WARNING

Caution for use while driving

When operating the multi-information

display while driving, pay extra atten-

tion to the safety of the area around

the vehicle.

Do not look continuously at the multi-

information display while driving as

you may fail to see pedestrians, objects

on the road, etc. ahead of the vehicle.

The information display at low tem-

peratures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm

up before using the liquid crystal infor-

mation display. At extremely low tem-

peratures, the information display

monitor may respond slowly, and display

changes may be delayed.

For example, there is a lag between the

driver’s shifting and the new gear num-

ber appearing on the display. This lag

could cause the driver to downshift

again, causing rapid and excessive

engine braking and possibly an accident

resulting in death or injury.

Changing the meter display
