not press the trip knob within 10 seconds
of illumination of the odometer/trip meter,
the odometer/trip meter will turn off. Also,
if you open and close the driver ’s door
within 10 seconds of illumination of the

tion meter and battery is broken for any
reason such as vehicle maintenance or
fuse replacement, the data recorded on
the trip meter will be lost. !
Vehicle communication system
malfunction indication
The vehicle communication system car-
ries various types of information (vehicle
speed, running conditions, etc.) to control
modules. In the event of a malfunction in
this communication system, the trip meter
will show “

pointer of the tachometer in the red
zone. This may cause severe da-
mage to the engine.
NOTE
To protect the engine while the select
lever is in the “P ” or “N ” position, the
engine is controlled so that the engine
speed may not become too high even if
the accelerator pedal is depressedhard. & Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge shows the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during
braking, turning or acceleration due to fuel level movement in the tank.
If you press the trip knob while the ignition
switch is in the
“LOCK ”or “Acc ”position,
the fuel gauge will light up and indicate the
amount of fuel remaining in the tank. NOTE
You will see the “”sign in the fuel
gauge meter.
This indicates that the fuel filler door
(lid) is located on the right side of thevehicle. &
Temperature gauge
1) Normal operating range
The temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature when the ignition
switch is in the “ON ”position.
The coolant temperature will vary in
accordance with the outside temperature
and driving conditions.
We recommend that you drive moderately
until the pointer of the temperature gauge
reaches near the middle of the range.
Engine operation is optimum with the
engine coolant at this temperature range.
Also, high revving operation while the
engine is not sufficiently warmed up
should be avoided.

7-4Starting and operating/Fuel
WARNING
Before opening the fuel filler cap,
first touch the vehicle body or a
metal portion of the fuel pump or
similar object to discharge any
static electricity that may be present
on your body. If your body is carry-
ing an electrostatic charge, there is
a possibility that an electric spark
could ignite the fuel, which could
burn you. To avoid acquiring a new
static electric charge, do not get
back into the vehicle while refueling
is in progress.
1) Open
2) Close 3. Remove the fuel filler cap by turning it
slowly counterclockwise.
WARNING
. Gasoline vapor is highly flam-
mable. Before refueling, always
first stop the engine and close all
vehicle doors and windows.
Make sure that there are no
lighted cigarettes, open flames
or electrical sparks in the adja-
cent area. Refueling must be
performed outside. Quickly wipe
up any spilled fuel.
. When opening the cap, grasp it
firmly and turn it slowly to the
left. Do not remove the cap
quickly. Fuel may be under pres-
sure and spray out of the fuel
filler neck, especially in hot
weather. If you hear a hissing
sound while you are removing
the cap, wait for the sound to
stop and then slowly open the
cap to prevent fuel from spraying
out and creating a fire hazard.
. When refueling, insert the fuel
nozzle securely into the fuel filler
pipe. If the nozzle is lifted or not
fully inserted, its automatic stop-
ping mechanism may not func- tion, causing fuel to overflow the
tank and creating a fire hazard.
. Stop refueling when the auto-
matic stop mechanism on the
fuel nozzle activates. If you con-
tinue to add fuel, temperature
changes or other conditions
may cause fuel to overflow from
the tank and create a fire hazard.
4. Stop filling the tank after the fuel filler
pump automatically turns off. Do not add
any more fuel.
CAUTION
Make sure that the cap is tightened
until it clicks to prevent fuel spillage
in the event of an accident.
5. Put the cap back on, turn it clockwise
until you hear a clicking noise. Be certain
not to catch the tether under the cap whiletightening.
6. Close the fuel filler lid completely.
If you spill any fuel on the painted surface,
rinse it off immediately. Otherwise, the
painted surface could be damaged.
