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- cation1) 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

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
condition of the road surface beforedriving. & Current fuel consumption (if equipped)
This display shows the rate of fuel con- 
sumption at the present moment. &
Average fuel consumption
1) U.S.-spec. models 
2) Except U.S.-spec. models
This display shows the average rate of 
fuel consumption since the trip meter was
last reset. 
When either of the trip meter displays 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.. After either trip meter display is
reset, the average fuel consumption corresponding to that trip meter dis-
play is not shown until the vehicle has
subsequently covered a distance of 1
mile (or 1 km). &
Turn off display of fuel con- 
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   

other similar items. Periodically wipe the 
sensors clean using a piece of dry soft
cotton cloth or an applicator. !Compass zone adjustment

Compass calibration
1. For optimum calibration, switch off all 
nonessential electrical accessories (rear
window defogger, heater/air conditioning
system, spotlight, etc.) and ensure all
doors are shut. 
2. Drive to an open, level area away from 
large metallic objects or structures and
make certain the ignition switch is in the“ ON ”position.
3. Press and hold the right button for 6 - 7
seconds then release, and the compass
will enter the calibration mode. “CAL ”and
direction will be displayed. 
4. Drive slowly in a circle until “CAL ”
disappears from the display (approxi- 
mately two to three circles). The compass
is now calibrated. 
5. Further calibration may be necessary 
should outside influences cause the mirror
to read inaccurately. You will know that
this has occurred if your compass begins
to read in only limited directions. Should
you encounter this situation, return to step
one of the above procedure and recali-
brate the mirror. &
