If you  turn  the steering  wheel to the
full  left  or right  position  repeatedly
while  stopping  or driving  at very  low
speed,  you may  feel slightly  harder
steering  due to overhe ating of the
steering  gear box.
This 
indicator  normally comes on
when  you turn  the ignition  to the  ON
(II)  position  and goes  off after  the
engine  starts. If it comes  on at any
other  time, there  is a problem  in the
electric  power steering  system. If
this  happens,  stop the vehicle  in a
safe  place  and turn  off the  engine.
Reset  the system  by restarting  the
engine.  The indicator  will not turn
off  immediately.  If it does  not go off
after  driving  a short  distance,  or
comes  on again  while driving,  take
the  vehicle  to your  dealer  to have  it
checked.  With the indicator  on, the
EPS  may  be turn ed  off,  making  the
vehicle  harder to steer. This 
indicator  normally comes on for
a  few  seconds  when you turn  the
ignition  switch to the  ON  (II)
position.  When the brake  system
indicator  (amber) is on,  there  is the
problem  with the Cooperative
Control with regenerative brake,
Creep Aid System or Brake Assist
(the normal brake operates properly).
Have your vehicle checked by your
dealer.
For more inf ormation, see page .
Continuously driving under those
conditions could damage the power
steering system.

To switch the information display
between the odometer, trip meter,
outside temperature, and engine oil
lif e and maintenance item code(s),
press the SEL/RESET button
repeatedly.
The odometer shows the total
distance your vehicle has been
driven. It measures in miles or
kilometers. It is illegal under U.S.
federal law and Canadian provincial
regulations to disconnect, reset, or
alter the odometer with the intent to
change the number of miles or
kilometers indicated.

When either of the trip meters (trip
A or trip B) is displayed, your
vehicle’s average fuel mileage since
you last reset that trip meter can be
shownontheinformationdisplay
(mpg or l/100km). This number is
updated once per 10 seconds. To see
the average f uel mileage, press and
release the SEL/RESET button
repeatedly.This shows how much f uel you have.
It may show slightly more or less
than the actual amount.
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 meter shows the number of
miles or kilometers driven since you
last reset it.
There are two trip meters: TRIP A
and TRIP B. Switch between these
displays by pressing the SEL/
RESET button repeatedly.
Each trip meter works independently,
so you can keep track of two
dif f erent distances.

µ 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.
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

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. When it reaches the desired value,
release the SEL/RESET button. You
should see the new outside
temperature displayed.
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.
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.

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.
Your 
vehicle’s  on board  diagnostic
system  will detect  a loose  or missing
fuel  fill cap  as an  evaporative  system
leak.  The first  time  a leak  is detected
a  ‘‘CHECK  FUEL CAP’’ message
appears  on the  information  display.
Turn  the engine  off, and  confi rm the
fuel  fill 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  fuel  fill 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  off. If 
the  system  still detects  a leak  in
the  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
