone number.
2. Push the ªON/OFFº switch in for five sec-
onds until the current zone entry number is
displayed.
3. Press the ªON/OFFº switch repeatedly until
the new zone entry number is displayed.
Once the desired zone number is displayed,
stop pressing the ªON/OFFº switch and the
display will show compass direction within a
few seconds.
IIf a magnet is located near the com-
pass or the vehicle is driven where
the terrestrial magnetism is dis-
turbed, the compass display may not
indicate the correct direction.
IIn places where the terrestrial magne-
tism is disturbed, the correction of
the direction starts automatically, ex-
tinguishing the direction bar. If turn is
made one or two times, the correction
is complete and the direction bar
comes back on.
Correction functions of the direction
meter
The direction display is equipped with auto-
matic correction function. If the direction is not
shown correctly, carry out initial correction.
Manual correction procedure
1. Pushing the switch for about 10 seconds
will enter the initial correction mode. The
direction bar starts blinking.
2. Turn the vehicle slowly in an open, safeplace. The initial correction is completed in
one or two turns.
In places where the terrestrial magne-
tism is extremely disturbed, the initial
correction may start automatically.

Warning labels about the supplemental air bag
system are placed in the vehicle.The supplemental air bag light, displaying ªAIR
BAGº in the instrument panel, monitors the
circuits of the supplemental air bag. The cir-
cuits monitored by the supplemental air bag
light are the diagnosis sensor unit, supplemen-
tal air bag modules and all related wiring.
After turning the ignition key to the ªONº posi-
tion, the air bag warning light illuminates. The
