IMPORTANT NOTICE
ALL MATERIAL CONTAINED IN THIS PUBLICA-
TION IS BASED ON THE LATEST INFORMATION
AVAILABLE AT TIME OF PUBLICATION APPROVAL.
THE RIGHT IS RESERVED TO PUBLISH REVISIONS
AT ANY TIME.
This Owner's Manual has been prepared with the
assistance of service and engineering specialists to
acquaint you with the operation and maintenance of
your new vehicle. It is supplemented by a Warranty
Information Booklet and various customer-oriented
documents. You are urged to read these publications
carefully. Following the instructions and recommenda-
tions in this Owner's Manual will help assure safe and
enjoyable operation of your vehicle.
After you have read the Owner’s Manual, it should be
stored in the vehicle for convenient reference and
remain with the vehicle when sold.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes
in design and specifications, and/or to make additions
to or improvements in its products without imposing
any obligations upon itself to install them on products
previously manufactured.
The Owner's Manual illustrates and describes the fea-
tures that are standard or available as extra cost op-
tions. Therefore, some of the equipment and accesso-
ries in this publication may not appear on your vehicle.NOTE:
Be sure to read the Owner's Manual first
before driving your vehicle and before attaching or
installing parts/accessories or making other modifica-
tions to the vehicle.
In view of the many replacement parts and accessories
from various manufacturers available on the market,
the manufacturer cannot be certain that the driving
safety of your vehicle will not be impaired by the
attachment or installation of such parts. Even if such
parts are officially-approved (for example, by a general
operating permit for the part or by constructing the
part in an officially approved design), or if an individual
operating permit was issued for the vehicle after the
attachment or installation of such parts, it cannot be
implicitly assumed that the driving safety of your ve-
hicle is unimpaired. Therefore, neither experts nor
official agencies are liable. Therefore the manufacturer
only assumes responsibility when parts, which are ex-
pressly authorized or recommended by the manufac-
turer, are attached or installed at an authorized dealer.
The same applies when modifications to the original
condition are subsequently made on the manufactur-
er's vehicles.

WARNING!
If the Transmission Temperature Warning
Light is illuminated and you continue
operating the vehicle, in some circumstances you
could cause the fluid to boil over, come in contact
with hot engine or exhaust components and
cause a fire.
OIL CHANGE REQUIRED
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
indicator system. The “Oil Change Required” message
will flash in the EVIC display for approximately 10 sec-
onds after a single chime has sounded to indicate the
next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil
change indicator system is duty cycle based, which
means the engine oil change interval may fluctuate
dependent upon your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to display each
time you cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
To turn off the message temporarily, press and release
the MENU button. To reset the oil change indicator
system (after performing the scheduled maintenance),
perform the following procedure:
1. Without pressing the brake pedal, push the EN- GINE START/STOP button and cycle the ignition to
the ON/RUN position (Do not start the engine.)
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds. 3. Without pressing the brake pedal, push the EN-
GINE START/STOP button once to return the igni-
tion to the OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE: If the indicator message illuminates when you
start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did
not reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure.
FUEL ECONOMY
Press and release the UP or DOWN button until “Fuel
Economy” displays highlighted in the EVIC and press
the SELECT button. The following Fuel Economy func-
tions will display in the EVIC:
• Average Fuel Economy/Fuel Saver Mode
• Distance To Empty (DTE)
• Miles Per Gallon (MPG)
Average Fuel Economy / ECO Fuel Saver
Mode — If Equipped
Shows the average fuel economy since the last reset.
When the fuel economy is reset, the display will read
“RESET” or show dashes for two seconds. Then, the
history information will be erased, and the averaging
will continue from the last fuel average reading before
the reset.
The ECO indicator will illuminate in the EVIC display.
This ECO indicator will appear when you are driving in
a fuel efficient manner and can be used to modify
driving habits in order to increase fuel economy.

Distance To Empty (DTE)
Shows the estimated distance that can be traveled with
the fuel remaining in the tank. This estimated distance
is determined by a weighted average of the instanta-
neous and average fuel economy, according to the
current fuel tank level. DTE cannot be reset through
the SELECT button.
NOTE:Significant changes in driving style or vehicle
loading will greatly affect the actual drivable distance of
the vehicle, regardless of the DTE displayed value.
When the DTE value is less than 48 km estimated
driving distance, the DTE display will change to a
“LOW FUEL” message. This display will continue until
the vehicle runs out of fuel. Adding a significant amount
of fuel to the vehicle will turn off the “LOW FUEL”
message and a new DTE value will display. VEHICLE SPEED
