NOTE  
NOTE  
When the ignition is switched to ACC or  
off, the odometer or trip meters cannot be  
displayed, however, pressing the selector  
can inadvertently switch the trip meters or  
reset them during an approximate ten-  
minute period in the following cases:  
ꢀyꢀ(Vehicles with type B audio)  
ꢀ If the fuel economy data is reset using  
the fuel economy monitor, or trip A  
is reset using the trip meter when the  
function which synchronizes the fuel  
economy monitor and the trip meter is  
on, the fuel economy data and trip A are  
reset simultaneously.  
ꢀyꢀAfter the ignition is switched to off from  
ON.  
ꢀyꢀAfter the driver's door is opened.  
ꢀ Refer to Fuel Economy Monitor on page  
4-85.  
ꢀyꢀOnly the trip meters record tenths of  
kilometers (miles).  
ꢀyꢀThe trip record will be erased when:  
Odometer  
The odometer records the total distance  
the vehicle has been driven.  
ꢀyꢀThe power supply is interrupted  
(blown fuse or the battery is  
disconnected).  
ꢀyꢀThe vehicle is driven over 9999.9 km  
(mile).  
Trip meter  
The trip meter can record the total distance  
of two trips. One is recorded in trip meter  
A, and the other is recorded in trip meter  
B.  
Tachometer*  
For instance, trip meter A can record the  
distance from the point of origin, and  
trip meter B can record the distance from  
where the fuel tank is filled.  
The tachometer shows engine speed in  
thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm).  
CAUTION  
When trip meter A is selected, pressing  
the selector again within one second will  
change to trip meter B mode.  
Do not run the engine with the  
tachometer needle in the RED ZONE.  
This may cause severe engine damage.  
Type A  
When trip meter A is selected, TRIP A  
will be displayed. When trip meter B is  
selected, TRIP B will be displayed.  
1 Striped zone  
*
The trip meter records the total distance  
the vehicle is driven until the meter  
is again reset. Return it to “0.0” by  
depressing and holding the selector for  
one second or more. Use this meter to  
measure trip distances and to compute fuel  
consumption.

possible.  
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page  
4-20.  
When the tachometer needle enters the  
STRIPED ZONE, this indicates to the  
driver that the gears should be shifted  
before entering the RED ZONE.  
NOTE  
Fuel Gauge  
ꢀyꢀAfter refueling, it may require some  
time for the indicator to stabilize. In  
addition, the indicator may deviate  
while driving on a slope or curve since  
the fuel moves in the tank.  
ꢀyꢀThe display indicating a quarter or less  
remaining fuel has more segments to  
show the remaining fuel level in greater  
detail.  
The fuel gauge shows approximately  
how much fuel is remaining in the tank  
when the ignition is switched ON. We  
recommend keeping the tank over 1/4 full.  
Type A/Type B
