Hazard Warning Flasher
127
Instruments and Controls3
– CONTINUED –
3-2. Hazard Warning FlasherThe hazard warning flasher is used to
warn other drivers when you have to park
your vehicle under emergency conditions.
The hazard warning fl asher works with the
ignition switch in any position.
To turn on the hazard warning flasher,
press the hazard warning button on the
instrument panel. All the turn signal lights
and the turn signal indicator lights will
flash. To turn off the flasher, press the
button again.NOTEWhen the hazard warning flasher is on,
the turn signals do not work.
3-3. Meters and GaugesNOTELiquid crystal displays are used in
some of the meters and gauges in the
combination meter. You will find their
indications hard to see if you wear
polarized glasses.■ SpeedometerThe speedometer shows the vehicle
speed.
■ TachometerThe tachometer shows the engine speed
in thousands of revolutions per minute.NOTEThe initial movement of the bar display
that occurs when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position can be
activated or deactivated.
For details, refer to "General settings"
 P161.
901197
CAUTION
 Do not operate the engine with
the pointer of the tachometer in
the red zone. In this range, fuel
injection will be cut by the engine
control module to protect the
engine from overrevving. The
engine will resume running
normally after the engine speed is
reduced below the red zone. Pay extra attention to the engine
speed when the engine is cold, as
the red zone will be lower than
normal.

Meters and Gauges
128■Odometer and Double Trip
Meter1) TRIP RESET switch
2) Odometer
3) Trip meterThis meter displays the odometer/trip
meter when the ignition switch is in the
“ON” position.
The display can be switched as shown in
the following sequence by pressing the
TRIP RESET switch. To reset the trip meter, select either the A

trip or B trip meter, then press and hold the
TRIP RESET switch.
▼ Odometer
The odometer shows the total distance
that the vehicle has been driven.
NOTEIf you press the TRIP RESET switch
when the ignition switch is in the
“OFF” or “ACC” po sition, the odome-
ter/trip meter will light up. The indica-
tors will turn off when the TRIP RESET
switch is not operated for approxi-
mately 10 seconds. ▼
Double trip meter
The trip meter shows the distance that the
vehicle has been driven since you last set
it to zero.NOTE If the connection between the
combination meter and battery is
broken for any reason such as vehicle
maintenance or fuse replacement, the
data recorded on the trip meter will be
lost.
 If you press the TRIP RESET switch
when the ignition switch is in the
“OFF” or “ACC” position, the odom-
eter/trip meter will light up. It is
possible to switch between the A trip
meter and B trip meter indications
while the odometer/trip meter is lit up.

Meters and Gauges

Instruments and Controls3
– CONTINUED –
■Fuel GaugeThe fuel gauge shows the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
When the ignition switch is in the “OFF” or
“ACC” position, the fuel gauge shows “E”
even if the fuel tank contains fuel.
The gauge may move slightly due to fuel
level movement in the tank (e.g., during
braking, turning or acceleration).NOTEYou will see the “ ” sign in the fuel
gauge. This indicates that the fuel filler
lid is located on the right side of the
vehicle.
■ Engine Coolant Temperature
GaugeThe temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position.
The coolant temperature will vary in
accordance with the outside temperature
and driving conditions.
We recommend that you drive moderately
until the pointer of the temperature gauge
reaches near the middle of the range.
Engine operation is optimum with the
engine coolant at this temperature range
and high revving operation when the
engine is not warmed up enough should
be avoided.
■ Outside TemperatureDisplays the outside temperature within
the range of -40°F (-40°C) to 122°F
(50°C). Low outside temperature indicator
comes on when the ambient temperature
is 37°F (3°C) or lower.NOTEThe outside temperature indicator
shows the temperature around the
sensor. However, the temperature may
not be indicated correctly or the
update may be delayed in the follow-
ing conditions.
 While parking or driving at low
speeds
 When the outside temperature
changes suddenly (example: when
going in and out of an underground
parking area or when passing through
a tunnel)
 When starting the engine after being
parked for a certain period of time

CAUTION
If the pointer exceeds the normal
operating range, safely stop the
vehicle as soon as possible.Refer to "Engine Overheating"
 P319.

REV indicator light and buzzer
130■Combination Meter SettingsSome meter settings can be set on the
center information display. For details,
perform the procedures described in
"General settings" P161.
3-4. REV indica tor light and buzzerThe REV alarm system has the following
functions.
 When the engine speed reaches a set
speed, the select lever/gear position indi-
cator will illuminate in orange and a
buzzer will sound.
 If the engine speed enters the red
zone, the select lever/gear position indi-
cator will illuminate in red.
The factory setting (default setting) for this
function is set as “OFF”.
To change the REV indicator light and
buzzer settings, perform the procedures
described in "Settings Display" P157
3-5. Illumination Brightness ControlThe illumination brightness of the combi-
nation meter and center information
display dims under the following condi-
tions.
 The light switch is in the “ ” or “ ”
position when the ambient light is dark.
 The light switch is in the “AUTO” posi-
tion and the headlights illuminate auto-
matically.
You can adjust the illumination brightness
for better visibility.
To brighten, turn the control dial upward.
To darken, turn the control dial downward.
