Regardless of display mode chosen, when SelectShift Automatic™

tachometer if not already selected. After the round tachometer
displays, other display modes with the bar tachometer can also be

• XXX mi (km) to empty: Shows approximate fuel level before the fuel
tank reaches empty. The value is dynamic and can change (raise or
lower) depending on driving style.
• Fuel gauge: Indicates approximately how much fuel is left in the fuel
tank. The fuel gauge may vary slightly when the vehicle is in motion
or on a grade. When the fuel level becomes low, the level indicator will
change to amber. When the fuel level becomes critically low, the level
indicator will change to red.
Note: When a MyKey® is in use, low fuel warnings will display earlier.
The fuel icon and arrow indicates which side of the vehicle the fuel
filler door is located.
• Bar/Round tachometer: Indicates the engine speed in revolutions per
minute. Driving with your tachometer pointer continuously at the top
of the scale may damage the engine. During SelectShift Automatic™
transmission (SST) use, the currently selected gear will appear in the
display.
• Engine coolant temperature gauge: Indicates engine coolant
temperature. At normal operating temperature, the level indicator will
be in the normal range. If the engine coolant temperature exceeds the
normal range, stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, switch off
the engine and let the engine cool.
