■There is a malfunction in the system
*1: The system judges a person of adult size as an adult. When a smaller adult sits in the
front passenger seat, the system may not re cognize him/her as an adult depending on
his/her physique and posture.
*2: In the event the front passenger is wearing a seat belt.
*3: In the event the front passenger does not wear a seat belt.
*4: For some children, child in se at, child in booster seat or child in convertible seat, the sys-
tem may not recognize him/her as a child. F actors which may affect this can be the phy-
sique or posture.
*5: Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat. A for-
ward-facing child restraint syst em should only be installed on the front passenger seat
when it is unavoidable. ( P.40)
*6: In case the indicator light is not illuminated, consult this manual on how to install the child
restraint system properly. ( P.41)

■Display items
Odometer
Displays the total distance the vehicle has
been driven.
Trip meter A/trip meter B
Displays the distance the vehicle has been
driven since the meter was last reset. Trip
meters A and B can be used to record and
display different distances independently.
Distance until next engine oil change
Displays the distance the vehicle can be
driven until an oil change is necessary.
■Changing the display
Each time the “ODO TRIP” switch is
pressed, the displayed item will be
changed. When the trip meter is dis-
played, pressing and holding the switch
will reset the trip meter.
■Pop-up display
In some situations the following will be
temporarily displayed:
Distance until next engine oil
change
Distance until the next engine oil change
will displayed when a warning message
indicating that oil maintenance should be
performed soon or is required is displayed.
The brightness of the instrument panel
lights can be adjusted.
WARNING
■The information display at low tem-
peratures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm
up before using the liquid crystal infor-
mation display. At extremely low tem-
peratures, 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 excessive engine brak-
ing and possibly an accident resulting in
death or injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and
its components
●Do not let the indicator needle of the
tachometer enter the red zone, which
indicates the maxi mum engine speed.
●The engine may be overheating if the
engine coolant temperature gauge is
in the red zone (H). In this case, imme-
diately stop the vehicle in a safe place,
and check the engine after it has
cooled completely. ( P.320)
