BEFORE DRIVING
Instantaneous fuel consumption The display shows instantaneous fuel con­sumption with a bar graph only when the vehicle is moving.
NOTE: The display does not show the bar graph unless the vehicle is moving. Depending on the vehicle's specification, the fuel consumption units of initial set­ting are indicated as U100km, km/L or MPG (UK). The indicated maximum value of instan­taneous fuel consumption is one of the followings. No more than the maximum value will be indicated on the display even if the actual instantaneous fuel consumption is higher. -For U100km setting: 30 -For km/L setting: 50 -For MPG (UK) setting: 80 The indication on the display may be delayed if fuel consumption is greatly affected by driving conditions. The display shows estimated values. Indications may not be the same as actual values.
2-31
Average fuel consumption If you previously selected average fuel consumption setting, the display shows average fuel consumption from the last reset to the present when the ignition switch is turned "ON".
NOTE: When you reconnect the terminals to the lead-acid battery, the value of average fuel consumption will be shown after driving for a period of time.
You can select the timing to reset the value of average fuel consumption by one of the following three methods; Reset after refuel: the value of average fuel consumption will be reset automati­cally by refueling. Reset with trip meter A: the value of average fuel consumption will be reset automatically by resetting trip meter A. Reset manually: the value of average fuel consumption will be reset by push­ing and holding the indicator selector knob (3) when the display indicates the average fuel consumption.
To change the timing to reset the value of average fuel consumption, refer to "Setting mode" in this section.
NOTE: If you add only a small amount of fuel when you select "Reset after refuel", the average fuel consumption value may not be reset.
Driving range If you selected driving range the last time you drove the vehicle, the display indicates "---" for a few seconds and then indicates the current driving range when the ignition switch is turned "ON".
The driving range shown in the display is the approximate distance you can drive until the fuel gauge indicates "E", based on current driving conditions.
When the low fuel warning light comes on, the display "---" will appear.
If the low fuel warning light comes on, fill the fuel tank immediately regardless of the value of driving range shown in the display.
When you refuel, the driving range is updated. However, if you only add a small amount of fuel, the correct value will not be displayed.

NOTE: If you refuel when the ignition switch is "ON", the driving range may not indicate the correct value. When you reconnect the terminals to the lead-acid battery, the value of driving range will be shown after driving for a period of time.
Average speed If you selected average speed the last time you drove the vehicle, the display indicates the last value of average speed from previ­ous driving when the ignition switch is turned "ON". Unless you reset the value of average speed, the display indicates the value of average speed which includes average speed during previous driving.
To reset the value of average speed, push and hold the indicator selector knob (3) for a while when the display indicates an aver­age speed. The display shows "---" and then indicates a new average speed after driving for a short time.
NOTE: When you reconnect the terminals to the lead-acid battery, the value of average speed will be shown after driving for a period of time.
Driving time The display shows the total amount of driv­ing time since the indication was reset. To reset the driving time, push and hold the indicator selector knob (3) for a while when the display shows the driving time.
NOTE: When you reset the indication or recon­nect the terminals to the lead-acid bat­tery, the driving time will be shown after driving for a while. The indicated maximum value of driving time is 99:59:59. No more than the maxi­mum value will be indicated on the dis­play until you reset the driving time.
Gearshift indicator
The display (D) shows the gearshift indica­tor.
Refer to "Gearshift indicator" in "OPERAT­ING YOUR VEHICLE" section.
