(g) Engine Oil Replacement Reminder Light (forvehicles sold in U.S.A.)
This light acts as a reminder when to replace the engine oil.
This light will come on when the ignition key is turned to the
“ON” position and will go off after about a few seconds.
When you drive for about 7200 km (4500 miles) after the
engine oil replacement, this light illuminates for about 3
seconds and then flashes for about 12 seconds with the
ignition key turned to the “ON” position. If you continue driving
without replacing the engine oil, and if the distance driven
exceeds 8000 km (5000 miles), the light will come on after the
ignition key is turned to the “ON” position. The light will remain
on thereafter.
If the light is flashing, we recommend that you replace the
engine oil at an early opportunity depending on the driving and
road conditions. If the light comes on, replace it as soon as
possible. The system must be reset after the engine oil replacement.
Reset the system by the following procedure:
1. Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” position with the
odometer
reading shown. (For details, see “Odometer and trip
meter” on page 73.)
2. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position while holding down
the “ODO/TRIP” button.
Hold down the button for at least 5 seconds. The odometer
indicates “000000” and the light goes off.
If the system fails to reset, the light will continue flashing.

88The following
information is displayed when you push the
“INFO” button with the ignition switch turned on.
Each time you push the “INFO” button, the display toggles
through this information.
(1) Driving time after engine start
(2) Average vehicle speed after engine start
(3) Average fuel consumption after refueling
(4) Instantaneous fuel consumption
(5) Driving distance after engine start
(6) Driving range
The displayed values in the cruise information display indicate
general driving conditions. Accuracy varies with driving habits
and road conditions.
When the ignition switch is on, the last previously used mode
displayed just before the ignition switch is off will appear. If the electrical power source has been disconnected from the
cruise information display,
the display will automatically be set
to the initial mode.
When the instrument panel lights are turned on, the brightness
of the display will be reduced.
You can adjust the brightness of the display. To adjust the
brightness, see “Multi −display light control” on page 91.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the display while the vehicle is moving.
Be sure to adjust the display only when the vehicle is
stopped.
(1) Driving time after engine start
(“E/T”)
The elapsed time after the engine starts is displayed.
When the engine is started, driving time is counted from 0:00.
Up to 11:59 (11 hours, 59 minutes) can be displayed. When the
driving time exceeds 11:59, the counter returns to 0:00.
The calculation is reset when the ignition switch is turned off.

(2) Average vehicle speed after engine start(“AVG MPH” or “AVG km/h”)
Average vehicle speed after engine start is calculated and
displayed based on total driving distance and total driving
time with the engine running.
The displayed value is updated every 10 seconds.
To reset the calculations, push and hold the “INFO” button for
about 1 second when the display indicates the average vehicle
speed after engine start.
(3) Average fuel consumption after refueling (“AVG MPG” or “AVG L/100 km”)
Average fuel consumption after refueling is calculated
and displayed based on total driving distance and total
fuel consumption with the engine running.
The displayed value is updated every 10 seconds.
The calculation is reset when the vehicle starts after refueling.
(4) Instantaneous fuel consumption(“MPG” or “L/100 km”)
The instantaneous fuel consumption is calculated and
displayed based on distance and fuel consumption for 2
seconds with the engine running.
The displayed value is updated every 2 seconds.
Note that an accurate figure may not be shown in the following
cases.
The vehicle is stopped with the engine running. (The display
will indicate the extremely high fuel consumption.)
The vehicle is driving down a long slope applying the engine
brake. (The display will indicate the extremely low fuel
consumption.)
(5) Driving distance after engine start
(“Distance miles” or “Distance km”)
The driving distance after engine start is calculated and
displayed based on vehicle speed after engine running.
The displayed value is updated every time the fuel equivalent
for 0.1 km or 0.1 mile is consumed.
To reset the calculations, push and hold the “INFO” button for
about 1 second when the display indicates the driving distance
after engine start.
