Instrument panel illumination

When the vehicle’s parking lights or headlights are on, push upward or downward the illumination control knob to adjust the brightness of the instrument panel illumination.

The brightness of the instrument panel (Type B) illumination can be adjusted by rotating the control knob when the ignition switch is in ON position.

Gauges

Speedometer

The speedometer indicates the forward speed of the vehicle.

The speedometer is calibrated in miles per hour and/or kilometers per hour.

Tachometer

The tachometer indicates the approximate number of engine revolutions per minute (rpm).

Use the tachometer to select the correct shift points and to prevent lugging and/or over-revving the engine.

The tachometer pointer may move slightly when the ignition switch is in ACC or ON position with the engine OFF. This movement is normal and will not affect the accuracy of the tachometer once the engine is running.

CAUTION - Red zone

Do not operate the engine within the tachometer's RED ZONE. This may cause severe engine damage.

Engine coolant temperature gauge

This gauge shows the temperature of the engine coolant when the ignition switch is ON.

Do not continue driving with an overheated engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer to “If the engine overheats” in section 6.

If the gauge pointer moves beyond the normal range area toward the “H” position, it indicates overheating that may damage the engine.

Fuel gauge

The fuel gauge indicates the approximate amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank. The fuel tank capacity is given in section 8. The fuel gauge is supplemented by a low fuel warning light, which will illuminate when the fuel tank is nearly empty.

On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel warning light may come on earlier than usual due to the movement of fuel in the tank.

WARNING - Fuel gauge

Stop and obtain additional fuel as soon as possible after the warning light comes on or when the gauge indicator comes close to the E level. Running out of fuel can expose vehicle occupants to danger.

CAUTION - Low fuel

Avoid driving with extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, damaging the catalytic converter.

Odometer

The odometer indicates the total distance the vehicle has been driven.

You will also find the odometer useful to determine when periodic maintenance should be performed.

✽ NOTICE

It is against the law to alter the odometer on all vehicles with the intent to change the mileage registered on the odometer.

Trip computer (Tripmeter) (if equipped)

The trip computer is a microcomputer- controlled driver information system that displays information related to driving, when the ignition switch is in the ON position.

All stored driving information (except distance to empty and instant fuel consumption) will reset if the battery is disconnected.

Cluster Type A

Cluster Type B

Tripmeter

TRIP A: Tripmeter A

TRIP B: Tripmeter B

This mode indicates the distance of individual trips selected since the last tripmeter reset.

The meter's working range is from 0.0 to 999.9 miles (0.0 to 999.9 km). Pressing the TRIP button for more than 1 second, when the tripmeter (TRIP A or TRIP B) is being displayed, clears the tripmeter to zero (0.0).

Distance to empty

This mode indicates the estimated distance to empty based on the current fuel in the fuel tank and the amount of fuel delivered to the engine. When the remaining distance is below 30 miles (50 km), “---” will be displayed and the distance to empty indicator will blink.

The meter’s working range is from 30 to 990 miles (50 to 999 km).

• If the vehicle is not on level ground or the battery power has been interrupted, the “Distance to empty” function may not operate correctly. The trip computer may not register additional fuel if less than 6 liters (1.6 gallons) of fuel are added to the vehicle.
• The fuel consumption and distance to empty values may vary significantly based on driving conditions, driving habits, and condition of the vehicle.
• The distance to empty value is an estimate of the available driving distance. This value may differ from the actual driving distance available.

Average fuel consumption

This mode calculates the average fuel consumption from the total fuel used and the distance since the last average consumption reset. The total fuel used is calculated from the fuel consumption input. For an accurate calculation, drive more than 0.03 mile (50 m).

Pressing the TRIP button for more than 1 second, when the average fuel consumption is displayed, clears the average fuel consumption to zero (---).

If the vehicle speed exceeds 0.6 MPH (1 km/h) after refueled more than 6 l, the average fuel consumption will be cleared to zero (---).

Instant fuel consumption

This mode calculates the instant fuel consumption during the last few seconds.

✽ NOTICE

You must drive more than 6 MPH (10 km/h) (type A) or 3 MPH (5 km/h) (type B) for this mode to calculate the instant fuel consumption.

Average speed

This mode calculates the average speed of the vehicle since the last average speed reset.

Even if the vehicle is not in motion, the average speed keeps going while the engine is running.

Pressing the TRIP button for more than 1 second, when the average speed is displayed, clears the average speed to zero (---).

Driving time

This mode indicates the total time traveled since the last driving time reset.

Even if the vehicle is not in motion, the driving time keeps going while the engine is running.

The meter’s working range is from 0:00~99:59.

Pressing the TRIP button for more than 1 second, when the driving time is being displayed, clears the driving time to zero (0:00).

Outside temperature (if equipped)

This mode indicates the outside temperature around the vehicle.

The meter's working range is from - 40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F).

Type A

To change the outside temperature display unit (°C ↔ °F), press the RESET button more than 1 second in this mode.

Type B

To Change the outside temperature display unit (°C ↔ °F), see the following pages in Vehicle Option section.

Manual transaxle shift indicator (if equipped)

This indicator informs you which gear is desired while driving to save fuel.

For example

: Indicates
that shifting up to the 3rd gear is desired (currently the shift lever is in the 2nd or 1st gear).

: Indicates
that shifting down to the 3rd gear is desired (currently the shift lever is in the 4th or 5th gear).

When the system is not working properly, the indicator is not displayed.

Automatic transaxle shift position indicator (if equipped)

The indicator displays which automatic transaxle shift lever is selected.

Illumination intensity

The illumination intensity of the instrument panel is shown when adjusting it with the illumination control switch.
