1. Speedometer•Indicates the speed of the car
2. Fuel Level Gauge •The fuel gauge in the EVIC indicates the amount of
fuel left in the tank.
• The light comes on, together with a chime and the
display of a message in the EVIC, when the gas tank
has 1.5 to 2 gallons (5 to 7 liters) of fuel remaining.
3. EVIC Display •The vehicle can be equipped with multifunctional
EVIC which offers useful information to the driver.
• With the ignition in the STOP/OFF position (and the
key removed, for vehicles with mechanical key),
opening/closing of a door will activate the EVIC for
viewing, and display the total miles or kilometers in
the odometer. 4. Engine Coolant Temperature
•The temperature gauge in the EVIC displays the
temperature of the engine coolant and starts provid-
ing indications when the coolant temperature ex-
ceeds approximately 122° F. In the normal use of the
car, the temperature gauge can move in different
directions based on the use of the car. The light

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (OBD II)
Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated onboard
diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors
the performance of the emissions, engine, and automatic
transmission control systems. When these systems are
operating properly, your vehicle will provide excellent
performance and fuel economy, as well as engine emis-
sions well within current government regulations.
If any of these systems require service, the OBD II system
will turn on the “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL).” It
will also store diagnostic codes and other information to
assist your service technician in making repairs. Al-
though your vehicle will usually be drivable and not
need towing, see your authorized dealer for service as
soon as possible.
CAUTION!
•Prolonged driving with the MIL on could cause
further damage to the emission control system. It
could also affect fuel economy and driveability.
The vehicle must be serviced before any emissions
tests can be performed.
• If the MIL is flashing, while the engine is running,
severe catalytic converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service is required.
