Fuel Information (Base Cluster) or
Fuel Range/Instantaneous Fuel
Economy (Uplevel Cluster) : Fuel
Range displays the approximate
distance the vehicle can be driven
without refueling. LOW will be
displayed when the vehicle is low

Instantaneous Fuel Economy
displays the current fuel economy in
either liters per 100 kilometers (L/
100 km) or miles per gallon (mpg).
This number reflects only the
approximate fuel economy that the vehicle has right now and changes
frequently as driving conditions
change.
This display may also show the
number of cylinders the vehicle is
running on. See
Active Fuel
Management 0181.
Fuel Economy Last XXX : Displays
the average fuel economy over a
set number of kilometers or miles.
Average Speed : Displays the
average speed of the vehicle in
kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles
per hour (mph). This average is
calculated based on the various
vehicle speeds recorded since the

pto
access the menu while this display
is active.
Oil Life : Displays an estimate of
the oil's remaining useful life.
If REMAINING OIL LIFE 99% is
displayed, that means 99% of the
current oil life remains.
When the remaining oil life is low,
the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message will appear on the display.
The oil should be changed as soon
as possible. See Engine Oil0229.
In addition to the engine oil life
system monitoring the oil life,
additional maintenance is
recommended. See Maintenance

Change the fluid and filter at the
intervals listed inMaintenance
Schedule 0306, and be sure to use
the fluid listed in Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants 0315.
Manual Transmission
Fluid
It is not necessary to check the
manual transmission fluid level.
A transmission fluid leak is the only
reason for fluid loss. If a leak
occurs, take the vehicle to your
dealer and have it repaired as soon
as possible. See Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants 0315 for the
proper fluid to use.
Hydraulic Clutch
For vehicles with a manual
transmission, it is not necessary to
regularly check brake/clutch fluid
unless there is a leak suspected.
Adding fluid will not correct a leak.
A fluid loss in this system could
indicate a problem. Have the
system inspected and repaired.
When to Check and What
to Use
The brake/hydraulic clutch fluid
reservoir cap has this symbol on it.
See Engine Compartment Overview
0 224 for reservoir location. The
common hydraulic clutch and brake
master cylinder fluid reservoir is
filled with brake fluid as indicated on
the reservoir cap. See Brake Fluid
0 244 for brake fluid to use.
How to Check and Add Fluid
Visually check the brake/clutch fluid
reservoir to make sure the fluid level
is at the MIN (minimum) line on the
side of the reservoir. The brake/
hydraulic clutch fluid system should
be closed and sealed. Do not remove the cap to check the
fluid level or to top-off the fluid level.
Remove the cap only when
necessary to add the proper fluid
until the level reaches the MIN line.

rotated front to rear.
Use this rotation pattern when
rotating tires of the same size
installed on all four wheel
positions.
If the vehicle has a compact
spare tire, do not include it in the
tire rotation.Adjust the front and rear tires to
the recommended inflation
pressure on the Tire and
Loading Information label after
the tires have been rotated. See
Tire Pressure
0267 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0170.
Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor
System. See Tire Pressure
Monitor Operation 0270.
Check that all wheel nuts are
properly tightened. See “Wheel

the wheel attaches to the
vehicle. In an emergency, a
cloth or a paper towel can be
used; however, use a scraper
or wire brush later to remove
all rust or dirt.
Lightly coat the inner diameter of
the wheel hub opening with
wheel bearing grease after a
wheel change or tire rotation to
prevent corrosion or rust
build-up. Do not get grease on
the wheel mounting surface or
on the wheel nuts or bolts.
