NOTElWhen the ignition switch or the operation mode is OFF, the driving range display, average fuel consumption display and outside temperature display are not
displayed.
l While driving, the service reminder is not displayed even if you operate the multi information display switch.

Odometer
E00527801123
The odometer indicates the distance travel-
led.
Tripmeter
E00527901094
The tripmeter indicates the distance travelled between two points.

Example usage of tripmeter
and tripmeter
It is possible to measure two currently
travelled distances, from home using
tripmeter
and from a particular point
on the way using tripmeter
.

To reset the tripmeter
To return the display to 0, hold down the multi information display switch for about 2
seconds or more. Only the currently dis-
played value will be reset.

Example
If tripmeter is displayed, only tripmeter
will be reset.NOTEl When disconnecting the battery terminal, the
memory of tripmeter and are
cleared, and the display returns to “0”.Meter illumination control
E00537901068
Each time you press and hold the multi infor-
mation display switch (2) for about 2 seconds or more, there is a sound and the brightnessof the instruments changes.

2- Multi information display switch
Multi-information display
5-04OKTE18E1Instruments and controls5

NOTElYou can adjust to 8 different levels respec-
tively for when the position lamps are illu- minated and when they are not.
Each time you reduce two brightness levels, the segment display of the brightness level decreases one by one.
l If the vehicle is equipped with the automatic
lamp control, when the lamp switch is in a position other than the “OFF” position, the
meter illumination switches automatically to
the adjusted brightness, depending on the
brightness outside the vehicle.
l The brightness level of the instruments is
stored when the ignition switch is turned off or the operation mode is put in OFF.Driving range display
E00538000014
This displays the approximate driving range
(how many more kilometres or miles you can drive). When the driving range falls below
approximately 50 km (30 miles), “---” is dis-
played.
NOTEl The driving range is determined based on
the fuel consumption data. This may vary depending on the driving conditions and habits. Treat the distance displayed as just a
rough guideline.NOTEl When you refuel, the driving range display
is updated.
However, if you only add a small amount of fuel, the correct value will not be displayed.
Fill with a full tank whenever possible.
l On rare occasions, the value displayed for
the driving range may change if you areparked on an extremely steep incline. This is
due to the movement of fuel in the tank and
does not indicate a malfunction.
l The display setting can be changed to the
preferred units (km or miles).
Refer to “Changing the function settings” on page 5-09.Average fuel consumption dis-
play
E00531200033
This displays the average fuel consumption from the last reset to the present time.
The reset mode conditions for the average fuel consumption display can be switched be-
tween “Auto reset” and “Manual reset”.
For information on how to change the aver-
age fuel consumption display setting, refer to “Changing the function settings” on page 5-09.
NOTEl The average fuel consumption display can
be reset separately for the auto reset mode and for the manual reset mode.
l “---” is displayed when the average fuel con-
sumption cannot be measured.
l The initial (default) setting is “Auto reset
mode”.
l The average fuel consumption depends on
the driving condition (road condition, driv- ing behavior, etc.). The displayed fuel con- sumption may vary from the actual fuel con-
sumption. Treat the fuel consumption dis- played as just a rough guideline.
l The memory of the auto reset mode or man-
ual reset mode for the average fuel con-sumption display is erased if the battery isdisconnected.
l The display setting can be changed to the
preferred units {km/L, L/100 km, mpg}.
Refer to “Changing the function settings” on page 5-09.Auto Stop & Go monitor*

E00522902100
The mode conditions for the average fuel consumption display can be switched be- tween “Auto reset” and “Manual reset”.
1. When you lightly press the multi infor-
mation display switch a few times, the information display switches to the driv-
ing range display.
Refer to “Information display” on page
5-03.
2. Each time you press the multi informa-

more on driving range display, you can
switch reset mode for average fuel con- sumption. (A: Auto reset mode, B: Man-ual reset mode)
Manual reset mode
l When the average fuel consumption is
being displayed, if you hold down the multi-information meter switch, the
average fuel consumption displayed at that time is reset.
l When the following operation is per-
formed, the mode setting is automatical-
ly switched from manual to auto.
[Except for vehicles equipped with key- less operation system]
Turn the ignition switch from the
“ACC” or “LOCK” position to the “ON” position.
[For vehicles equipped with keyless op- eration system]

or OFF to ON.

Switching to auto occurs automatically. If switching to manual mode is done,
however, the data from the last reset is
displayed.

Economical drivingE00600102608
For economical driving, there are some tech- nical requirements that have to be met. Theprerequisite for low fuel consumption is a
properly adjusted engine. In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle and the most eco- nomical operation, we recommend you tohave the vehicle checked at regular intervals in accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas
and noise are highly influenced by personal
driving habits as well as the particular operat- ing conditions. The following points shouldbe observed in order to minimize wear of
brakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduce
environmental pollution.
Accelerating and decelerating
Drive according to the traffic conditions andavoid sudden starts, sudden acceleration and
sudden braking, as they will increase fuel
consumption.
Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and engine speed. Always use the highest shift position
possible.
The transfer shift lever or the drive mode-se-
lector should be set to “2H” when driving 4WD vehicles on normal roads and express
ways to obtain best possible fuel economy.
City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping increases the
average fuel consumption. Use roads with smooth traffic flow whenever possible. When driving on congested roads, avoid use of a
low shift position at high engine speeds.
Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even during idling. Avoid extended idling whenever pos-
sible.
Speed
At higher vehicle speed, more fuel is con-
sumed. Avoid driving at full speed. Even a slight release of the accelerator pedal willsave a significant amount of fuel.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regular intervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increa-ses road resistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre pressures adversely affect
tyre wear and driving stability.
Cargo loads
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the
luggage compartment. Especially during city
driving where frequent starting and stopping is necessary, the increased weight of the ve-
hicle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Al- so avoid driving with unnecessary luggage or carriers, etc., on the roof; the increased air re- sistance will increase fuel consumption.
Cold engine starting
Starting of a cold engine consumes more fuel. Unnecessary fuel consumption is alsocaused by keeping a hot engine running. Af-
ter the engine is started, commence driving as soon as possible.
Cooler or air conditioning
The use of the air conditioner will increase the fuel consumption.
Driving, alcohol and drugs
E00600200070
Driving after drinking alcohol is one of the
most frequent causes of accidents.
