In the following situations, the correct 
outside temperature may not be dis-
played, or the display may take longer 
than normal to change:
• When stopped, or driving at low speeds 
(less than 12 mph [20 km/h])
• When the outside temperature has 
changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit of 
a garage, tunnel, etc.)●

Display items
 Odometer Displays the total distance the vehicle has 
been driven.
 Trip meter A/trip meter B Displays the distance the vehicle has been 
driven since the meter was last reset. Trip 
meters A and B can be used to record and 
display different distances independently.
 Distance until next engine oil 
change Displays the distance the vehicle can be 
driven until an oil change is necessary. ■
Changing the display
Each time the “ODO TRIP” switch is 
pressed, the displayed item will be 
changed. When the trip meter is dis-
played, pressing and holding the switch 
will reset the trip meter.WARNING■
The information display at low tem-
peratures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm 
up before using the liquid crystal infor-
mation display. At  extremely low tem-
peratures, the in formation display 
monitor may respond slowly, and display 
changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the 
driver’s shifting and the new gear number 
appearing on the display. This lag could 
cause the driver to downshift again, 
causing rapid and excessive engine brak-
ing and possibly an accident resulting in 
death or injury.
NOTICE
■
To prevent damage to the engine and 
its components
●
Do not let the indicator needle of the 
tachometer enter the red zone, which 
indicates the maximum engine speed. ●
The engine may be overheating if the 
engine coolant temperature gauge is 
in the red zone (H).  In this case, imme-
diately stop the vehicle in a safe place, 
and check the engine after it has 
cooled completely. (  P.440)
