Manually updating the fuel

gauge and possible driving

The fuel gauge and the possible

driving range are linked. If the dis-

plays of the fuel gauge and possible

driving range do not update after

adding a small amount of fuel, the

displays can be updated by per-

2-1. Instrument cluster

forming the following procedure.

Stop the vehicle on a level sur-

face.

Press the “ODO TRIP” switch to

change the odometer and trip

meter display to odometer.

Turn the engine switch off.

While pressing and holding the

“ODO TRIP” switch, turn the

engine switch to ON.

Continue to hold the “ODO TRIP”

switch for approximately 5 sec-

onds, and then release it once

the odometer begins flashing.

Updating is complete once the

odometer flashes for approximately

5 seconds and then the display

returns to normal.

■

●

In the following situations, the cor-

rect outside temperature may not

be displayed, or the display may

take longer than normal to

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

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.

Distance to empty

●

This distance is computed based

on your average fuel consump-

tance that can be driven may

differ from that displayed.

●

When only a small amount of fuel

is added to the tank, the display

may not be updated. When refuel-

the vehicle is refueled without

turning the engine switch off, the

display may not be updated.

When “Refuel” is displayed, the

remaining fuel amount is low and

the distance that can be driven

with the remaining fuel cannot be

calculated. Refuel immediately.
