SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG
WARNING LABELSWarning labels about the supplemental air bag
system are placed in the vehicle as shown in the
illustration.
SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG
WARNING LIGHTThe supplemental air bag warning light, display-
ing
in the instrument panel, monitors the
circuits of the supplemental front air bag,
supplemental side air bag (if so equipped) and
curtain side-impact air bag (if so equipped)
systems, and pre-tensioner seat belt. The cir-
cuits monitored by the air bag warning light are
the diagnosis sensor unit, satellite sensors, front
air bag modules, side air bag modules, curtain
side-impact air bag modules, and pre-tensioner
seat belt and all related wiring.
After turning the ignition key to the ON position,

SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER
SpeedometerThe speedometer indicates vehicle speed.Odometer/twin trip odometerThe odometer/twin trip odometer are displayed
when the ignition key is in the ON position.
The odometer records the total distance the
vehicle has been driven.
The twin trip odometer records the distance of
individual trips.

Changing the display:
Push the reset knobto change the display as
follows:
TRIP A→TRIP B→TRIP A
Resetting the trip odometer:
Push the reset knobfor more than 1 second to
reset the trip odometer to zero.
TACHOMETERThe tachometer indicates engine speed in revo-
lutions per minute (rpm).
CAUTION
When engine speed approaches the red
zone, shift to a higher gear. Operating
the engine in the red zone may cause
serious engine damage.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGEThe gauge indicates the engine coolant tem-
perature.
The engine coolant temperature will vary with the
outside air temperature and driving conditions.
CAUTION
If the gauge indicates engine coolant
temperature over the normal range,

This unit is a display unit with the following
functions:
Function to measure terrestrial magnetism
and indicate heading direction of vehicle
Function to indicate outside air temperature
Function to indicate caution for frozen road
surfaces
OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAYPush the switch when the ignition key is in the
ACC or ON position. The outside temperature
will be displayed in °F.
Selecting the indication range
Push the switch to change from °F to °C.
If the outside temperature drops below the
freezing point, the display indicates ICE.When the outside temperature is be-
tween 130°F (55°C) and 158°F (70°C), the
display shows 130°F (55°C).
When the outside temperature is lower
than −20°F (−30°C) or higher than 158°F
(70°C), the display shows only
---
though it is operating. This is not a
malfunction.
The outside temperature sensor is lo-
cated in front of the radiator. The sensor
may be affected by road or engine heat,
wind direction and other driving condi-
tions. The display may differ from the
actual outside temperature or the tem-
perature displayed on various signs or
billboards.
CAUTION
Use the ICE indication for reference
only. Confirm the traffic information and
road conditions to drive safely.

COMPASS DISPLAYPush the switch when the ignition key is in the
ACC or ON position. The direction will be
displayed.Zone variation change procedureThe 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 readings.
Follow these instructions to set the variance for
your particular location if this happens:
1. Establish your location on the zone map.
Record your zone number.
2. Push the ON/OFF switch in for five seconds
until the current zone entry number is dis-
played.
3. Press the ON/OFF switch repeatedly until
the new zone entry number is displayed.
Once the desired zone number is displayed,
stop pressing the ON/OFF switch and the dis-
play will show compass direction within a few
seconds.

If a magnet is located near the compass
or the vehicle is driven where the terres-
trial magnetism is disturbed, the com-
pass display may not indicate the cor-
rect direction.
In places where the terrestrial magne-
tism is disturbed, the correction of the
direction starts automatically, extin-
guishing 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 compass
displayThe compass display is equipped with automatic
correction function. If the direction is not shown
correctly, carry out manual correction procedure
set out below.Manual correction procedure1. Push the switch for about 10 seconds. The
direction bar starts blinking.
2. Drive the vehicle slowly in an open and safe
area. The initial correction is completed while
turning one or two turns.
CAUTION
In places where the earth’s magnetism
is disturbed, the initial correction proce-
dure may start automatically.
