When Driving
Instrument Cluster and Display
NOTE
When the ignition is switched to ACC
or off, the odometer or trip meters
cannot be displayed, however, pressing
the selector can inadvertently switch
the trip meters or reset them during an
approximate ten-minute period in the
following cases:
 
 After the ignition is switched to off
from ON.
  After the driver's door is opened.
Odometer
The odometer records the total distance
the vehicle has been driven.
Trip meter
The trip meter can record the total distance
of two trips. One is recorded in trip meter
A, and the other is recorded in trip meter
B.
For instance, trip meter A can record the
distance from the point of origin, and
trip meter B can record the distance from
where the fuel tank is fi lled.
When trip meter A is selected, pressing
the selector again within one second will
change to trip meter B mode.
When trip meter A is selected, TRIP A
will be displayed. When trip meter B is
selected, TRIP B will be displayed. The trip meter records the total distance
the vehicle is driven until the meter
is again reset. Return it to “0.0” by
depressing and holding the selector for
one second or more. Use this meter to
measure trip distances and to compute fuel
consumption.
NOTE
 (Vehicles with type C/type D audio) If the fuel economy data is reset
using the fuel economy monitor,
or trip A is reset using the trip
meter when the function which
synchronizes the fuel economy
monitor and the trip meter is on, the
fuel economy data and trip A are
reset simultaneously.
 Refer to Fuel Economy Monitor on
page 4-94 .
  Only the trip meters record tenths of
kilometres (miles).
  The trip record will be erased when:




 The power supply is interrupted
(blown fuse or the battery is
disconnected).
 


 The vehicle is driven over 9999.9
km (mile).

(Except European model)
NOTE
  Even though the distance-to-empty
display may indicate a suffi cient
amount of remaining driving distance
before refuelling is required, refuel
as soon as possible if the fuel level
is very low or the low fuel warning
light illuminates.
  The display may not change unless
you add more than approximately 9 L
(2.3 US gal, 1.9 Imp gal) of fuel.
  The distance-to-empty is the
approximate remaining distance
the vehicle can be driven until all
the graduation marks in the fuel
gauge (indicating the remaining fuel
supply) disappear.
Average fuel economy mode
This mode displays the average fuel
economy by calculating the total fuel
consumption and the total travelled
distance since purchasing the vehicle, re-
connecting the battery after disconnection,
or resetting the data. The average fuel
economy is calculated and displayed every
minute.
(European model)
(Except European model)
To clear the data being displayed, press the
