▼Odometer, Trip Meter and Trip
Meter Selector
The odometer is constantly displayed on
the screen when the
ignition is switched
ON, and the TRIP A or TRIP B screen can
be displayed by operating the INFO
switch.

Press the INFO switch INFO switch

Odometer
Odometer
The odometer records the total distance
the vehicle has been driven.
Trip meter
The driving distance for a specified
interval is indicated. Two types (TRIP A,
TRIP B) of interval distance and the
average fuel economy for each can be
measured.

For instance, trip meter A can record the
distance from the point of origin, and trip
meter B can record the distance from
where the fuel tank is filled.

When trip meter A is
selected, TRIP A
will be displayed. Wh en trip meter B is
selected, TRIP B will be displayed.

The trip meter and average fuel economy
can be reset by pressi ng the INFO switch
for 1.5 seconds or more while in each
mode.
NOTE
Only the trip meters record tenths of
kilometers (miles).
The trip record will be erased when:
The power supply is interrupted
(blown fuse or the battery is
disconnected).
The vehicle is driven over 9999.9 km
(mile).

▼Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
Displays the engine coolant temperature.
The blue gauge indicates that the engine
coolant temperature is low, and the red
gauge indicates that the engine coolant
temperature is high and overheating.
The engine coolant temperature gauge can
be switched to indicate only the high
engine coolant temperature range by
pressing the panel light control switch.
CAUTION
If the high engine coolant temperature
warning light (red) flashes, there is a
possibility of overheating. Drive slowly to
reduce engine load until you can
find a safe
place to stop the vehicle and wait for the
engine to cool down.
Refer to Overheating on page 7-27.
NOTE
The temperature unit (Centigrade/
Fahrenheit) of the engine coolant gauge
display changes in conjunction with the
temperature unit of the outside
temperature display.
Refer to Personalization Features on
page 9-9.
During normal driving, the engine
coolant temperature stabilizes at 100 °C
(210 °F) or less, and the gauge indicates
a range lower than 100 °C (210 °F).
▼ Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge shows approximately how
much fuel is remaining in the tank when
the ignition is switched ON. We
recommend keeping the tank over 1/4 full.

Full
1/4 Full
Empty
If the fuel level is low, () and () turn an
amber color. Refuel as soon as possible.
Refer to Taking Action on page 7-40.
NOTE
After refueling, it may require some time
for the indicator to stabilize. In addition,
the indicator may deviate while driving
on a slope or curve since the fuel moves
in the tank.
The display indicating a quarter or less
remaining fuel has more segments to
show the remaining fuel level in greater
detail.
The direction of the arrow () indicates
that the fuel-filler lid is on the left side
of the vehicle.

▼Outside Temperature Display
When the ignition is switched ON, the
outside temperature is displayed.

NOTE
Under the following conditions, the
outside temperature display may differ
from the actual outside temperature
depending on the surroundings and
vehicle conditions:
Significantly cold or hot temperatures.
Sudden changes in outside
temperature.
The vehicle is parked.
The vehicle is driven at low speeds.
Changing the Temperature Unit of the
Outside Temperature Display
The outside temperature unit can be
switched between Celsius and Fahrenheit
using the following procedure.
Settings can be changed by operating the
center display screen.
Refer to Personalizat ion Features on page
9-9.
NOTE
When the temperature unit indicated in the
outside temperature display is changed,
the temperature unit indicated in the
engine coolant gauge display changes in
conjunction with it.
▼ Distance-to-empty
This displays the approximate distance
you can travel on the remaining fuel based
on the fuel economy.
The distance-to-empty will be calculated
and displayed every second.

NOTE
Even though the distance-to-empty
display may indicate a sufficient amount
of remaining driving distance before
refueling is required, refuel as soon as
possible if the fuel level is very low or
the low fuel warning light illuminates.
The display will not change unless you
add more than approximately 9 L (2.3
US gal, 1.9 Imp gal) of fuel.
The distance-to-empty is the
approximate remaining distance the
vehicle can be driven until all the
graduation marks in the fuel gauge
indicating the remaining fuel supply
disappear.
If there is no past fuel economy
information such as after first
purchasing your vehicle or the
information is deleted when the battery
cables are disconnected, the actual
distance-to empty/range may differ from
the amount indicated.

▼Average Fuel Economy
The average fuel economy is calculated
every minute from the total traveled
distance on the trip me
ter and the total fuel
consumption, and the average fuel
economy for either TRIP A or TRIP B is
displayed.

The average fuel economy and trip meters
can be reset by pressing the INFO switch
for 1.5 seconds or more while in each
mode. After the data is cleared, the fuel
consumption is recalcu lated and the - - -
L/100 km (- - - mpg) for the 1 minute prior
to it being displayed is indicated.
▼ Current Fuel Economy
This displays the curr
ent fuel economy by
calculating the amount of fuel
consumption and the distance traveled.
Current fuel economy will be calculated
and displayed every two seconds.

When you've slowed to about 5 km/h (3
mph), - - - L/100 km (- - - mpg) will be
displayed.
▼ Maintenance Monitor
The following maintenance period
notifications can be displayed by turning
the Maintenance Monitor on.
Scheduled Maintenance
Tire Rotation
Oil Change
For the setting method and indications for
the maintenance monitor, refer to the

The maintenance monitor displays the
information when the ignition is switched
ON.
NOTE
This function is inoperable while the
vehicle is being driven.
Message display
When the remaining days to the
maintenance period is 15 days or less, or
the remaining distance is 1,000 km (600
miles) or shorter, a message is indicated
when the ignition is switched ON.
NOTE
If any of the INFO switch is pressed
while a message is displayed, it will no
longer be displayed the next time the
ignition is switched ON.

message for the next maintenance
period will be displayed when the
remaining distance or time to the next
maintenance period approaches 0
(displays when engine is started).
