This meter shows the number of
miles (U.S.) or kilometers (Canada)
driven since you last reset it.This shows how much f uel you have.
It is most accurate when the vehicle
is on level ground. It may show
slightly more or less than the actual
amount when you are driving on
curvy or hilly roads.
The needle returns to the bottom
after you turn off the ignition. The

There are two trip meters: Trip A

then press and hold the Select/Reset

‘‘0.0’’. Both trip meters will reset if
the vehicle’s battery goes dead or is

driving, the pointer may rise to the
upper white mark. If it reaches the
red (Hot) mark, pull saf ely to the

This indicator displays the outside
temperature in Fahrenheit in U.S.
models, and in Centigrade in
Canadian models. To see the outside
temperature, press and release the
Select/Reset button until the
temperature is displayed.
The temperature sensor is located in
the f ront bumper. Theref ore, the
temperature reading can be af f ected
by heat ref lection f rom the road sur-
f ace, engine heat, and the exhaust
f rom surrounding traf f ic. This can
cause an incorrect temperature read-
ing when your speed is under
19 mph (30 km/h).
In certain weather conditions,
temperature readings near f reezing
(32°F, 0°C) could mean that ice is
f orming on the road surf ace.
