& SpeedometerThe speedometer shows the vehicle
speed.&TachometerThe tachometer shows the engine speed
in thousands of revolutions per minute.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine with the
pointer of the tachometer in the red
zone. In this range, fuel injection will
be cut by the engine control module
to protect the engine from overrev-
ving. The engine will resume run-
ning normally after the engine speed
is reduced below the red zone.
&Fuel gaugeThe fuel gauge shows the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
When the ignition switch is in the “LOCK”
or “ACC ”position, the fuel gauge shows
“E ”even if the fuel tank contains fuel.
The gauge may move slightly during
braking, turning or acceleration due to fuel
level movement in the tank.
If you press the trip knob while the ignition
switch is in the “LOCK”position, the fuel
gauge ’s dial, needle, and rim will light up
and the needle will indicate the amount of
fuel remaining in the tank.
If, while the fuel gauge needle is indicating
the amount of fuel remaining in the tank,
you (a) do not press the trip knob for 10
seconds or (b) open and close the driver ’s door, the fuel gauge needle will drop to the
“E
”position and the dial, needle, and rim
will go off.
The rim of the fuel gauge flashes five
times when the amount of remaining fuel
reaches 2.6 US gal (10 liters, 2.2 lmp gal).
If you turn the ignition switch to the
“LOCK ”position and back to the “ON”
position, the rim will again flash five times.

NOTEYou will see the “
”sign in the fuel
gauge.
This indicates that the fuel filler door
(lid) is located on the right side of the
vehicle.
! Low fuel warning light
The low fuel warning light comes on when
the tank is nearly empty [Approximately
2.6 US gal (10 liters, 2.2 lmp gal)].
It only operates when the ignition switch is
in the “ON”position.NOTEThis light does not go out unless the
tank is replenished up to an internal fuel quantity of approximately 4.0 US
gal (15 liters, 3.3 lmp gal).
CAUTION
Promptly put fuel in the tank when-
ever the low fuel warning light
comes on. Engine misfires as a
result of an empty tank could cause
damage to the engine.&
Temperature gauge1) Normal operating range
2) S# PREP indicator lightThe temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature when the ignition
switch is in the “ON”position. The coolant temperature will vary in
accordance with the outside temperature
and driving conditions.
We recommend that you drive moderately
until the pointer of the temperature gauge
reaches near the middle of the range.
Engine operation is optimum with the
engine coolant at this temperature range
and high revving operation when the
engine is not warmed up enough should
be avoided.
When the engine is not warmed up
sufficiently, the S# PREP indicator light
turns on. While this indicator light is on,
the SI-DRIVE mode cannot be changed to
the Sport Sharp (S#) mode. For details
about the SI-DRIVE mode, refer to the
“SI-
DRIVE (Turbo models) ”section in chapter
7.
CAUTION
If the pointer exceeds the normal
operating range, safely stop the
vehicle as soon as possible.
See the “In case of emergency ”in
chapter 9.

Instruments and controls
& ECO gaugeThe ECO gauge shows the difference
between the average rate of fuel con-
sumption and the current rate of fuel
consumption. Using the average rate of
fuel consumption since the trip meter was
last reset, if the current rate of fuel
consumption is higher than the average
rate of fuel consumption, the indicator
needle points to the “+”or right side, and if
the current rate of fuel consumption is
lower than the average rate of fuel
consumption, the indicator needle points
to the “ ”or left side. When the indicator
needle is pointing to the “+”or right side, it
indicates fuel-efficient driving.
NOTE. The ECO gauge shows only an
approximate indication.
. After resetting the trip meter, the
average rate of fuel consumption is not
shown until driving 0.6 mile (1 km).
Until that time, the ECO gauge does not
operate.

Canada-spec. vehiclesThis indication shows the distance that the
vehicle has been driven since you last set
it to zero.
To set the trip meter to zero, select the A
trip or B trip meter by pushing the multi-
information display toggle button and keep
the knob pushed for more than 0.8
second.
If you press the multi-information display
toggle button when the ignition switch is in

meter will light up. It is possible to set
the trip meter to zero while the odometer/
trip meter is lit up. If you do not press the
trip knob within 5 seconds of illumination
of the odometer/trip meter, the odometer/
trip meter will go off. Also, if you open and
close the driver ’s door within 5 seconds of illumination of the odometer/trip meter, the
odometer/trip meter will go off.
NOTEIf the connection between the combina-
tion meter and battery is broken for any
reason such as vehicle maintenance or
fuse replacement, the data recorded on
the trip meter will be lost.&

1) Current fuel consumption
2) Average fuel consumptionCurrent fuel consumption shows the rate
of fuel consumption at the present mo-
ment. Average fuel consumption shows
the average rate of fuel consumption since
the trip meter was last reset.
When the vehicle speed is less than
approximately 6 mph (9.5 km/h), the
current fuel consumption is not displayed.
The displayed number with “A” is the
average fuel consumption corresponding
to the A trip meter indication, and the
displayed number with “B”is the average
fuel consumption corresponding to the B
trip meter indication.

Canada-spec. vehiclesWhen the outside temperature is 37 8F
(3 8C) or lower, the display flashes “OUT
TEMP 37 8F(3 8C) ”for 3 seconds and
gives a notice to the driver that the road
surface may be frozen. After 3 seconds, it
returns to its original indication of the
outside temperature and journey time.
If the outside temperature drops to 37 8F
(3 8C) or lower while the display is giving
an indication other than the outside
temperature, the display shows “OUT
TEMP 37 8F(3 8C) ”for 3 seconds before
returning to its original indication.
If the display is already indicating an
outside temperature of 37 8F(3 8C) or lower
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON ”position, the display does not shows
“OUT TEMP 37 8F(3 8C) ”.
NOTEThe outside temperature indication
may differ from the actual outside
temperature. The indication “OUT
TEMP 37 8F(3 8C) ” should be treated
only as a guide. Be sure to check the
condition of the road surface before
driving.

After 2 hours have passed for the journey
time, the display indication flashes “E/T
2:00 ”at the center of the display for 3
seconds and gives a notice to the driver to
take a rest. After 3 seconds, it returns to its
original indication of the outside tempera-
ture and journey time.
If you continue to drive your vehicle
without stopping the engine, the display
flashes the journey time for 3 seconds at
the center of the display after each
additional hour has elapsed. If the display
shows an indication other than the journey
time, the display switches to the journey
time for 3 seconds for each additional hour
that has elapsed after the first 2 hours.
After 3 seconds, it returns to its original
indication. However, if the journey time
indication overlaps with another indication,
the journey time indication is shortened.NOTEThe journey time is reset when the
ignition switch is turned to the “OFF ”
position. It is also reset if the ignition
switch is turned to the “LOCK ”or
“ ACC ”position prior to restarting of
the engine.
& Driving range on remaining
fuelU.S.-spec. vehiclesCanada-spec. vehiclesThe driving range indicates the distance in units of 10 miles (10 km) that can be
driven by taking into consideration the fuel
remaining in the tank and the average rate
of fuel consumption over the last 30 miles
(30 km).
