& Average fuel consumption
1) U.S.-spec. models
2) Except U.S.-spec. models
This indication shows the average rate of
fuel consumption since the trip meter was
last reset.
When either of the trip meter indications is
reset, the corresponding average fuel
consumption value is also reset. NOTE . The indicated values vary in accor-
dance with changes in the vehicle ’s
running conditions. Also, the indicated
values may differ slightly from the
actual values and should thus be
treated only as a guide.. When either trip meter indication is
reset, the average fuel consumption corresponding to that trip meter indica-
tion is not shown until the vehicle has
subsequently covered a distance of 1
mile (or 1 km).

sumption indicator
The display of the fuel consumption
indicator can be turned off.
To turn off the display of the indicator, turn
the ignition switch to the “LOCK ”position
and press the “+ ” button adjacent to the
information display for approximately 5
seconds. Then, the information display
and the clock display will blink for 3
seconds to notify that the display of the
fuel consumption has been turned off.
To restore the indicator, once again pressthe “+ ” button for approximately 5 sec-
onds.
NOTE . The initial display setting of the fuel
consumption indicator of your vehicle
has been set to operational at the time
of shipment from the factory. . The average fuel consumption is
calculated even while the indicator is
not displayed.. Even if you turn off the fuel con-
sumption indicator, the fuel consump-
tion indicator will automatically turn on when the battery voltage is discon-
nected and then reconnected for bat-
tery replacement or fuse replacement.
