INFO:
. Due to the slope of a road, this meter may
register g-force even when the vehicle is
stopped. This is not a malfunction.
. When the VDC or the ABS is activated, a
mark will appear on the far left side of the
panel (large panel only) .
. The scale of the readout is adjusted auto-
matically to accommodate readings that
exceed the upper limit of the meter.
Accel/Braking GDisplays the fore/aft g-force exerted on the
vehicle. In the large panel, this meter displays
readings for the past 20 seconds. In the small
panel, this meter displays fore/aft g-force being
exerted on the vehicle at the time of the reading.
When accelerating, the resulting g-force is
displayed at the top of the panel. When
decelerating, the resulting g-force is displayed
at the bottom of the panel. The red zone
readings are configured to function as a guide
for smooth driving.
WARNING
.Use the information from the multi
function meter strictly as a refer-
ence to make your driving more
comfortable. The readings are not
meant to prevent accidents caused
by reckless driving or poor driving
conditions (due to weather, road
condition, etc.) . Always obey all
traffic regulations and posted speed
limits.
. Red zone readings are configured to
function only as a guide for smooth

ACCELERATION SCREENThe acceleration screen displays the results of
how the vehicle behaves based on the manner in
which you operate the vehicle. The information
displayed is for confirmation purposes. The
results of how you use the accelerator pedal
can be displayed as an acceleration g-force
timeline. You can use this information to improve
your operation of the accelerator pedal.

ACCEL G (timeline graph):
Displays the acceleration exerted on the
vehicle. The vertical readout illustrates the
progress of acceleration and the horizontal
readout tracks the acceleration timeline of
the past 20 seconds.

The color of the graph will change when the
vehicle accelerates beyond a preset level of
g-force.

does not display any acceleration informa-
tion when the vehicle is decelerating.

Using result screens to improve
drivingThis section explains how to use the driving
timeline screens. Use this information to make
your driving smoother.
INFO:
The criteria for smooth driving may vary depend-
ing on road conditions. Use this information for
reference purposes only.
Timeline and driving that show smooth
operation of brake pedal:&1
Depressing the brake pedal slowly and
smoothly will result in a smoothly dropping
line.
&2
By gradually depressing the brake pedal,
the angle of the line slopes gently down-
wards.
&3
Slowly releasing the brake pedal results in a
stable deceleration. The timeline display
gradually becomes a straight horizontal line.
&4
When you release the brake pedal slowly,
the line of the braking panel slopes gently
upwards.
Timeline and driving that show sudden
operation of brake pedal:&1
Because the brake pedal is being de-
pressed quickly, the angle of the line drops
off at a steep angle.
&2
Quick application of the brake pedal results
in a steep dropping line.
&3
When the brake pedal is repeatedly
depressed and released, the resulting line
appears wavy.
&4
Because the brake pedal was depressed
quickly the vehicle stopped abruptly. The
graph becomes perpendicular to the time
scale.

CORNERING G (timeline graph of lateral g-
force):
Displays the lateral g-force exerted on the
vehicle. The horizontal readout displays
lateral g-force while the vertical readout
displays a timeline of the past 20 seconds
of driving. G-force exerted on the vehicle
when turning left is displayed on the right
side of the screen. G-force exerted on the
vehicle when turning right is displayed on
the left side of the screen. The g-force
timeline will begin to scroll down automa-
tically after a short period of time.

GEAR EFFICIENCY (displays the fuel
economy level):
Displays the current fuel economy level of
each gear. The lighter the blue color
displayed, the better the fuel economy will
be. The lighter the red color displayed, the
higher the torque will be.

When using the M range mode, if you are unable
to change to the gear that you want, the position
indicator light will turn off.
