Displaying timeline of quick and sudden
acceleration and driving:
*1Quickly depressing the accelerator pedal
will result in a steep climbing line.
*2When the accelerator is being depressed
quickly, the angle of the line slopes upwards
at a steep angle.
*3Releasing the accelerator pedal quickly will
result in a pointed line.
*4Here, the accelerator is being depressed
and released repeatedly, causing unstable
acceleration. As a result, unstable wavy line
is displayed.
BRAKING SCREEN
The braking screen displays the results of how
the vehicle behaves based on the manner in
which the driver operates the vehicle. The
information displayed is for confirmation pur-
poses. The results of how the brake pedal is
used are displayed as a timeline of g-force
exerted on the vehicle during deceleration. Use
the information to improve your operation of the
brake pedal.
WARNING
.Use the information from the multi
function meter strictly as a reference
to make your driving more comforta-
ble. The readings are not meant to
prevent accidents caused by reckless
driving or poor driving conditions
(due to weather, road condition,
etc.) . Always obey all traffic regula-
tions and posted speed limits.
. Red zone readings are configured to
function only as a guide for smooth
driving. The readings are not in-
tended to prevent accidents caused
by reckless driving.
How to view braking screen
*1BRAKING G (timeline graph):
Displays the deceleration of the g-force
being exerted on the vehicle. The vertical
readout illustrates the progress of decelera-
tion and the horizontal readout tracks the
deceleration timeline of the past 20 sec-
onds.
*2Red zone display:
The color of the graph will change when the
level of g-force exerted on the vehicle while
decelerating exceeds a preset level.
*3G-meter:
Displays the g-force currently being exerted
due on the vehicle due to deceleration.

*4Because the brake pedal was depressed
quickly the vehicle stopped abruptly. The
graph becomes perpendicular to the time
scale.
STEERING SCREEN
The steering screen allows you to confirm how
the vehicle responds to your driving by displaying
the results of how you operate the vehicle. The
results of your driving are displayed as a timeline
of the g-force exerted on the vehicle. Use the
displayed information to improve your steering
smoothness.

How to view steering screen
*1CORNERING G (timeline graph of lateral g-
force):
Displays the lateral g-force exerted on the
vehicle. The horizontal readout displays
lateral g-force while the vertical readout
displays a timeline of the past 20 seconds of
driving. G-force exerted on the vehicle when
turning left is displayed on the right side of
the screen. G-force exerted on the vehicle
when turning right is displayed on the left
side of the screen. The g-force timeline will
begin to scroll down automatically after a
short period of time.
*2Red zone display:
The color of the graph will change when the
level of g-force exerted on the vehicle while
decelerating exceeds a preset level.
*3G-meter:
Displays the g-force currently being exerted
on the vehicle due to deceleration.
*4SPEED:
Displays the current driving speed.
*5STEERING:
Displays the angle of the steering wheel.
INFO:
. The extent to which the steering of the
vehicle is displayed on the meter may vary
depending on the vehicle speed.
. Due to the slope of a road, this meter may
register g-force even when the vehicle is
stopped. This is not a malfunction
. When the VDC or the ABS is activated, a
mark will appear on the far left side of the
panel (large panel only) .
. The scale of the readout is adjusted auto-
matically to accommodate readings that
exceed the upper limit of the meter.

*2Timer-on indicator:
The timer-on indicator will flash when the
stopwatch function is active.
*3SPEED:
Displays the vehicle speed while driving.
*4ELAPSED TIME:
Displays the total elapsed time measured
since the stopwatch function was started.
Using stopwatch function
Use
steering wheel to operate the stopwatch func-
tion.
1. With the STOP WATCH screen displayed, push
cator will flash when the stopwatch function is active.
2. Each time you push
time will be recorded into the system and will
become viewable in the list.
3. Push
function will stop timing.
INFO:
. The STOP WATCH function can be used
only when the engine is running.
. The STOP WATCH function can only be
used when the clock is activated.
. If the ignition switch is placed in the ACC or
OFF position while using the timer, timing will
end.
. The timer will continue timing while you
display other screens until you push
. The maximum time that the system timer can
display is a recorded time of up to 9 hours 59
minutes and 59.99 seconds.
. When timing has finished, the upper timer
will reset to 00:00.0.
. When the recorded time and the finished
recording time are displayed, they tempora-
rily interrupt the time recorder display and are
displayed in large numbers. The recorded
time will disappear automatically after several
seconds.
. When screens other than the multi function
meter are displayed, the STOP WATCH
screen will not interrupt the display.
