

Trip meter A/trip meter B

Displays the distance the vehicle
has been driven since the meter
was last reset. Trip meters A and B

WARNING

■

The information display at

low temperatures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to

warm up before using the liquid

crystal information display. At

extremely low temperatures, 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 number appearing

on the display. This lag could

cause the driver to downshift

again, causing rapid and exces-

sive engine braking and possibly

an accident resulting in death or

injury.

NOTICE

■

To prevent damage to the

engine and its components

●

Do not let the indicator needle

of the tachometer enter the red

zone, which indicates the maxi-

mum engine speed.

●

The engine may be overheating

if the engine coolant tempera-

ture gauge is in the red zone

(H). In this case, immediately

stop the vehicle in a safe place,

and check the engine after it

has cooled completely.
