Displays the outside air temperature.
The temperature range that can be displayed is

of the display will flash for 10 seconds.
Displays the estimated maximum distance that
can be driven with the quantity of fuel remain-
ing.
• This distance is computed based on your aver-

distance that can be driven may differ from that
displayed.
• When only a small amount of fuel is added to
the tank, the display may not be updated.
When refueling, turn the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch off. If the vehicle is refueled

IS F_EEGear position display
Indicates the current gear, and the range of gears
that is available when the shift lever is in the D
position. The gear range is shown by the number
of dots () and the current gear is shown as a
number. The transmission automatically selects
the gears within the driver selected gear range.
In the illustration to the left, a range of 8 available
gears (1 through 8) has been selected by the driver.
(The shift lever is in the D position with 8 ranges
enabled) It is possible for the transmission to auto-
matically select between all 8 of the gears. In this
case, the transmission has selected third gear.
When in the M position, the “F” mark is dis-
played.
Outside temperature display
In the following situations, the correct outside temperature may not be dis-
played, or the display may take longer than normal to change.
When stopped, or driving at low speeds (less than 20 km/h [12 mph])
When the outside temperature has changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit
of a garage, tunnel, etc.)

CAUTION
The information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal
information display. At extremely low temperatures, the information display
monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the driver's downshifting and the new
gear number appearing on the display. In this case, wait until the display
changes and take care not to downshift again, causing rapid and excessive
engine braking and possibly an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
