equipped with the following:
a speedometer
a tachometer
an odometer
two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were
last set to zero)
a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since
the left segment of the fuel meter
started flashing)
a clock
a fuel meter
a coolant temperature display
a self-diagnosis deviceTIPBe sure to turn the key to “ON” be-

keep it within the ideal power range.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the ta-
chometer needle will sweep once
across the r/min range and then return
to zero r/min in order to test the electri-
cal circuit.NOTICE

order:
TRIP A → TRIP B → ODO → TRIP A
When the fuel amount in the fuel tank
decreases to 3.4 L (0.90 US gal,
0.75 Imp.gal), the left segment of the
fuel meter will start flashing, and the odometer display will automatically
change to the fuel reserve tripmeter
mode “F-TRIP” and start counting the
distance traveled from that point. In
that case, push the “SELECT” button
to switch the display between the vari-

the following order:
F-TRIP
→ TRIP A → TRIP B → ODO →
F-TRIP
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
