Current fuel economy mode
This mode displays the current fuel
economy by calculating the amount of fuel
consumption and the distance travelled.
Current fuel economy will be calculated
and displayed every 2 seconds.


When you've slowed to about 5 km/h
(3 mph), - - - L/100 km (- - - mpg) will be
displayed.
Tachometer *
The tachometer shows engine speed in
thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm).

NOTE
When the tachometer needle enters the
STRIPED ZONE, this indicates to the
driver that the gears should be shifted
before entering the RED ZONE.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge shows approximately
how much fuel is remaining in the tank
when the ignition is switched ON. We
recommend keeping the tank over 1/4 full.


Full
1/4 Full
Empty

If the low fuel warning light illuminates or
the fuel level is very low, refuel as soon as
possible.
Refer to Warning Lights on page 4-38 .
NOTE
  After refuelling, 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 ( )
indicates that the fuel-¿ ller À ap is on
the left side of the vehicle.
(SKYACTIV-D 1.5)
If inconsistency in engine performance
or stalling occurs due to low fuel level
conditions, refuel the vehicle as soon as
possible and add at least 10 L (2.7 US gal,
2.2 Imp gal) of fuel.
Instrument Panel Illumination
When the position lights are turned
on with the ignition switched ON,
the brightness of the instrument panel
illumination is dimmed.
NOTE
When the position lights are turned on,
the position lights indicator light in the
instrument cluster turns on.
Refer to Headlights on page 4-61 .

Outside Temperature Warning
*
When the outside temperature is low, the
indication À ashes and a beep sound is
heard to warn the driver of the possibility
of icy roads.
If the outside temperature is lower than
about 4 °C (39 °F), the outside temperature
display and the

Distance-to-empty mode
This mode displays the approximate
distance you can travel on the remaining
fuel based on the fuel economy.

The distance-to-empty will be calculated
and displayed every second.
(European model)


(Except European model)


NOTE
  Even though the distance-to-empty
display may indicate a suf¿ cient
amount of remaining driving distance
before refuelling is required, refuel
as soon as possible if the fuel level
is very low or the low fuel warning
light illuminates.
  The display may not change unless
you add more than approximately 9 L
(2.3 US gal, 1.9 Imp gal) of fuel.
  The distance-to-empty is the
approximate remaining distance
the vehicle can be driven until all
the graduation marks in the fuel
gauge (indicating the remaining fuel
supply) disappear.
  If there is no past fuel economy
information such as after ¿ rst
purchasing your vehicle or the
information is deleted when the
battery leads 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 travelled
distance since purchasing the vehicle, re-
connecting the battery after disconnection,
or resetting the data. The average fuel
economy is calculated and displayed every
minute.
(European model)


(Except European model)

into neutral, release the clutch pedal,
and try again.
  (With i-stop function)  If the engine has stopped due to
stalling, it can be restarted by
depressing the clutch pedal within 3
seconds of the engine stopping.
 The engine cannot be restarted even
if the clutch pedal is depressed under
the following conditions:
 


 The driver's door is open.



 The driver's seat belt is unfastened.



 The clutch pedal is not released
completely after the engine stalled.
 


 The clutch pedal is depressed with
the engine not stopped completely.

Gear Shift Indicator (GSI)
The Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) supports
you to obtain optimum fuel economy and
smooth driving. It displays the selected
gear position in the instrument cluster as
well as noti¿ es the driver to change to the
most suitable gear position corresponding
to the actual driving condition.


Selected gear position Suitable gear position
Indication Condition
Numeral The selected gear position is
displayed.

and numeral Shift up or down to the indicated
gear position is recommended.

CAUTION
Do not rely solely on the shift-up/
shift-down recommendations by
indications. The actual driving situation
might require shift operations different
from indication. To avoid the risk of
accidents, the road and traf¿ c conditions
have to be judged correctly by the driver
before shifting.

Automatic Transaxle
Ty p e C

Manual shift mode indicationGear position indication
NOTE
  If the gears cannot be shifted down
when driving at higher speeds, the
gear position indication will À ash
twice to signal that the gears cannot
be shifted down (to protect the
transaxle).
  If the automatic transaxle À uid
(ATF) temperature becomes too
high, there is the possibility that the
transaxle will switch to automatic
shift mode, cancelling manual
shift mode and turning off the gear
position indication illumination.
This is a normal function to protect
the AT. After the ATF temperature
has decreased, the gear position
indication illumination turns back on
and driving in manual shift mode is
restored.

The gear shift indicator supports you to
obtain optimum fuel economy and smooth
