Speedometer
The speedometer indicates vehicle speed.
Tachometer
The tachometer indicates engine speed in
revolutions per minute.
Fuel gauge
61MM0A154
When the ignition switch is in “ON” position
or the ignition mode is “ON”, this gauge
gives an approximate indication of the
amount of fuel in the fuel tank. “F” stands
for full and “E” stands for empty.
If the indicator approaches a low level
(near “E”) on fuel gauge, refill the tank as
soon as possible.
NOTE:
The indicator moves a little depending on
road conditions (for example, slope or
curve) and driving conditions because of
fuel moving in the tank.
If the low fuel warning light (1) comes on,
fill the fuel tank immediately.Refer to “Low fuel warning light” in “Warn-
ing and indicator lights” in this section for
details.
The mark (2) indicates that the fuel filler
door is located on the left side of the vehi-
cle.
NOTICE
Never drive the vehicle with the
engine revving in the red zone or
severe engine damage can result.
Keep the engine speed below the red
zone even when downshifting to a
lower gear position.
Refer to “Downshifting maximum
allowable speeds” in “OPERATING
YOUR VEHICLE” section.(2)

To set the clock, follow “Setting mode”
instructions in this section.

The display (B) shows the driving mode.
For details on how to use the four-mode
4WD system, refer to “Four-mode 4WD
system (if equipped)” in “OPERATING

Thermometer
The display (C) shows the thermometer.
The thermometer indicates the outside
temperature.

If the outside temperature nears freezing,
the message shown in the above illustra-
tion will appear on the display.
NOTE:
The outside temperature indication is not
the actual outside temperature when driv-
ing at low speed, or when stopped.
Fuel consumption / Driving range /
Average speed / Oil life
(if equipped)
When there are no warning or indicator
messages on the display (D), you can
select one of the following indications to
appear on the display: instantaneous fuel
consumption, average fuel consumption,
driving range, average speed, oil life or no
indication.

NOTE:
The value of fuel consumption, driving
range and average speed shown on the
display are affected by the following condi-
tions;
• road condition
• surrounding traffic condition
• driving condition
• vehicle condition
• a malfunction which causes the malfunc-
tion indicator light to come on or blink

Instantaneous fuel consumption
The display shows instantaneous fuel con-
sumption 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 set-
ting are indicated as L/100km, km/L or
MPG.
• For L/100km or km/L setting, the indi-
cated maximum value of instantaneous
fuel consumption is 30. No more than 30
will be indicated on the display even if
the actual instantaneous fuel consump-
tion is higher.
• For MPG setting, the indicated maxi-
mum value of instantaneous fuel con-
sumption is 80. No more than 80 will be
indicated on the display even if the
actual instantaneous fuel consumption is
higher.
• 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.
Average fuel consumption
If you selected average fuel consumption
the last time you drove the vehicle, the dis-
play shows the last value of average fuel
consumption from previous driving whenthe ignition switch is turned to “ON” posi-
tion or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ON”. Unless
you reset the value of average fuel con-
sumption, the display indicates the value of
average fuel consumption based on the
average fuel consumption during previous
driving.
NOTE:
When you reconnect the negative (–) ter-
minal to the battery, the value of average
fuel consumption will be shown after driv-
ing for a period of time.
You can select when the value of average
fuel consumption is reset from among the
following three methods;
• Reset after refuel: the value of average
fuel consumption will be reset automati-
cally 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 push-
ing and holding the indicator selector
knob (2) when the display indicates the
average fuel consumption.
To change when the value of average fuel
consumption is reset, 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 to “ON” position or the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode to “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.
As the driving range after refueling is cal-
culated based on the most recent driving
condition, the value is different each time
you refuel.
NOTE:
• If you refuel when the ignition switch is in
“ON” position or the ignition mode is
“ON”, the driving range may not indicate
the correct value.
