The odometer is constantly displayed on
the screen when the ignition is switched
ON, and the TRIP A or TRIP B screen
can be displayed by operating the INFO
switch.
Press the INFO switch

Odometer,
Trip meter A
Odometer,
Trip meter B
Odometer
The odometer records the total distance
the vehicle has been driven.
Trip meter
The driving distance for a specified
interval is indicated. Two types (TRIP
A, TRIP B) of interval distance and the
average fuel economy for each can be
measured.
For instance, trip meter A can record the
distance from the point of origin, and
trip meter B can record the distance from
where the fuel tank is filled. When trip meter A is selected, TRIP A
will be displayed. When trip meter B is
selected, TRIP B will be displayed.
The trip meter and average fuel economy
can be reset by pressing the INFO switch
for 1.5 second or more while in each
mode.
NOTE

Only the trip meters record tenths of
kilometers (miles).
 The trip record will be erased when:
 The power supply is interrupted
(blown fuse or the battery is
disconnected).
 The vehicle is driven over 1999 km
(mile).

Instrument Cluster and Display
Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
Displays the engine coolant temperature.
The blue gauge indicates that the engine
coolant temperature is low, and the red
gauge indicates that the engine coolant
temperature is high and overheating.
CAUTION
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.
Refer to Overheating on page 7-17.
NOTE
 The temperature unit (Centigrade/
Fahrenheit) of the engine coolant gauge
display changes in conjunction with
the temperature unit of the outside
temperature display.
Refer to Personalization Features on
page 9-10.
 During normal driving, the engine
coolant temperature stabilizes at 100
°C (210 °F) or less, and the gauge
indicates a range lower than 100 °C
(210 °F).
 If the engine load increases and the
engine coolant temperature exceeds 100
°C (210 °F), the gauge indicates the
engine coolant temperature.
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 fuel level is low, () and () turn an
amber color. Refuel as soon as possible.
Refer to Taking Action on page 7-29 .
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 ()
indicates that the fuel-filler lid is on the
left side of the vehicle.

Outside Temperature Display
When the ignition is switched ON, the
outside temperature is displayed.
NOTE
Under the following conditions, the
outside temperature display may differ
from the actual outside temperature
depending on the surroundings and vehicle
conditions:
 Significantly cold or hot temperatures. Sudden changes in outside temperature. The vehicle is parked. The vehicle is driven at low speeds.
Changing the Temperature Unit of the
Outside Temperature Display
The outside temperature unit can be
switched between Celsius and Fahrenheit
using the following procedure.
Settings can be changed by operating the
center display screen.
Refer to Personalization Features on page
9-10.
NOTE
When the temperature unit indicated in the
outside temperature display is changed,
the temperature unit indicated in the
engine coolant gauge display changes in
conjunction with it.
Distance-to-empty
This 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.
NOTE
 Even though the distance-to-empty
display may indicate a sufficient amount
of remaining driving distance before
refueling is required, refuel as soon as
possible if the fuel level is very low or
the low fuel warning light illuminates.
 The display will 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 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
The average fuel economy is calculated
every minute from the total traveled
distance on the trip meter and the total
fuel consumption, and the average fuel
economy for either TRIP A or TRIP B is
displayed.
The average fuel economy and trip
meters can be reset by pressing the INFO
switch for 1.5 s or more while in each
mode. After the data is cleared, the fuel
consumption is recalculated and the - - -
L/100 km (- - - mpg) for the one minute
prior to it being displayed is indicated.
Current Fuel Economy
This displays the current fuel economy
by calculating the amount of fuel
consumption and the distance traveled.
Maintenance Monitor
The following maintenance period
notifications can be displayed by turning
the Maintenance Monitor on.
 Scheduled Maintenance Tire Rotation Oil Change
For the setting method and indications
for the maintenance monitor, refer to the
Maintenance Monitor.
Refer to Maintenance Monitor on page
6-18.
The maintenance monitor displays the
information when the ignition is switched
ON.
NOTE
This function is inoperable while the
vehicle is being driven.
Message display
When the remaining time or the distance
approaches 0, a message is displayed each
time the ignition is switched ON.
NOTE
 If any of the INFO switch is pressed
while a message is displayed, it will no
longer be displayed the next time the
ignition is switched ON.
 After the vehicle is serviced and the
remaining time/distance is reset, the
message for the next maintenance
period will be displayed when the
remaining distance or time to the next
maintenance period approaches 0
(displays when engine is started).
 If there are multiple messages, they are
displayed according to their order.
 If OFF is set for Messages, messages
are not displayed.
