When Driving
Instrument Cluster and Display
NOTE
When the tachometer needle enters the
STRIPED ZONE, this indicates to the
driver that the gears should be shifted
before entering the RED ZONE.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge shows approximately
how much fuel is remaining in the tank
when the ignition is switched ON. We
recommend keeping the tank over 1/4 full.
Type A
Full1/4 Full
Type B
Full1/4 Full
If the low fuel warning light illuminates or
the fuel level is very low, refuel as soon as
possible.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page
4-16 .
NOTE
 y  After refueling, it may require some
time for the indicator to stabilize. In
addition, the indicator may deviate
while driving on a slope or curve since
the fuel moves in the tank.
 y The display indicating a quarter or less
remaining fuel has more segments to
show the remaining fuel level in greater
detail.
 y The direction of the arrow () indicates
that the fuel-fi ller lid is on the left side
of the vehicle.
Dashboard Illumination
Rotate the knob to adjust the brightness
of the instrument cluster and other
illuminations in the dashboard.
NOTE
 y  The brightness of dashboard
illuminations can be adjusted when
the headlights and Parking lights are
turned on.
 y When the dashboard illumination
brightness cannot be adjusted any more,
a beep sound will be heard.
