
F-TRIP: fuel reserve tripmeter

TRIP1: tripmeter

TRIP2: tripmeter

F.AVE: average fuel economy

F.CRNT: instantaneous fuel econ-
omy

A.TEMP: air temperature

C.TEMP: coolant temperature

Fuel meter

FUEL CON: amount of fuel con-
sumed

TRIP TIME: running time
Operate the vehicle information display
as follows:
Rotate the wheel switch to move the
cursor over a display.
Press the wheel switch inward and the
selected display will highlight grey.
Rotate the wheel switch to choose a dif-

FUEL CON and TRIP TIME itemscan be individually reset. Odometer:
The odometer shows the total distance
traveled by the vehicle.TIPODO will lock at 999999 and cannot bereset.
Fuel reserve tripmeter:When the fuel tank reserve level has
been reached, F-TRIP appears auto-
matically and begins recording dis-
tance traveled from that point.
After refueling and traveling some dis-
tance, F-TRIP will automatically disap-
pear.

TIPTRIP1 and TRIP2 will reset to 0 and be-
gin counting again after 9999.9 hasbeen reached.
Average fuel economy:The average fuel economy display can
be set to “km/L” or “L/100km”. See
page 4-18.TIPAfter resetting the average fuel econo-
my display, “--.-” will be shown until thevehicle has traveled 1 km.
Instantaneous fuel economy:The instant fuel economy display can
be set to “km/L” or “L/100km”. See page 4-18.
TIP
If traveling at speeds under 10
km/h, “--.-” will be displayed.

The instantaneous fuel economy
function should be used for gener-
al reference only. Do not use this
figure to estimate the distance that
can be traveled on the current tankof fuel.
Air temperature:
The air temperature is displayed from
–9 C (16 F) to 50 C (122 F) in 1 C
(1 F) increments. The temperature dis-
played may vary from the actual ambi-
ent temperature.TIP
“--” will be displayed if the detected
temperature is lower.

“--” will be displayed if the detectedtemperature is higher. Coolant temperature:
The coolant temperature is displayed
from 40 
C (104 F) to 124 C (255 F)

If the vehicle coolant temperature
is above 124 C (255  F) the cool-
ant temperature display will read“Hi”
Fuel Meter:
The fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear from
“F” (full) towards “E” (empty) as the fuel
