This shows the temperature of the
engine’s coolant. During normal
operation, the reading should be in
the middle of the gauge. In severe
driving conditions, such as very hot
weather or a long period of uphill
driving, the reading may reach near
the red mark. If it reaches the red
(Hot) mark, pull saf ely to the side of
theroad.Seepage for
instructions and precautions on
checking the engine’s cooling
system.
Every time you press the display
change button, the display changes
f rom the instant f uel economy to the
temperature gauge, or f rom the
temperature gauge to the instant f uel
economy.
Press and hold the display change
button until you hear a beep. Each
time you press the button, the
speedometer, trip meter, average
f uel mileage and instant f uel
economy readings switches their
measures.
Depending on the selected measures
(mph or km/h), the trip meter and
odometer readings are shown with
miles or km. The average f uel
mileage and instant f uel economy
are shown with mpg or l/100 km.
This display shows the current, or
instant f uel economy you are getting.

When either of the trip meters (trip
A or trip B) is displayed, your
vehicle’s average f uel economy 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 economy, 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 economy 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.
To reset a trip meter, display it, and
then press and hold the SEL/RESET
button until the number resets to
‘‘0.0.’’ Fuel Gauge

Fuel economy is not a f ixed number.
It varies based on driving conditions,
driving habits and vehicle condition.
Theref ore, it is not possible f or one
set of estimates to predict f uel
economy precisely f or all drivers in
all environments.
Represents urban
driving in light traf f ic. A range of
miles per gallon achieved is also
provided. The EPA f uel economy estimates
shownintheexampletotheright
are a usef ul tool f or comparison
when buying a vehicle. EPA
estimates include:
Represents a combination of city and
highway driving. The scale
represents the range of combined
f uel economy f or other vehicles in
the class.
Represents a
mixture of rural and interstate
driving, in a warmed-up vehicle,
typical of longer trips in f ree-f lowing
traf f ic. A range of miles per gallon achieved is also provided.
Provides an estimated annual f uel
cost, based on 15,000 miles (20,000
km) per year multiplied by the costpergallon(basedonEPAfuelcost
data) divided by the combined f uel
