If there is no past fuel economy
information such as after first
purchasing your vehicle or the
information is deleted when the battery
cables are disconnected, the actual
distance-to empty/range may differ
from the amount indicated.
Average Fuel Economy Mode
This mode displays the average fuel
economy by calculating the total fuel
consumption and the total traveled
distance since purchasing the vehicle,
reconnecting the battery after
disconnection, or resetting the data.
The average fuel economy is calculated
and displayed every minute. To clear
the data being displayed, push the
INFO switch for more than 1.5 seconds.
After pushing the INFO switch, “- - -
mpg” (“ ---L/100km”)willbe
displayed for about 1 minute before the
fuel economy is recalculated and
displayed. Current Fuel Economy Mode
This mode displays the current fuel
economy by calculating the amount of
fuel consumption and the distance
traveled. Current fuel economy will be
calculated and displayed every two
seconds.
When you've slowed to about 3 MPH
(5 km/h) , “- - - mpg” (“- - - L/100 km”)
will be displayed. Average Vehicle Speed Mode
This mode displays the average vehicle
speed by calculating the distance and
the time traveled since connecting the
battery or resetting the data.
Average vehicle speed will be
calculated and displayed every
10 seconds. To clear the data being

Tachometer
The tachometer shows engine speed in
thousands of revolutions per minute
(rpm).
The range varies depending on the type
of gauge. Engine Coolant
Temperature Gauge And
Fuel Gauge
Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
Note: If the high engine coolant
temperature warning light (red) turns
on, there is a possibility of overheating. Park the vehicle in a safe place
immediately and take appropriate
measures. If the vehicle continues to be
driven, it could cause damage to the
engine.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge 2 shows approximately
how much fuel is remaining in the tank
when the ignition is in the ON position.
We recommend keeping the tank over
1/4 full.
E = Empty
F = Full
If the low fuel warning light illuminates
or the fuel level is very low, refuel as
soon as possible.
Note:
After refueling, it may require some
time for the indicator to stabilize. In
addition, the indicator may deviate
while driving on a slope or curve since
the fuel moves in the tank.
The display indicating a quarter or
less remaining fuel has more segments
to show the remaining fuel level in
greater detail.
The direction of the arrow on the
fuel gauge indicates that the fuel door
lid is on the left side of the vehicle.05020103-12A-002AB
