The odometer shows the total
distance your vehicle has been
driven. It measures miles in U.S.
models and kilometers in Canadian
models. It is illegal under U.S.
federal law and Canadian provincial/
territorial regulations to disconnect,
reset, or alter the odometer with the
intent to change the number of miles
or kilometers indicated.
Both trip meters will reset if the
vehicle’s battery goes dead or is
disconnected.
In certain weather conditions,
temperature readings near f reezing(32°F, 0°C) could mean that ice is
f orming on the road surf ace.
The temperature sensor is in the
f ront bumper. The temperature
reading can be affected by heat
ref lection f rom the road surf ace,
engine heat, and the exhaust f rom
surrounding traf f ic. This can cause
an incorrect temperature reading
when your vehicle speed is under
19 mph (30 km/h). When you start
your trip, the sensor is not f ully
acclimatized, theref ore it may take
several minutes until the proper
temperature is displayed. This shows the outside temperature
in Fahrenheit (U.S. models), or in
Celsius (Canadian models). If the outside temperature is
incorrectly displayed, you can adjust
it up to 5°F in U.S. models ( 3°C
in Canadian models) warmer or
cooler.
The temperature must be
stabilized bef ore doing this
procedure.
To adjust the outside temperature
indicator, press and hold the TRIP/
RESET button f or 10 seconds. The
f ollowing sequence will appear f or 1
secondeach:0,1,2,3,4,5, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 (U.S.) or 0, 1, 2, 3,
3, 2, 1, 0 (Canada).
When the temperature reaches the
desired value, release the TRIP/
RESET button. You should see the
new outside temperature displayed.
Each trip meter works independently,
so you can keep track of two
dif f erent distances. To reset a trip
meter, display it, and then press and
hold the TRIP/RESET button until
the number resets to ‘‘0.0’’. There are two trip meters: Trip A
and Trip B. Switch between these
displays by pressing the TRIP/
RESET button repeatedly. This meter shows the number of
miles (U.S.) or kilometers (Canada)
driven since you last reset it.

This display shows the estimated
distance you can travel on the fuel
remaining in the tank.
This distance is estimated f rom the
f uel economy you have achieved
over the last f ew miles (kilometers),
so it will vary with changes in speed,
traffic condition, etc.
This display shows the instant f uel
economy you are getting.
It shows the number of mpg (U.S.)
or l/100 km (Canada).
When either of the trip meters (trip
A or B) is displayed, your vehicle’s
average f uel economy since you last
resetthattripmetercanbeshown
on the inf ormation display (mpg on
U.S. models and l/100 km on
Canadian models). This number is
updated once per 10 seconds. To see
the average f uel economy, press and
release the TRIP/RESET button
repeatedly.
The average f uel economy will be
reset when you reset the trip meter,
or if the vehicle’s battery goes dead
or is disconnected.
This indicator is displayed as the
