Features and controls

Speedometer

The speedometer indicates the vehicle’s speed in miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h).

Features and controls

Tachometer

The tachometer shows engine revolutions per minute. This allows the driver to determine the most efficient gear range and engine speed combinations. This gauge also assists in evaluating engine performance.

Odometer/Trip odometer

When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, an “ODO” or “TRIP” indicator is displayed.

CAUTION! ● The red zone indicates an engine speed beyond the

range of safe operation. Select the correct gear to control the engine speed so that the tachometer indicator does not enter the red zone.

1- Reset button 2- Odometer/Trip odometer

Features and controls

Every time the reset button (1) is pressed lightly (less than one second), the indicators are changed.

ODO-Odometer

The odometer shows the total distance the vehicle has traveled. TRIP-Trip odometer

The trip odometer shows the distance traveled since the last time it was reset. There are two trip odometer displays: and . TRIP can be used to measure the distance traveled since the current trip began. At the same time, TRIP can be used to measure the dis- tance from a second location. To reset the trip odometer

To zero the counter, press and hold the reset button for more than one second. Only the currently displayed value will be reset. If TRIP is displayed, for example, only TRIP will be reset. NOTE

● Both TRIP and TRIP can measure trips up to 9999.9 miles/kilometers.

● Even when the engine has been stopped, the odometer/trip odometer indication is given for about 30 seconds if any of the following steps is taken. • The ignition key is turned to the “OFF” position. • The driver’s door is opened. • The odometer/trip odometer reset button is pressed.

● If the battery is disconnected for a long time, both of these displays will be reset to “0”.

Type 1

Type 2

Features and controls

Fuel gauge

This gauge shows the amount of fuel in the fuel tank when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position.

NOTE

● It takes a little time after refueling for the gauge to register the newly added fuel.

● If you refuel when the ignition key is in the “ON” position, the gauge may differ from the actual level.

Fuel tank filler door mark

The arrow (A) indicates that the fuel tank filler door is located on the left side of the vehicle (Refer to “Filling the fuel tank” on page 1-4). Low-fuel warning light

The warning light (B) comes on with the ignition key in the “ON” position when the fuel level is getting low. Refuel as soon as possible.

NOTE ● On inclines or curves, due to the movement of fuel in the

tank, the low-fuel warning light may indicate incorrectly.

CAUTION! ● Do not drive with an extremely low fuel level. Run-

ning out of gas could cause damage to the catalytic converter.

Features and controls

Engine coolant temperature gauge

This gauge shows the engine coolant temperature. If the tem- perature is low when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position, the indicator will remain at the “C” (cold) position until the engine begins to warm up. The indicator will normally stay near the center while driving, but may rise slightly in stop-and-go traffic or when the engine is under a heavy load.

Light dimmer control (meter illumination con- trol)

The rheostat can be adjusted while the headlights or tail lights are on. Turn the dial to adjust the illumination (meter, multi center dis- play, audio system’s control panel, heater control panel, etc.) to the desired brightness.

CAUTION! ● Take care to keep the engine operating temperature

within the normal range while driving. If the indica- tor enters the “H” (hot) position, the engine is over- heating (Refer to “Engine overheating” on page 6- 6).
