TRIP COMPUTERThe display of the trip computer is situated in the
triple meter. When the ignition switch is turned
to ON, the display scrolls all the modes of the
trip computer and then shows the mode chosen
before the ignition switch is turned OFF.Switches for the trip computer are located on
the side of the combination meter panel. To
operate the trip computer, press the side of the
switches as shown above.
A: Trip computer mode switch
B: Trip computer setting switch
When the ignition switch is turned to ON, modes
of the trip computer can be selected by pressing
the trip computer mode switch
A.
Each time the mode switch
A
is pressed, the
display will change as follows:
Speed indicator→Outside air temperature
(ICY)→Distance to empty (dte)→Average fuelconsumption and speed→Elapsed time and
trip odometer→Stopwatch→Tire pressure
indicator (PSI) (if so equipped)→Up-shift indi-
cator setting (for M/T models)→Speed indica-
tor
Speed indicator (mph or km/h)The vehicle speed is displayed in MPH or km/h
while driving.
The speed indicator in the trip computer
indicates the reference speed. The actual
speed indicated by the speedometer (com-
bination meter) may differ from the one in
the trip computer.Outside air temperature
(ICY—°For°C)The outside air temperature is displayed in °F or
°C in the range of −22 to 131°F (−30 to 55°C).
The outside air temperature mode includes a low
temperature warning feature: below 37°F (3°C),
the outside air temperature mode is automati-
cally selected and the ICY indicator will illumi-
nate in order to draw the driver’s attention. Press
the mode switch
A
if you wish to return to the
mode that was selected before the warning
occurred. The ICY indicator will continue blink-
ing as long as the temperature remains below
39°F (4°C).

The ambient temperature sensor is located in
front of the radiator. The sensor may be affected
by road or engine heat, wind directions and
other driving conditions. The display may differ
from the actual ambient temperature or the
temperature displayed on various signs or bill-
boards.Distance to empty (dte — mls or km)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. Press the
mode switch
Aif you wish to return to the mode
that was selected before the warning occurred.
The dte indicator will remain blinking until the
vehicle is refuelled.
When the fuel level drops even lower, the dte
display will change to (----).
NOTE:

If the amount of fuel added while the
ignition switch is OFF is small, the dis-play just before the ignition switch is
turned OFF may continue to be dis-
played.

When driving uphill or rounding curves,
the fuel in the tank shifts, which may
momentarily change the display.
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l (liter)/100 km) and speed
(av. mph or av. km/h)Fuel consumption:
The average fuel consumption mode shows the
average fuel consumption since the last reset.
Resetting is done by pressing the trip computer
setting switch
B
for more than approximately 1
second. (The average speed is also reset at the
same time.)
The display is updated every 30 seconds. At
about the first 1/3 miles (500 m) after a reset,
the display shows (----).
Speed:
The average speed mode shows the average
vehicle speed since the last reset. Resetting is
done by pressing the setting switch
Bfor more
than approximately 1 second. (The average fuel
consumption is also reset at the same time.)
The display is updated every 30 seconds. Thefirst 30 seconds after a reset, the display shows
(----).
Elapsed time (h:m:s) and trip
odometer (mls or km)Elapsed time:
The elapsed time mode shows the time since the
last reset. The displayed time can be reset by
pressing the trip computer setting switch
Bfor
more than approximately 1 second. (The trip
odometer is also reset at the same time.)
Trip odometer:
The trip odometer mode shows the total dis-
tance the vehicle has been driven since the last
reset. Resetting is done by pressing the setting
switch
Bfor more than approximately 1 second.
(The elapsed time is also reset at the same time.)
Stopwatch (h:m:s)You can use the trip computer as a stopwatch.
Each time the trip computer setting switch
Bis
pressed, the stopwatch will be operated as
follows:
After 100 hours, the time will start from the reset
display again.

Even if the display is switched to the other mode
while the time is starting, the stopwatch contin-
ues to advance until you stop the time in the
stopwatch mode. When the ignition switch is
turned OFF, the time is reset.Tire pressure indicator (PSI) (if so
equipped)The tire pressure indicator shows tire pressure
(0 - 51 psi) of all wheels (except the spare tire)
by sending a signal from a sensor that is installed
in each wheel. Press the trip computer setting
switch
Bto change the display to F (front) or R
(rear).
The tire pressure sensor will activate only when
the vehicle is driven at speeds above 20 MPH
(32 km/h). If the tire pressure signal cannot be
received correctly, the display shows (----).
The tire pressure indicator mode includes a low
tire pressure warning feature. If the vehicle is
being driven with very low tire pressure (lower
than 28 psi), the tire pressure indicator mode is
automatically selected and the PSI indicator will
blink in order to attract the driver’s attention.
Press the trip computer mode switch
A
if you
wish to return to the mode that was selected
before the warning occurred. The PSI indicator
will continue blinking until the tire pressure of
each tire is properly adjusted.For additional information, see “Low tire pres-
sure warning system” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section and “Flat tire” in the “6. In case
of emergency” section.
Tire pressure shown in the display may rise
or fall while driving depending on the driv-
ing conditions (heat, etc.) and/or the out-
side temperature. This does not indicate a
system malfunction.
WARNING
The low tire pressure warning system is
not a substitute for the regular tire pres-
sure check. Be sure to check the tire
pressure regularly and adjust it to the
COLD tire pressure shown in the tire
placard.Up-shift indicator setting (rpm) (for
manual transmission models)The up-shift indicator setting mode is used to
set the desired engine speed (rpm) for the
up-shift indicator (situated in the tachometer) to
illuminate. When the engine speed approaches
or reaches the set figure, the up-shift indicator
will flash or illuminate to show the driver the
timing for shifting into a higher gear. See “Drivingthe vehicle” in the “5. Starting and driving”
section for the use of the up-shift indicator.
When the up-shift indicator setting mode is
selected, the rpm indicator blinks and the engine
speed currently set is displayed. (The initial
factory setting is 6,600 rpm.) The figure can be
changed between 2,000 and 8,000 rpm by
pressing trip computer setting switch
B. Press-
ing the switch for less than approximately 1
second will add the figure by 100 rpm. If press-
ing for more than approximately 1 second, the
figure will increase by 500 rpm.
If the battery cable is disconnected, the set
engine speed will be returned to the initial figure
(6,600 rpm).
Display priorityIf a low outside air temperature warning,
low dte (distance to empty) range warning
and low tire pressure warning occur simul-
taneously, other display modes switch au-
tomatically to the outside air temperature
display.
When trip computer mode switch
A
is
pressed, the display switches to the mode
chosen before the warning display, but the
ICY indicator will continue blinking.
