This indicator  comes  on when  you
set  the  cruise  control.  See page
for  information  on operating  the
cruise  control.
This  indicator  comes  on when  the
washer  fluid level  is low.  Add  washer

come  on (see  page  ).
This 
indicator  comes  on when  you

pressing  the CRUISE  button (see
page  ).
This indicator  is located  in the  fuel

When  the indicator  comes on, there
is  about  1.9 US  gal  (7.5
)offuel
remaining  in the  tank  before  the
reading  reaches  E. There  is a small
reserve  of fuel  remaining  in the  tank
when  the reading  does reach  E. This 
indicator  reminds you that  it is
time  to take  your  vehicle  in for
scheduled  maintenance.  The

To switch the information display
between the odometer, trip meter,
outside temperature (if equipped),
and engine oil lif e and maintenance
item code(s), press the SEL/RESET
button repeatedly.
Press and hold until the speedometer,
trip meter, and odometer readings
switch between miles per hour and
kilometers per hour. A beeper will
sound. This shows the total distance your
vehicle has been driven. It measures
miles or kilometers.
It is illegal under U.S. f ederal law and
Canadian provincial regulations to
disconnect, reset, or alter the
odometer with the intent to change
the number of miles or kilometers
indicated. Odometer

Each trip meter  works  independently,
so  you  can  keep  track  of two
different  distances.
There 
are two  trip meters:  TRIP A
and  TRIP  B. Switch  between  these
displays  by pressing  the SEL/
RESET  button repeatedly. This 
shows  how much  fuel you have.
It  may  show  slightly  more or less
th an  the  actual  amount.
To  reset  a trip  meter,  display  it, and
then  press  and hold  the SEL/RESET
button  until the number  resets to
‘‘0.0.’’ This  meter  shows  the number  of
miles  or kilometers  driven since you
last  reset  it. This 
shows  the temperature  of the
engine’s  coolant. During normal
operation,  the reading  should rise 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
into the upper half of the gauge. If it
reaches the red (Hot) mark, pull
safely to the side of the road. See
page f or instructions and
precautions on checking the engine
cooling system. 265

The temperature sensor is in the
f ront bumper. Theref ore, the
temperature reading can be af f ected
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
speed is under 19 mph (30 km/h).
The sensor delays the display update
until it reaches the correct outside
temperature. This may take several
minutes. If the outside temperature is
incorrectly displayed, you can adjust
it up to 5°F ( 3°C) warmer or
cooler.
NOTE: The temperature must be
stabilized bef ore doing this
procedure.
This indicator displays the outside
temperature in Fahrenheit (U.S.
models) or Centigrade (Canadian
models). To see the outside
temperature, press and release the
SEL/RESET button until the
temperature is shown on the
inf ormation display. Select the outside temperature
display, then press the SEL/RESET
button f or 10 seconds. The f ollowing
sequence will appear f or 1 second
each:0,1,2,3,4,5, 5, 4, 3, 2,1,0(U.S.)or0,1,2,3, 3, 2,
1, 0 (Canada).
When it reaches the desired value,
release the SEL/RESET button. You
should see the new outside
temperature 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. Your vehicle’s on board diagnostic
system will detect a loose or missing
f uel f ill cap as an evaporative system
leak. The f irst time a leak is detected
a ‘‘CHECK FUEL CAP’’ message
appears on the information display.
Turn the engine of f , and conf irm the
f uel f ill cap is installed. If it is, loosen
it, then retighten it until it clicks at
least once. The message should go
off after several days of normal
driving once you tighten or replace
the f uel f ill cap. To scroll to another
display, press the SEL/RESET
button. The ‘‘CHECK FUEL CAP’’
message will appear each time you
restart the engine until the system
turns the message of f .

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 
the  system  still detects  a leak  in
your  vehicle’s  evaporative  emissions
system,  the malfunction  indicator
lamp  (MIL)  comes  on. If the  fuel  fill
cap  was  not already  tightened,  turn
the  engine  off, and  check  or
retighten  the fuel  fill cap  until  it
clicks  at least  once.  The MIL  should
go  off  after  several  days of normal
driving  once the cap  is tightened  or
replaced.  If the  MIL  does  not go off,
have  your vehicle  inspected  by a
dealer.  For more  information,  see
