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,
Trip meter B
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 me ter 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. When trip meter B is
selected, TRIP B will be displayed.

The trip meter and average fuel economy
can be reset by pressing 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 range of the gauge indicates that
the engine coolant temperature is low, and
the red range of the
gauge indicates that
the engine coolant temperature is high and
overheating.

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 7-20.
NOTE
(SKYACTIV-G 2.5T, SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
If the engine coolant temperature is high
or the engine is hot, the engine output
may be limited.
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 Other Equipment/Functions on
page 9-15.
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.
If inconsistency in e ngine performance or
stalling occurs due to low fuel level
conditions, refuel the vehicle as soon as
possible and add at least 10 L (2.7 US gal,
2.2 Imp gal) of fuel.
Refer to Taking Action on page 7-35.
NOTE
After refueling, it may require some time
for the indicator to st abilize. In addition,
the indicator may deviate while driving
on a slope or curve since the fuel moves
in the tank.

The direction of the arrow () indicates
that the fuel-filler lid is on the left side
of the vehicle.
▼ Dashboard Illumination
(Without auto-light control)
When the lights are turned on with the
ignition switched ON, the brightness of
the dashboard illumination is dimmed.
(With auto-light control)
When the lights are turned on with the
ignition switched ON, the brightness of
the dashboard illumination is dimmed.
However, when the light sensor detects
that the surrounding area is bright such as
when the lights are turned on in the
daytime, the dashboard illumination does
not dim.
NOTE
(With auto-light control)
When the ignition is
switched ON in the
early evening or at dusk, the dashboard
illumination is dimmed for several
seconds until the light sensor detects the
brightness of the surrounding area,
however, the dimming may cancel after
the brightness is detected.
When the lights are turned on, the
lights-on indicato r light in the
instrument cluster turns on.
Refer to Headlights on page 4-78.
The brightness of the instrument cluster
and dashboard illuminations can be
adjusted by rotating the knob.
The brightness decreases by rotating the
knob to the left. A beep sound will be
heard when the knob has been rotated to
the maximum dim position.
The brightness increases by rotating the
knob to the right.
Dim
Bright
Function for canceling illumination
dimmer
The illumination dimmer can be canceled
by rotating the dashboard illumination
knob to the right until a beep sound is
heard while the instrument cluster is
dimmed with the ignition switched ON. If
the instrument clust er's visibility is
reduced due to glare from surrounding
brightness, cancel the illumination
dimmer.
NOTE
The illumination dimmer can be
canceled by pressing the dashboard
illumination knob.
When the illumination dimmer is
canceled, the instrument cluster cannot
be dimmed even if the lights are turned
on.
When the illumination dimmer is
canceled, the screen in the center
display switches to constant display of
the daytime screen.

▼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.
Settings can be changed by operating the
center display screen.
Refer to Other Equ ipment/Functions on
page 9-15.
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.
