Gauges
Speedometer
The  speedometer  indicates  the
speed of the vehicle and is calibrated
in kilometers per hour (km/h).
Ta c h o m e t e r
The  tachometer  indicates  the
approximate  number  of  engine  revo-
lutions per minute (rpm).
Use the tachometer to select the cor-
rect  shift  points  and  to  prevent  lug-
ging and/or over-revving the engine.
Do  not  operate  the  engine  within
the  tachometer's  RED  ZONE. This
may cause severe engine damage.
Engine Coolant Temperature
gauge
This  gauge  indicates  the  tempera-
ture  of  the  engine  coolant  when  the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
If  the  gauge  pointer  moves
beyond  the  normal  range  area
toward  the  "H  (Hot)"  position, it
indicates  overheating  that  may
damage the engine.
Do  not  continue  driving  with  an
overheated  engine. If  your  vehicle
overheats, refer  to  "If  the  Engine
Overheats" in chapter 6.

Fuel Gauge
This  gauge  indicates  the  approxi-
mate amount of fuel remaining in the
fuel tank.
Information 
• The  fuel  tank  capacity  is  given  in
chapter 8.
• A low fuel level also is indicated by a
low  fuel  warning  light,  which  will
illuminate  when  the  fuel  tank  is
nearly empty.
• On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge
pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel
warning  light  may  come  on  earlier
than  usual  due  to  the  movement  of
fuel in the tank.
Avoid  driving  with  an  extremely
low  fuel  level. Running  out  of  fuel
could  cause  the  engine  to  misfire
damaging the catalytic converter.
NOTICE
i
Never  remove  the  radiator  cap
or  reservoir  cap  when  the
engine  is  hot. The  engine
coolant  is  under  pressure  and
could  cause  severe  burns. Wait
until  the  engine  is  cool  before
adding coolant to the reservoir.

Running  out  of  fuel  can  expose
vehicle occupants to danger.

after  the  warning  light  comes

comes  close  to  the  "E  (Empty)"
level.

Low Washer Fluid (if equipped)
This  warning  message  is  displayed
in  the  service  reminder  mode  if  the
washer  fluid  level  in  the  reservoir  is
nearly empty.
Have  the  washer  fluid  reservoir
refilled.
Low Fuel
This warning message is displayed if
the fuel tank is almost out of fuel.
When this message is displayed, the
low  fuel  level  warning  light  in  the
cluster will come on.
It  is  recommended  to  look  for  the
nearest service station and refuel as
soon as possible.
Add fuel as soon as possible.
Engine has overheated
This  warning  message  is  displayed
when  the  engine  coolant  tempera-
ture  is  above  120°C  (248°F). This
means that the engine is overheated
and may be damaged.
If your vehicle is overheated, refer
to "Overheating" in chapter 6.

Driving your vehicle

When the ECO mode is activated:
•The acceleration response may be
slightly  reduced  as  the  accelerator
pedal is depressed moderately.
•The air conditioner performance
may be limited.
•The shift pattern of the automatic
transmission may change.
•The engine noise may get louder.
The  above  situations  are  normal
conditions  when  the  ECO  mode  is
activated, to improve fuel efficiency.
Limitation  of  the  ECO  mode  oper-
ation:
If  the  following  conditions  occur
whilst  the  ECO  mode  is  operating,
the  system  operation  is  limited  even
though  there  is  no  change  in  the
ECO indicator.
•When the coolant temperature is
low:
The  system  will  be  limited  until
engine performance becomes nor-
mal.
•When driving up a hill:
The  system  will  be  limited  in  gain-
ing  power  when  driving  uphill
because  engine  torque  is  restrict-
ed.
•When driving the vehicle with the
automatic  transmission  gear  shift
lever in manual shift mode:
The  system  will  be  limited  due  to
the shift location.
•When the accelerator pedal is fully
depressed for a few seconds:
The system will be limited, judging
that the driver wants to speed up.
SPORT mode
SPORT  mode  manages
the  driving  dynamics  by
automatically adjusting the
steering  effort,  and  the
engine  and  transmission  control
logic  for  enhanced  driver  perform-
ance.
•When SPORT mode is selected by
pressing the DRIVE MODE button,
the  SPORT  indicator  (orange
colour) will illuminate.
•Whenever the engine is restarted,
the  Drive  Mode  will  revert  back  to
NORMAL mode. If SPORT mode is
desired,  re-select  SPORT  mode
from the DRIVE MODE button.
•When SPORT mode is activated:
- The  engine  r pm  will  tend  to
remain  raised  over  a  certain
length  of  time  even  after  releas-
ing the accelerator
- Upshifts are delayed when accel-
erating
Information 
In  SPORT mode,  the  fuel  efficiency
may decrease.
