There are two trip meters: Trip A

and Trip B. Switch between these

displays and the odometer display by

pressing the Select/Reset button

repeatedly.

Each trip meter works independently,

so you can keep track of two

different distances.

When you turn the ignition switch to

the ON (II) position, the meter you

last selected is displayed.

To reset a trip meter, display it, and

then press and hold the Select/Reset

button until the number resets to

Odometer

Temperature Gauge

Outside Temperature Indicator

The odometer shows the total

distance your vehicle has been

driven. It measures miles in U.S.

models and kilometers in Canadian

models. It is illegal under U.S.

federal law and Canadian provincial

regulations to disconnect, reset, or

alter the odometer with the intent to

change the number of miles or

kilometers indicated.

This shows the temperature of the

engine’s coolant. During normal

operation, the pointer should rise

from the bottom white mark to about

the middle of the gauge. In severe

driving conditions, such as very hot

weather or a long period of uphill

driving, the pointer may rise to the

upper zone. If it reaches the red

(hot) mark, pull safely to the side of

the road. See page 231 for

instructions and precautions on

checking the engines cooling system.

This shows how much fuel you have.

It may show slightly more or less

than the actual amount. The needle

returns to the bottom after you turn

off the ignition.

If equipped

This indicator displays the outside

temperature in Fahrenheit (U.S.

models) or Centigrade (Canadian

models).

Avoid driving with an extremely low

fuel level. Running out of fuel could

cause the engine to misfire, damaging

the catalytic converter.

Canadian models) warmer or cooler.

Check Fuel Cap Indicator

If your fuel fill cap is loose or

missing, a ‘‘CHECK FUEL CAP’’

message appears as text in the

odometer/trip meter display after

you start the engine. The message

appears from CHECK to FUEL, then

to CAP repeatedly.

NOTE: The temperature must be

stabilized before doing this

procedure.
