To reset a trip meter, display it, and
then press and hold the Select/Reset
knob until the number resets to ‘‘0.0’’.
When you reset Trip A, AVG. FUEL
A is reset at the same time. When
you reset Trip B, AVG. FUEL B is
reset.
This shows your vehicle’s average
f uel economy in mpg (U.S. models)
or
/100 km (Canadian models)
since you last reset the Trip A or
Trip B. If the outside temperature is
incorrectly displayed, you can adjust
it up 5°F in U.S. models ( 3°C in
Canadian models) warmer or cooler.
NOTE: The temperature must be
stabilized bef ore doing this
procedure.
When the temperature reaches the
desired value, release the Select/
Reset knob. You should see the new
outside temperature displayed.
The average f uel mileage will be
reset when you reset the trip meter,
or if the vehicle’s battery goes dead
or is disconnected. This shows the outside temperature
in Fahrenheit (U.S. models), or in
Centigrade (Canadian models).
The temperature sensor is in the
f ront bumper. The temperature
reading can be affected by heat
ref lection f rom the road surf ace,
engine heat, and the exhaust f rom
surrounding traf f ic. This can cause
an incorrect temperature reading
when your vehicle speed is under
19 mph (30 km/h). When you start
your trip, the sensor is not f ully
acclimatized, theref ore it may take
several minutes until the proper
temperature is displayed.
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.
To adjust the outside temperature
indicator, press and hold the Select/
Reset knob f or 10 seconds. The
f ollowing sequence will appear f or 1
secondeach:0,1,2,3,4,5, 5, 4,
3, 2, 1, 0 (U.S.) or 0, 1, 2, 3,
3, 2, 1, 0 (Canada).

This shows the temperature of the
engine’s coolant. During normal
operation, the reading should rise
from the ‘‘C (Cold)’’ mark to about
the middle of the gauge. In severe
driving conditions, such as very hot
weather or a long period of uphill
driving, the reading may rise to near
the ‘‘H (Hot)’’ mark of the gauge. If
it re aches the ‘‘H’’ mark, pull safely
to the side of the road. See page for instructions and precautions
on checking the engine’s coolant
system. The information display in the
instrument panel shows you the
engine oil life and maintenance
service items when the ignition
switch is in the ON (II) position. This
information helps to keep you aware
of the periodic maintenance your
vehicle needs for continued trouble-
free
driving. Refer to page for
more information. If
your fuel fill cap is loose or
missing, a ‘‘CHECK FUEL CAP’’
messa ge appears on the information
display after you start the engine.

The odometer shows the total
distance your vehicle has been
driven. It measures miles in U.S.
models and kilometers in Canadian
models. It is illegal under U.S.
federal law and Canadian provincial
regulations to disconnect, reset, or
alter the odometer with the intent to
ch ange the number of miles or
kilometers indicated.
This meter shows the number of
miles (U.S.) or kilometers (Canada)
driven since you last reset it. There
are two trip meters: Trip A and Trip
B. Each trip meter works
independently, so you can keep track
of two different distances. When
you reset Trip A, AVG.
FUEL A is reset at the same time.
When you reset Trip B, AVG.
FUEL B is reset. The
temperature sensor is in the
front bumper. The temperatu re
reading can be affected by heat
reflection from the road surface,
engine heat, and the exhaust from
surrounding traffic. This can cause
an incorrect temperature reading
when your vehicle speed is under
19 mph (30 km/h). When you start
your trip, the sensor is not fully
acclimatized, therefore it may take
several minutes until the proper
te mperature is displayed.
In certain weather conditions,
temperature readings near freezing
(32°F, 0°C) could mean that ice is
forming on the road surface.
To reset a trip meter, display it, then
press and hold the SEL/RESET
button until the number resets to
‘‘0.0’’. You
can adjust the outside
temperature in the multi-info rmation
display (see page ).
You
can customize the Trip A and
AVG. FUEL A reset condition in the
multi-info rmation display (see page
).
This shows the outside temperature
in Fahrenheit (U.S. models), or in
Centigrade (Canadian models). 98
