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

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. &

housing and damage the mirror. !
Photosensors
The mirror has a photosensor attached on
both the front and back sides. During
nighttime driving, these sensors detect
distracting glare from vehicle headlights
behind you and automatically dim the
mirror to eliminate glare and preserve
your vision. For this reason, use care not
to cover the sensors with stickers, or other
similar items. Periodically wipe the sen-
sors clean using a piece of dry soft cotton
cloth or an applicator. !
