enon is characteristi c of liquid crys-
tal displays, and there is no problem

(  P.99, 109)
■Display items
 Odometer

cle has been driven.
 Trip meter A/trip meter B

WARNING
■The information display at
low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to
warm up before u sing the liquid

extremely low temperatures, the
information display monitor may
respond slowly, and display
changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag
between the driver’s shifting and
the new gear number appearing
on the display. This lag could
cause the driver to downshift
again, causing rapid and exces-
sive engine braking and possibly
an accident resulting in death or
injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the
engine and its components
●Do not let the i ndicator needle
of the tachomete r enter the red
zone, which indicates the maxi-
mum engine speed.
●The engine may be overheating
if the engine coolant tempera-
ture gauge is in the red zone
(H). In this case, immediately
stop the vehicle in a safe place,
and check the engine after it
has cooled completely.
