value of instantaneous fuel consumption
from previous driving when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position or the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode is “ON”.
The display shows the value only when the
vehicle is moving.
NOTE:
• The display does not show the value
unless the vehicle is moving.
• Depending on the vehicle’s specification,
the initial setting for the fuel consumption
unit is indicated as L/100km, km/L or
MPG.
• For “L/100km” or “km/L” setting, the indi-
cated maximum value of instantaneous
fuel consumption is 30. No more than 30
will be indicated on the display even if
the actual instantaneous fuel consump-
tion is higher.
• For “MPG” setting, the indicated maxi-
mum value of instantaneous fuel con-
sumption is 99.9. No more than 99.9 will
be indicated on the display even if the
actual instantaneous fuel consumption is
higher.
• 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.
• For “L/100km” or “km/L” setting, you can
change the units that instantaneous fuel
consumption is displayed in. Refer to“Average fuel consumption” in this sec-
tion.
NOTE:
When you reconnect the negative (–) ter-
minal to the battery, the indication of the
instantaneous fuel consumption will be
reinitialized. Change the indication again
to your preference.
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 the “ON”
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode is “ON”. Unless
you reset the value of average fuel con-
sumption, the display indicates the value of
average fuel consumption which includes
average fuel consumption during previous
driving.
To reset the average fuel consumption to
zero, push and hold the indicator selector
knob (2) for a while when the display
shows the average fuel consumption.NOTE:
When you reset the indication or reconnect
the negative (–) terminal to the battery, the
value of average fuel consumption will be
shown after driving for a while.
For “L/100 KM” or “KM/L” setting
To change the unit of average fuel con-
sumption, while pushing and holding the
trip meter selector knob (1), turn the indi-
cator selector knob (2).

NOTE:
Depending on the vehicle’s specification,
the fuel consumption units of initial setting
are indicated as km/L or L/100km.
NOTE:
• When you change the units that average
fuel consumption is displayed in, the
instantaneous fuel consumption units will
be changed automatically.
WA R N I N G
If you attempt to adjust the display
while driving, you could lose control
of the vehicle.
Do not attempt to adjust the display
while driving.

• When you reconnect the negative (–)
terminal to the battery, the unit of the
average fuel consumption will be reini-
tialized. Change the unit again to your
preference.
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.
Clock
When the ignition switch is in the “ON”
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)
and the indicator selector knob (2)
together.
2) To change the hour indication, turn the
indicator selector knob (2) left or right
repeatedly when the hour indication
blinks. To change the hour indication
quickly, turn and hold the indicator
selector knob (2). To set the hour indi-
cation, push the indicator selector knob
(2) and the minute indication will blink.3) To change the minute indication, turn
the indicator selector knob (2) left or
right repeatedly when the minute indi-
cation blinks. To change the minute
indication quickly, turn and hold the
indicator selector knob (2). To set the
minute indication, push the indicator
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.

5) Check the headlights, turn signal lights,
brake lights and horn for proper opera-
tion.
6) Adjust the seat and adjustable head
restraint (if equipped).
7) Check the brake pedal and the parking
brake lever.
8) Adjust the mirrors.
9) Make sure that you and all passengers
have properly fastened your seat belts.
10)Make sure that all warning lights come
on as the key is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion or the engine is pressed to change
the ignition mode to “ON”.
11)Check all gauges.
12)Make sure that the BRAKE SYSTEM
WARNING light turns off when the
parking brake is released.
Once a week, or each time you fill your fuel
tank, perform the following under-hood
checks:
1) Engine oil level
2) Coolant level
3) Brake fluid level
4) Battery solution level
5) Windshield washer fluid level
6) Hood latch operation
Pull the bonnet hood release handle
inside the vehicle. Make sure that you
cannot open the hood all the way with-
out releasing the secondary latch. Be
sure to close the hood securely after
checking for proper latch operation.
See “All latches, hinges and locks” of“CHASSIS AND BODY” in the “Periodic
Maintenance Schedule” in the
“INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE”
section for lubrication schedule.
Once a month, or each time you fill your
fuel tank, check the tire pressure using a
tire pressure gauge. Also check the tire
pressure of the spare tire.
Engine Oil ConsumptionIt is normal for the engine to consume
some engine oil during normal vehicle
operation.
The amount of engine oil consumed
depends on the viscosity of the oil, the
quality of the oil and the conditions the
vehicle is driven under.
More oil is consumed during high-speed
driving and when there is frequent acceler-
ation and deceleration. Under high loads,
your engine also will consume more oil.
A new engine also consumes more oil,
since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder
walls have not yet become conditioned.
New engines reach the normal level of oilconsumption only after approximately 5000
km driving.
Oil consumption:
Max. 1.0 L per 1000 km When judging the amount of oil consump-
tion, note that the oil may become diluted
and make it difficult to accurately judge the
true oil level.
As an example, if a vehicle is used for
repeated short trips, and consumes a nor-
mal amount of oil, the dipstick may not
show any drop in the oil level at all, even
after 1000 km or more of driving. This is
because the oil is gradually becoming
diluted with fuel or moisture, making it
appear that the oil level has not changed.
You should also be aware that the diluting
ingredients evaporate out when the vehicle
is subsequently driven at high speeds,
such as on an expressway, making it
appear that oil is excessively consumed
after high-speed driving.
WA R N I N G
Make sure the hood is fully closed
and latched before driving. If it is not,
it can fly up unexpectedly during
driving, obstructing your view and
resulting in an accident.
