1. Fuel reserve tripmeter
To reset a tripmeter, select it by pus-
hing the “SELECT” button until “Trip”
or “Trip F” begins flashing (“Trip” or
“Trip F” will only flash for five

flashing, push the “RESET” button for
at least one second. If you do not
reset the fuel reserve tripmetermanually, it will reset itself automati-
cally and the display will return to the
prior mode after refueling and trave-
ling 5 km (3 mi).
TIP
The display cannot be changed back
to “Trip F” after pushing the “RESET”
button.
Fuel meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear

ches the bottom segment near “E”,
the fuel level warning indicator and
the bottom segment will flash. Refuel
as soon as possible.
Coolant temperature meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature meter indicates

coolant temperature varies with chan-
ges in the weather and engine load. Ifthe top segment and coolant tempe-
rature warning indicator flash, stop
the vehicle and let the engine cool.
