Multi-function display
1. “MODE” button
2. Multi-function display
3. “SET” button
The multi-function display is equip-
ped with the following:
●an odometer (which shows the
total distance traveled)
●two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were
last set to zero, the time passed
since the tripmeters were set to
zero, and the average speed tra-
veled during this time)
●a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled sin-
ce the fuel level warning light
came on)
●a clock
●an ambient temperature display
●an oil change indicator (which
comes on when the engine oil
should be changed)
NOTE:
●For the UK, the distance traveled
is displayed in miles and the tem-
perature reading is displayed in
ºF.
●For other countries, the distance
traveled is displayed in kilome-
ters and the temperature reading
is displayed in ºC.
Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “MODE” button switches
the display between the odometer
mode “Total” and the tripmeter
modes “Trip” in the following order:
Total
Trip 1 Trip 2  Trip/fuel
Total
1. Total
2. Trip 1
3. Trip 2
4. Trip/Fuel
NOTE:
●The Trip/fuel odometer is only
activated if the fuel level warning
light comes on.
●The Trip 2 odometer is automati-
cally reset after turning the key to
“OFF” and two hours have pas-
sed.
Pushing the “SET” button when in the
tripmeter mode switches the display
between the different tripmeter func-
tions in the following order:
Trip 1 or Trip 2
Time 1 or 2 Ave-
rage speed 1 or 2
Trip 1 or Trip 2

Ambient temperature display
1. Frost warning indicator“”
2. Negative symbol “ – ”
3. Ambient temperature
This display shows the ambient tem-
perature from -30 °C ( -86 °F) to 50 °C
(122 °F).
The frost warning indicator “ ”
automatically comes on if the tempe-
rature is lower than 3 °C (37.4 °F).Oil change indicator “OIL”
1. Oil change indicator “OIL”
The engine oil should be changed
when this indicator comes on. The
indicator stays on until it is reset. After

come on at the initial 1000 km
(600 mi) and every 3000 km
(1800 mi) thereafter.
●If the engine oil is changed befo-
re the oil change indicator comes
on (i.e. before the periodic oil
change interval has been rea-
ched), the indicator must be reset
after the oil change for the next
periodic oil change to be indica-
ted at the correct time. After
