Speedometer

The speedometer indicates vehicle speed.

Tachometer

The tachometer indicates engine speed in

revolutions per minute.

Fuel gauge

68PH02209

When the ignition switch is in “ON” posi-

tion, this gauge gives an approximate indi-

cation of the amount of fuel in the fuel tank.

“F” stands for full and “E” stands for empty.

If the indicator gets off the graduation of

“E” (not character “E”), refill the tank as

soon as possible.

NOTE:

The indicator moves a little depending on

road conditions (for example, slope or

curve) and driving conditions because of

fuel moving in the tank.

If the low fuel warning light (1) comes on,

fill the fuel tank immediately.

Refer to “Low fuel warning light” in “Warn-

ing and indicator lights” in this section for

details.

The mark (2) indicates that the fuel filler

door is located on the left side of the vehi-

cle.

NOTICE

Never drive the vehicle with the

engine revving in the red zone or

severe engine damage can result.

Keep the engine speed below the red

zone even when downshifting to a

lower gear position.

Refer to “Downshifting maximum

allowable speeds” in “OPERATING

YOUR VEHICLE” section.

Temperature gauge

68PH02210

When the ignition switch is in “ON” posi-

tion, this gauge indicates the engine cool-

ant temperature. Under normal driving

conditions, the indicator should stay within

the normal, acceptable temperature range

between “H” and “C”. If the indicator

approaches “H”, overheating is indicated.

Follow the instructions for engine over-

heating in “EMERGENCY SERVICE” sec-

tion.

Brightness control

68PH02211

When the ignition switch is turned to “ON”

position, the instrument cluster lights come

on.

Your vehicle has a system to automatically

dim the brightness of the instrument panel

lights when the position lights or headlights

are on.

When the position lights and/or headlights

are ON, you can control the meter illumina-

tion intensity.

To increase the brightness of the instru-

ment panel lights, turn the brightness con-

trol knob (1) clockwise.

To reduce the brightness of the instrument

panel lights, turn the brightness control

knob (1) counterclockwise.

NOTE:

• If you do not turn the knob within several

seconds of activating, the brightness

control display will be canceled automat-

ically.

• When you reconnect the battery, the

brightness of the instrument panel lights

will be reinitialized. Readjust the bright-

ness according to your preference.

NOTE:

If you select the maximum brightness level

when the position lights or headlights are

on, the following functions will be can-

celled.

• The function which automatically dims

the brightness of instrument cluster

lights

• The function which operates with the

brightness control, except maximum

brightness level

NOTICE

Continuing to drive the vehicle when

engine overheating is indicated can

result in severe engine damage.

Thermometer

When the ignition switch is in “ON” posi-

tion, the display (A) shows the thermome-

ter.

The thermometer indicates the outside

temperature.

68PH02214

If the outside temperature nears freezing,

the mark (a) will appear on the display.

NOTE:

• The outside temperature indication is not

the actual outside temperature when

driving at low speed, or when stopped.

• If there is something wrong with the ther-

mometer, or just after the ignition switch

is turned to “ON” position, the display

may not indicate the outside tempera-

ture.

When the display (C) shows the driving

range, you can change the unit of tem-

perature.

To change the unit of temperature, while

pushing and holding the trip meter selector

knob (2), turn the indicator selector knob

(3).

68PM00273

NOTE:

When you reconnect the negative (–) ter-

minal to the battery, the unit of temperature

will be reinitialized. Change the unit again

to your preference.

Trip meter

The trip meter can be used to measure the

distance traveled on short trips or between

fuel stops.

You can use the trip meter A or trip meter B

independently.

To reset the trip meter to zero, push and

hold the trip meter selector knob (2) for a

while when the display shows the trip

meter.

NOTE:

The indicated maximum value of the trip

meter is 9999.9. When you run past the

maximum value, the indicated value will

return to 0.0.

Odometer

The odometer records the total distance

the vehicle has been driven.

Instantaneous fuel consumption

If you selected instantaneous fuel con-

sumption the last time you drove the vehi-

cle, the display does not show the last

value of instantaneous fuel consumption

from previous driving when the ignition

switch is turned to “ON” position. The dis-

play shows the value only when the vehi-

cle is moving.

NOTE:

• The display does not show the value

unless the vehicle is moving.

• Depending on the vehicle’s specification,

the fuel consumption units of initial set-

ting are indicated as L/100km, km/L or

MPG.

• For “L/100km” or “km/L” setting, the indi-

cated maximum value of instantaneous

fuel consumption is 30. No more than 30

will be indicated on the display even if

the actual instantaneous fuel consump-

tion is higher.

• For “MPG” setting, the indicated maxi-

mum value of instantaneous fuel con-

sumption is 80. No more than 80 will be

indicated on the display even if the

actual instantaneous fuel consumption is

higher.

• The indication on the display may be

delayed if fuel consumption is greatly

affected by driving conditions.

• The display shows estimated values.

Indications may not be the same as

actual values.

NOTICE

Keep track of your odometer reading

and check the maintenance sched-

ule regularly for required services.

Increased wear or damage to certain

parts can result from failure to per-

form required services at the proper

mileage intervals.

2-77

BEFORE DRIVING

68PM2-01E

• For “L/100km” or “km/L” setting, you can

change the units that instantaneous fuel

consumption is displayed in. Refer to

“Average fuel consumption” in this sec-

tion.

Average fuel consumption

If you selected average fuel consumption

the last time you drove the vehicle, the dis-

play shows the last value of average fuel

consumption from previous driving when

the ignition switch is turned to “ON” posi-

tion. Unless you reset the value of average

fuel consumption, the display indicates the

value of average fuel consumption which

includes average fuel consumption during

previous driving.

To reset the average fuel consumption to

zero, push and hold the indicator selector

knob (3) for a while when the display

shows the average fuel consumption.

NOTE:

When you reset the indication or reconnect

the negative (–) terminal to the battery, the

value of average fuel consumption will be

shown after driving for a while.

(For “L/100km” or “km/L” setting)

To change the unit of average fuel con-

sumption, while pushing and holding the

trip meter selector knob (2), turn the indica-

tor selector knob (3).

68PH02217

NOTE:

• When you change the units that average

fuel consumption is displayed in, the

instantaneous fuel consumption units will

be changed automatically.

• When you reconnect the negative (–)

terminal to the battery, the unit of the

average fuel consumption will be reini-

tialized. Change the unit again to your

preference.

Driving range

If you selected driving range the last time

you drove the vehicle, the display indicates

“---” for a few seconds and then indicates

the current driving range when the ignition

switch is turned to “ON” position.

The driving range shown in the display is

the approximate distance you can drive

until the fuel gauge indicates “E”, based on

current driving conditions.

When the low fuel warning light comes on,

the display “---” will appear.

If the low fuel warning light comes on, fill

the fuel tank immediately regardless of the

value of driving range shown in the display.

As the driving range after refueling is cal-

culated based on the most recent driving

condition, the value is different each time

you refuel.

NOTE:

• If you refuel when the ignition switch is in

“ON” position, the driving range may not

indicate the correct value.

• When you reconnect the negative (–)

terminal to the battery, the value of driv-

ing range will be shown after driving for a

while.
