The outside temperature is always indi-
cated on the display with the ignition
switch in the
“ON ”position.
& Outside temperature indica- tor
1) U.S. spec. models
2) Except U.S. spec. models
The outside temperature indicator shows
the outside temperature in a range from

22 to 122 8F( 30 to 50 8C).
The indicator can give a false reading
under any of the following conditions: . When there is too much sun.
. During idling; while running at low
speeds in a traffic jam; when the engine
is restarted immediately following a shut-down. . When the actual outside temperature
falls outside the specified indicator range. ! Road surface freeze warning indi- cation
1) U.S. spec. models
2) Except U.S. spec. models
When the outside temperature drops to 37 8F(3 8C) or lower, the temperature
indication flashes to show that the road surface may be frozen.
If the outside temperature drops to 37
8F
(3 8C) or lower while the display is giving
an indication other than the outside
temperature, the display switches to the
outside temperature indication and flashes
for 5 seconds before returning to its
original indication.
If the display is already indicating an
outside temperature of 37 8F(3 8C) or lower
when the ignition switch is turned to the“ ON ”position, the indication does not
flash. NOTE
The outside temperature indication
may differ from the actual outside
temperature. The road surface freeze
warning indication should be treated
only as a guide. Be sure to check the

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). & Current fuel consumption
1) U.S. spec. models
2) Except U.S. spec. models
This indication shows the rate of fuel consumption at the present moment.
& Driving range on remaining fuel
1) U.S. spec. models
2) Except U.S. spec. models
The driving range indicates the distance
that can be driven taking into account the
amount of fuel remaining in the tank and
the average rate of fuel consumption.
When the low fuel warning light illumi-
nates, the driving range indication flashes
for 5 seconds. (The display first switches
to the driving range indication if it was
originally giving some other indication.)
1) U.S. spec. models
2) Except U.S. spec. models
If the driving range is shown as “
”,
there is only a tiny amount of fuel left in the
tank. You must refuel the vehicle immedi-
ately. NOTE
The driving range on remaining fuel is
only a guide. The indicated value may
differ from the actual driving range on
remaining fuel, so you must immedi-
ately fill the tank when the low fuel
warning light illuminates.

Turn signal lever
To activate the right turn signal, push the
turn signal lever up. To activate the left
turn signal, push the turn signal lever
down. When the turn is finished, the lever
will return automatically. If the lever does
not return after cornering, return the lever
to the neutral position by hand.
To signal a lane change, push the turn
signal lever up or down slightly and hold it
during the lane change. The turn signal
indicator lights will flash in the direction of
the turn or lane change. The lever will
return automatically to the neutral position
when you release it.Illumination brightness con- trol
The illumination brightness of the clock
display, audio, air conditioner, multi func-
tion display and meter/gauge dims under
the following conditions. .

! Auto-dimming function
The auto-dimming function is an anti-glare
capability which automatically reduces
glare coming from headlights of vehicles
behind you.
By pressing the power button, the auto-
dimming function is toggled on or off.
When the auto-dimming function is on, the
function indicator will illuminate in green.
Even with the mirror in anti-glare mode,
the mirror surface turns bright if the
transmission is shifted into the “R ” (re-
verse) position. This is to ensure good
rearward visibility during reversing.

The mirror has a photosensor attached on
both the front and back sides. During
nighttime driving, these sensors detect
distracting glare from vehicle headlights
behind you and automatically dim the
mirror to eliminate glare and preserve
your vision. For this reason, use care not
to cover the sensors with stickers, or other
similar items. Periodically wipe the sen-
sors clean using a piece of dry soft cotton
cloth or an applicator. NOTE
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper
towel or similar item dampened with
glass cleaner. Do not spray glass
cleaner directly on the mirror surface.
By doing so, the sprayed glass cleaner
could enter the inside of the mirrorhousing. That may cause a malfunction
in the mirror. !
Rear view image display
When the ignition switch is in the “ON ”
position and the transmission is in the “R ”
(reverse) position, the rear view camera
automatically displays the rear view image
behind the vehicle on the inside mirror.
Also, the following help lines are indicated
as a guide to help you realize the actual
distance from the display.1) Vehicle width line (oblique vertical line)
2) Approx. 10 feet (3 m) from the bumper (green horizontal line)
3) Approx. 6.5 feet (2 m) from the bumper (green horizontal line)
4) Approx. 3 feet (1 m) from the bumper (yellow horizontal line)
5) Approx. 1.5 feet (0.5 m) from the bumper (red horizontal line)
By pressing the power button while the
transmission is in the “R ” (reverse) posi-
tion, the rear view image display toggles to
the on or off mode.
Once the rear view image display is set to
the off mode, the display stays in the off
mode, with the function indicator in or-
ange, every time the transmission is
shifted into the “R ”(reverse) position.
