the end of the procedure as follows.
NOTE:
• You cannot disable the theft deterrent
alarm system while it is in the armed
condition.
• If you fail to complete the operations in
Step 2) and 3) within 15 seconds, per-
form the procedure again from the
beginning.
• Check that all doors are closed when performing the above procedure.
NOTE:
You can also switch the theft deterrent
alarm system from the enabled state to the
disabled state, and vice versa, via the
information display setting mode. For

Theft deterrent light (if equipped)
75RM314
This light will blink with the ignition switch
in “LOCK” or “ACC” pos ition, or the ignition
mode LOCK (OFF) or ACC. The blinking
light is intended to deter theft by leading
others to believe that the vehicle is
equipped with a security system.

When the ignition switch is in “ON” position
or the ignition mode is ON, this gauge
gives an approximate indication of the
amount of fuel in the fuel tank. “F” stands
for full and “E” stands for empty.
• If the indicator shows only one segmentto “E”, refill the tank as soon as possible.
If the last segment blinks, it means that
the fuel is almost empty.
If the low fuel warning light (1) comes on,
fill the fuel tank immediately.
Refer to “Low fuel warning light” in “Warn-
ing and indicator lights” in this section for
details.
The mark (2) indicates that the fuel filler
door is located on the left side of the vehi-
cle.
Brightness controlWhen the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to ON, the instru-
ment cluster lights or pointer lights come
on.
Your vehicle has a system to automatically
dim the brightness of the instrument clus-
ter lights when the position lights or head-
lights are on.
You can change the brightness of the
instrument cluster lights;
• For the instrument c luster with tachome-
ter, regardless of whether the position
lights or headlights are off or on.
• For the instrum ent cluster without
tachometer, when the position lights and/
or headlights are ON.
To switch the display indication to the
brightness control, re fer to “Information
display” in this section.

NOTE:
The value of fuel consumption, driving
range, average speed and total idling fuel
saved shown on the display are affected
by the following conditions;
• road condition
• surrounding traffic condition
• driving condition
• vehicle condition
• a malfunction which causes the malfunc- tion indicator light to come on or blink Instantaneous fuel consumption
The display shows instantaneous fuel con-
sumption with a bar graph only when the
vehicle is moving.
NOTE:
• The display does not show the bar graph
unless the vehicle is moving.
• Depending on the vehicle’s specification,
the fuel consumption units of initial set-
ting are indicated as L/100km, km/L,
MPG (UK) or MPG (US).
• The indicated maximum value of instan- taneous fuel consumption is one of the
followings. No more than the maximum
value will be indicated on the display
even if the actual instantaneous fuel
consumption is higher.
– For L/100km setting: 30
– For km/L setting: 50
– For MPG (UK) setting: 80
– For MPG (US) setting: 60
• The indication on the display may be
delayed if fuel consumption is greatly
affected by driving conditions.
• The display shows estimated values.
Indications may not be the same as
actual values. Average fuel consumption
If you selected average fuel consumption
the last time you drove
the vehicle, the dis-
play shows the last value of average fuel
consumption from previous driving when
the ignition switch is turned to “ON” posi-
tion or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to ON. Unless
you reset the value of average fuel con-
sumption, the display indicates the value of
average fuel consumption based on the
average fuel consumption during previous
driving.
NOTE:
When you reconnect the negative (–) ter-
minal to the lead-acid battery, the value of
average fuel consumption will be shown
after driving for a period of time.
You can select when the value of average
fuel consumption is reset from among the
following three methods;
• Reset after refuel: the value of average fuel consumption will be reset automati-
cally by refueling.
• Reset with trip meter A: the value of average fuel consumption will be reset
automatically by resetting trip meter A.
• Reset manually: the value of average fuel consumption will be reset by push-
ing and holding the information switch
(2) when the display indicates the aver-
age fuel consumption.
