3-8Instruments and controls
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 while the
engine is not warmed up enough should
be avoided.
CAUTION
If the pointer exceeds the normal
operating range, safely stop the
vehicle as soon as possible.
Refer to “In case of emergency ”in
chapter 9. &
ECO gauge
The 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 notoperate.

off. NOTE
If 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. &Current and average fuel consumption
U.S.-spec. models
Canada-spec. models
1) Current fuel consumption
2) Average fuel consumption
Current 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.
Those A and B indications can be
changed by depressing the trip knob. When either of the trip meter indications is
reset, the corresponding average fuel
consumption value is also reset. NOTE .
The indicated values vary in accor-
dance with changes in the vehicle ’s
running conditions. Also, the indicated
values may differ slightly from the
actual values and should thus be
treated only as a guide.. When either trip meter indication is
reset, the average fuel consumption
corresponding to that trip meter indica-
tion is not shown until the vehicle has
subsequently covered a distance of 1
mile (or 1 km). Instruments and controls

NOTE
The 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 beforedriving. ! Journey time
U.S.-spec. models
Canada-spec. models
1) Outside temperature
2) Journey time
The journey time shows the time that has
elapsed since the ignition switch was
turned to the “START ”position.
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 an-
other indication, the journey time indica-
tion is shortened.
NOTE
The journey time is reset when the
ignition switch is turned to the “LOCK ”
position. It is also reset if the ignition
switch is turned to the “LOCK ”or
“ Acc ”position prior to restarting of
the engine. Instruments and controls
