CAUTION
If the gauge indicates coolant tempera-
ture near the hot (H) end of the normal
range, reduce vehicle speed to decrease
temperature. If the gauge is over the nor-
mal range, stop the vehicle as soon as
safely possible. If the engine is over-
heated, continued operation of the vehicle
may seriously damage the engine. For ad-
ditional information, refer to “If your ve-
hicle overheats” in the “In case of emer-
gency” section of this manual for
immediate action required.

in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during braking,
turning, acceleration, or going up or down hills.

TRIP COMPUTER (if so equipped)
The display of the trip computer is situated in the
speedometer display. When the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position, the display scrolls all
the modes of the trip computer and then shows
the mode chosen before the ignition switch was
placed in the OFF position.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, modes of the trip computer can be
selected by pressing the change/reset button.
The following modes can be selected:
Distance to empty (dte—mile or km)
The distance to empty (dte) mode provides you
with an estimation of the distance that can be
driven before refueling. The dte is constantly be-
ing calculated, based on the amount of fuel in the
fuel tank and the actual fuel consumption.
The display is updated every 30 seconds.
The dte mode includes a low range warning
feature: when the fuel level is low, the dte mode is
automatically selected and the digits blink in or-
der to draw the driver’s attention. Press the
change/reset button if you wish to return to the
mode that was selected before the warning oc-
curred. The dte mark will remain blinking until the
vehicle is refueled.
When the fuel level drops even lower, the dte
display will change to (----) .
NOTE:● If the amount of fuel added while the
ignition switch is OFF is small, the dis-
play just before the ignition switch is
turned OFF may continue to be dis-
played.
● When driving uphill or rounding curves,
the fuel in the tank shifts, which may
momentarily change the display.
Average fuel consumption (Mpg or
l/100km)
The average fuel consumption mode shows the
average fuel consumption since the last reset.
Resetting is done by pressing the change/reset
button for more than approximately 1 second.
The display is updated every 30 seconds. At

The average speed mode shows the average
vehicle speed since last reset. Resetting is done
by pressing the change/reset button for more
than approximately 1 second. The display is up-
dated every 30 seconds. The first 30 seconds
