Speedometer The speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle. Tachometer The tachometer shows engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm). CAUTION Do not run the engine with the tachometer needle in the RED ZONE. This may cause severe engine damage. NOTE When the tachometer needle enters the STRIPED ZONE, this indicates to the driver that the gears should be shifted before entering the RED ZONE. Multi-information Display (Type B) The multi-information display indicates the following information.
The screen content changes each time the INFO switch is pressed. Odometer, Trip Meter and Trip Meter Selector The odometer is constantly displayed on the screen when the ignition is switched ON, and the TRIP A or TRIP B screen can be displayed by operating the INFO switch. Odometer The odometer records the total distance the vehicle has been driven. Trip meter The driving distance for a specified interval is indicated. Two types (TRIP A, TRIP B) of interval distance and the average fuel economy for each can be measured. 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. When trip meter A is selected, TRIP A will be displayed. When trip meter B is selected, TRIP B will be displayed. The trip meter and average fuel economy can be reset by pressing the INFO switch for 1.5 seconds or more while in each mode. NOTE
Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge Displays the engine coolant temperature. The blue gauge indicates that the engine coolant temperature is low, and the red gauge indicates that the engine coolant temperature is high and overheating. CAUTION If the high engine coolant temperature warning light (red) flashes, there is a possibility of overheating. Drive slowly to reduce engine load until you can find a safe place to stop the vehicle and wait for the engine to cool down. NOTE
Fuel Gauge 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. If the fuel level is low, ( ) and ( ) turn an amber color. Refuel as soon as possible. NOTE
Dashboard Illumination (Without auto-light control) When the lights are turned on with the ignition switched ON, the brightness of the dashboard illumination is dimmed. (With auto-light control) When the lights are turned on with the ignition switched ON, the brightness of the dashboard illumination is dimmed. However, when the light sensor detects that the surrounding area is bright such as when the lights are turned on in the daytime, the dashboard illumination does not dim. NOTE
The brightness of the instrument cluster and dashboard illuminations can be adjusted by rotating the knob.
Function for canceling illumination dimmer The illumination dimmer can be canceled by rotating the dashboard illumination knob to the right until a beep sound is heard while the instrument cluster is dimmed with the ignition switched ON. If the instrument cluster's visibility is reduced due to glare from surrounding brightness, cancel the illumination dimmer. NOTE
Outside Temperature Display When the ignition is switched ON, the outside temperature is displayed NOTE
Changing the Temperature Unit of the Outside Temperature Display The outside temperature unit can be switched between Celsius and Fahrenheit. Settings can be changed by operating the center display screen. NOTE When the temperature unit indicated in the outside temperature display is changed, the temperature unit indicated in the engine coolant gauge display changes in conjunction with it. Distance-to-empty This displays the approximate distance you can travel on the remaining fuel based on the fuel economy. The distance-to-empty will be calculated and displayed every second. NOTE
Average Fuel Economy The average fuel economy is calculated every minute from the total traveled distance on the trip meter and the total fuel consumption, and the average fuel economy for either TRIP A or TRIP B is displayed The average fuel economy and trip meters can be reset by pressing the INFO switch for 1.5 seconds or more while in each mode. After the data is cleared, the fuel consumption is recalculated and the - - - km/L (- - - mpg) for the 1 minute prior to it being displayed is indicated. Current Fuel Economy This displays the current fuel economy by calculating the amount of fuel consumption and the distance traveled. NOTE Indicates the 0 position when the vehicle speed is about 5 km/h (3 mph) or slower. Maintenance Monitor The following maintenance period notifications can be displayed by turning the Maintenance Monitor on.
When the remaining days to the maintenance period is 15 days or less, or the remaining distance is 1,000 km (600 miles) or shorter, a message is indicated when the ignition is switched ON. For the setting method and indications for the maintenance monitor, refer to the Maintenance Monitor. Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) Display Displays the system status.
