Turning the Engine Off
WARNING
Do not stop the engine while the vehicle
is moving: Stopping the engine while the vehicle
is moving for any reason other than in
an emergency is dangerous. Stopping
the engine while the vehicle is moving
will result in reduced braking ability
due to the loss of power braking, which
could cause an accident and serious
injury.

1. Stop the vehicle completely.
2. (Manual transaxle)
Shift into neutral and set the parking brake.
(Automatic transaxle)
Shift the selector lever to the P position and set the parking brake.
3. Press the push button start to turn off the engine. The ignition position is off.

Odometer
The odometer records the total distance
the vehicle has been driven.
Trip meter
The trip meter can record the total distance
of two trips. One is recorded in trip meter
A, and the other is recorded in trip meter
B.

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
fi lled.

When trip meter A is selected, pressing
the selector again within one second will
change to trip meter B mode.

When trip meter A is selected, TRIP A
will be displayed. When trip meter B is

The trip meter records the total distance
the vehicle is driven until the meter
is again reset. Return it to “0.0” by
depressing and holding the selector for
one second or more. Use this meter to
measure trip distances and to compute fuel
consumption.

the fuel economy monitor, or trip A
is reset using the trip meter when the
function which synchronizes the fuel
economy monitor and the trip meter is
on, the fuel economy data and trip A are
reset simultaneously.
 Refer to Fuel Economy Monitor on page 4-86 .
  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 9999.9 km
(mile).

Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge (Without Multi-information
Display)
Displays the engine coolant temperature.
The white 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 engine coolant temperature
gauge indicator fl ashes, 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 7-18 .

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 9-11 .
  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 (Without Multi-information Display)
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 Indication/Warning
Lights on page 4-33 .

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- fi ller lid is on the
left side of the vehicle.

Dashboard Illumination
(Without auto-light control)
When the position lights are turned
on with the ignition switched ON, the
brightness of the dashboard illumination is
dimmed.
(With auto-light control)
When the position lights are turned
on with the ignition switched ON, the
brightness of the dashboard illumination
is dimmed. However, when the light
sensor detects that the surrounding area is
bright such as when the position lights are
turned on in the daytime, the dashboard
illumination does not dim.
NOTE
   (With auto-light control)  When the ignition is switched ON in the
early evening or at dusk, the dashboard
illumination is dimmed for several
seconds until the light sensor detects
the brightness of the surrounding area,
however, the dimmer may cancel after
the brightness is detected.
  When the position lights are turned on,
the position lights indicator light in the
instrument cluster turns on.
 Refer to Headlights on page 4-51 .
The brightness of the instrument cluster
and dashboard illuminations can be
adjusted by rotating the knob.
  The brightness decreases by rotating the
knob to the left. A beep sound will be
heard when the knob has been rotated to
the maximum dim position.
   The brightness increases by rotating the
knob to the right.
