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



Only the trip meters record tenths of
kilometers (miles).



The trip record will be erased when:



The power supply is interrupted
(blown fuse or the battery is
disconnected).



The vehicle is driven over 9999.9 km
(mile).

▼

Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge

Displays the engine coolant temperature.
The blue range of the gauge indicates that
the engine coolant temperature is low, and
the red range of the gauge indicates that
the engine coolant temperature is high and
overheating.

2023-5-8 11:05:50

CAUTION

If the engine coolant temperature gauge needle is
in the red range, there is the 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.
Refer to Overheating on page 7-17.

NOTE



(SKYACTIV-G 2.5T)

If the engine coolant temperature is high
or the engine is hot, the engine output
may be limited.

▼

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.
 

Full

1/4 Full

Empty

If the low fuel warning light illuminates or
the fuel level is very low, refuel as soon as
possible.
If inconsistency in engine performance or
stalling occurs due to low fuel level
conditions, refuel the vehicle as soon as
possible and add at least 10 L (2.7 US gal,
2.2 Imp gal) of fuel.
Refer to Taking Action on page 7-31.

NOTE



After 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.



The direction of the arrow ( ) indicates
that the fuel-filler lid is on the left side
of the vehicle.

▼

Dashboard Illumination

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



When the ignition is switched ON in the
early evening or at dusk, the dashboard
illumination is dimmed for several
seconds until the light sensor detects the
brightness of the surrounding area,
however, the dimming may cancel after
the brightness is detected.



When the lights are turned on, the
lights-on indicator light in the
instrument cluster turns on.
Refer to Headlights on page 4-76.

you can travel on the remaining fuel based
on the fuel economy.
The distance-to-empty will be calculated
and displayed every second.
 

NOTE



Even though the distance-to-empty
display may indicate a sufficient amount
of remaining driving distance before
refueling is required, refuel as soon as
possible if the fuel level is very low or
the low fuel warning light illuminates.



The display will not change unless you
add more than approximately 9 L (2.3
US gal, 1.9 Imp gal) of fuel.



The distance-to-empty is the
approximate remaining distance the
vehicle can be driven until all the
graduation marks in the fuel gauge
indicating the remaining fuel supply
disappear.



If there is no past fuel economy
information such as after first
purchasing your vehicle or the
information is deleted when the battery
cables are disconnected, the actual
distance-to empty/range may differ from
the amount indicated.

▼

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.

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

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.
