NOTE:
Following operations of the steering wheel
while parking or driving at a very low-
speed may have steering effort bigger
gradually. This is not a malfunction of the
steering system, but the power steering
control system limits the power assist in
order to prevent them from overheating.

Temperature Gauge
74LHT0221
When the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position or the ignition mode is "ON", this
gauge indicates the engine coolant tem-perature. Under normal driving conditions,
the indicator should stay within the normal,
acceptable temperature range between “H”
and “C”. If the indicator approaches “H”,
overheating is indicated. Follow the

Driving range
If you selected driving range the last time
you drove the vehicle, the display indicates
“---” for a few seconds and then indicates
the current driving range when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position or the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode is “ON”.
The driving range shown in the display is
the approximate distance you can drive
until the fuel gauge indicates “E”, based on
current driving conditions.
When the low fuel warning light comes on,
the display “---” will appear.
If the low fuel warning light comes on, fill
the fuel tank immediately regardless of the
value of driving range shown in the display.
As the driving range after refueling is cal-
culated based on the most recent driving
condition, the value is different each time
you refuel.
NOTE:
• If you refuel when the ignition switch is in
the “ON” position or the ignition mode is
"ON", the driving range may not indicate
the correct value.
• When you reconnect the negative (–)
terminal to the battery, the value of driv-ing range will be shown after driving for a
while.
Odometer
When the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position or the ignition mode is "ON", the
display (C) shows the odometer.
The odometer records the total distance
the vehicle has been driven.

position or the ignition mode is "ON", the
display (D) shows the time.
To change the time indication:
1) Push the trip meter selector knob (1)

selector knob (2).
NOTE:
When you reconnect the negative (–) ter-
minal to the battery, the clock indication will
be reinitialized. Change the indication
again to your preference.
NOTICE
Keep track of your odometer reading
and check the maintenance sched-
ule regularly for required services.
Increased wear or damage to certain
parts can result from failure to per-
form required services at the proper
mileage intervals.
