indications hard to see if you wear po-
larized glasses. „Combination meter illumina- tion
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, the various parts of the
combination meter are illuminated in the
following sequence:
1. Warning lights, indicator lights, meter
rims, meter needles, odometer, trip meter,
and gauge back lights illuminate.
2. Meter needles and gauges each show
MAX reading.
3. Meter needles and gauges each show
MIN reading.
4. Meter and gauge dials illuminate.
5. Regular illumination (for driving) be-
gins. „

Also, if you do not press the trip knob for a
period of 10 seconds, the new setting will
be canceled.
NOTE y It is not possible to cancel sequential
illumination of the combination meter
while sequential illumination is actual-
ly taking place. Cancel sequential illu-
mination when regular illumination (for
driving) has begun.y When you open the driver’s door
with the ignition switch in the “LOCK”
position, the meters’ needles and rims
are lit. The illumination stops working
when you shut the driver’s door or au-
tomatically after 30 seconds. „
Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle

or “ON” position.
The odometer shows the total distance
that the vehicle has been driven.
If you press the trip knob when the ignition
switch is in the “LOCK” or “ACC” position,
the odometer/trip meter will light up. If you
do not press the trip knob within 10 sec-
onds of illumination of the odometer/trip
meter, the odometer/trip meter will go off.

push the knob.
Each press of the knob changes the mode
indication alternately. To set the trip meter to zero, select the A
trip or B trip meter by pushing the knob
and keep the knob pushed for more than 2 seconds.
If you press the trip knob when the ignition
switch is in the “LOCK” position, the
odometer/trip meter will light up. It is pos-
sible to switch between the A trip meter and B trip meter indications while the
odometer/trip meter is lit up. If you do not
press the trip knob within 10 seconds of il-
lumination of the odometer/trip meter, the
odometer/trip meter will go off. Also, if you
open and close the driver’s door within 10
seconds of illumination of the odometer/
trip meter, the odometer/trip meter will go
off.
NOTE
If the connection between the combi-
nation meter and battery is broken for
any reason such as vehicle mainte-
nance or fuse replacement, the data re-
corded on the trip meter will be lost. T
Vehicle communication system

The vehicle communication system car-
ries various types of information (vehicle
speed, running conditions, etc.) to control
modules. In the event of a fault in this
communication system, the trip meter will

The outside temperature indicator shows
the outside temperature in a range from
–22 to 122 °F (–30 to 50 °C).
The indicator can give a false reading un-
der any of the following conditions:y When there is too much sun.
y During idling; while running at low
speeds in a traffic jam; when the engine is
restarted immediately following a shut-
down. y When the actual outside temperature
falls outside the specified indicator range. T
Low outside temperature warning
U.S.-spec. vehicles
Canada-spec. vehicles
When the outside temperature drops to 37
°F (3 °C) or lower, the temperature indi-
cation flashes to show that the road sur-
face may be frozen.
If the outside temperature drops to 37 °F
(3 °C) or lower while the display is giving
an indication other than the outside tem-
perature, the display switches to the out-
side temperature indication and flashes
for five seconds before returning to its
original indication.
If the display is already indicating an out-
side temperature of 37 °F (3 °C) or lower
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, the indication does not
flash.
NOTE
The outside temperature indication
may differ from the actual outside tem-
perature. The road surface freeze warn-
ing indication should be treated only
as a guide. Be sure to check the condi-
tion of the road surface before driving.
