Tachometer
The tachometer indicates the approxi-
mate number of engine revolutions per
minute (rpm).
Use the tachometer to select the correct
shift points and to prevent lugging and/or
over-revving the engine.Do not operate the engine within the
tachometer's RED ZONE. This may
cause severe engine damage.
Engine coolant temperature
Gauge
This gauge indicates the temperature of
the engine coolant when the ignition
switch or Engine Start/Stop button is ON.

If the gauge pointer moves beyond the
normal range area toward the "H"
position, it indicates overheating that
may damage the engine.
Do not continue driving with an over-
heated engine. If your vehicle over-
heats, refer to "If the Engine
Overheats" in chapter 6.
Fuel gauge
This gauge indicates the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.
Information
• The fuel tank capacity is given in chap-ter 8.
• The fuel gauge is supplemented by a low fuel warning light, which will illuminate
when the fuel tank is nearly empty.
• On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel
warning light may come on earlier than
usual due to the movement of fuel in the
tank.
Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire, damaging
the catalytic converter.
NOTICE
iNOTICE
Running out of fuel can expose
vehicle occupants to danger. You
must stop and obtain additional
fuel as soon as possible after the
warning light comes on or when the
gauge indicator comes close to the
"E (Empty)" level.
WARNINGNever remove the radiator cap or
reservoir cap when the engine is
hot. The engine coolant is under
pressure and could severely burn.
Wait until the engine is cool before
adding coolant to the reservoir.

Low Pressure
This warning message is displayed if the
tire pressure is low. The corresponding
tire on the vehicle will be illuminated.
For more information, refer to "Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)"
in chapter 6.
Low Fuel
This warning message is displayed if the
fuel tank is almost out of fuel.
When this message is displayed, the
vehicle range is approximately 30 miles.
When this message is displayed, the low
fuel level warning light in the cluster will
come on.
It is recommended to look for the nearest
fueling station and refuel as soon as pos-
sible.
Engine has overheated
This warning message is displayed when
the engine coolant temperature is above
248°F (120°C). This means that the
engine is overheated and may be dam-
aged.
If your vehicle is overheated, refer to
"Overheating" in chapter 6.

Driving your vehicle
When the ECO mode is activated:
The acceleration response may beslightly reduced if the accelerator
pedal is depressed moderately.
The air conditioner performance may be limited.
The shift pattern of the automatic transmission/dual clutch transmission
may change.
The engine speed may be lower than when driving in NORMAL mode.
The above situations are normal condi-
tions when the ECO mode is activated to
improve fuel efficiency. Limitation of the ECO mode opera-
tion:
Even though ECO mode is selected and
there is no change in the ECO indicator :
When the coolant temperature is low,
ECO mode will be limited until engine
temperature is at normal operating
temperature.
When driving up a hill, ECO mode will be limited to provide better power
when driving uphill.
When driving the vehicle with the auto- matic transmission/ dual clutch trans-
mission gear shift lever in manual shift
mode, ECO mode will be limited
according to the shift position.SPORT mode
SPORT mode manages the
driving dynamics by automat-
ically adjusting the steering
effort, and the engine and
transmission control logic for enhanced
driver performance.
When SPORT mode is selected by pressing the DRIVE MODE button, the
SPORT indicator will illuminate.
Whenever the engine is restarted, the Drive Mode will revert back to NOR-
MAL mode. If SPORT mode is desired,
re-select SPORT mode from the
DRIVE MODE button.
When SPORT mode is activated: - The engine rpm will tend to remainraised over a certain length of time
even after releasing the accelerator
- Upshifts are delayed when accelerat- ing
Information
In SPORT mode, the fuel efficiency may
decrease.

Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may have
little or no contact with the road surface
and actually ride on the water. The best
advice is SLOW DOWN when the road is
wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increases as
the depth of tire tread decreases, refer
to "Tire Tread" in chapter 7.
Driving in Flooded Areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no high-
er than the bottom of the wheel hub.
Drive through any water slowly. Allow
adequate stopping distance because
brake performance may be reduced.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them several
times while the vehicle is moving slowly.
Highway Driving
Tires
Adjust the tire inflation, as specified.
Under-inflation may overheat or damage
the tires.
Do not install worn-out or damaged tires,
which may reduce traction or adversely
affect vehicle handling. This could lead to
sudden tire failure that may cause loss of
vehicle control resulting in an accident.
Information
Never over-inflate your tires above the
maximum inflation pressure, as specified
on your tires.
Fuel, engine coolant and engineoil
Driving at higher speeds on the highway
consumes more fuel and is less efficient
than driving at a slower, more moderate
speed. Maintain a moderate speed in
order to conserve fuel when driving on
the highway.
Be sure to check both the engine coolant
level and the engine oil before driving.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may over-
heat the engine.
i
In a rollover crash, an unbelted per-
son is significantly more likely to
die than a person wearing a seat
belt. Make sure all passengers are
wearing their seat belts.
