Brightness of the meters (day mode and night mode)
lThe brightness of the meters are changed between day mode and night
mode.
• Day mode: When the tail lights are off or when the tail lights are on but
the surrounding area is bright
• Night mode: When the tail lights are on and the surrounding area is dark
l When in night mode, the brightness will be reduced slightly unless the
meters are set to the maximum brightness level.
n Suspension of the settings display
lWhile driving, the multi-information display cannot be changed to setting
mode. Before changing the settings, stop the vehicle in a safe place.
l In the following situations, operation of some of the settings display may be
temporarily suspended.
• When a warning message appears on the multi-information display
• When the vehicle begins to move
n When disconnecting and reco nnecting battery terminals
The drive information data will be reset.
n Liquid crystal display
Small spots or light spots may appear on the display. This phenomenon is
characteristic of liquid crystal displays, and there is no problem continuing to
use the display.
WARNING
nCaution for use while driving
lWhen operating the multi-information display while driving, pay extra
attention to the safety of the area around the vehicle.
l Do not look continuously at the multi-information display while driving as
you may fail to see pedestrians, objects on the road, etc. ahead of the
vehicle.
n The information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal
information display. At extremely low temperatures, the information display
monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new gear
number appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to down-
shift again, causing rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an
accident resulting in death or injury.
n Cautions during setting up the display
As the engine needs to be running during setting up the display, ensure that
the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area
such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide (CO)
may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious
health hazard.
