Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle.
Odometer, Trip Meter and Trip Meter Selector (Without Multi-information Display)
The display mode can be changed from odometer to trip meter A to trip meter B and then back to odometer by pressing the selector while one of them is displayed. The selected mode will be displayed.
When the ignition is switched to ACC or off, the odometer or trip meters cannot be displayed, however, pressing the selector can inadvertently switch the trip meters or reset them during an approximate ten-minute period in the following cases:
-
After the ignition is switched to off from ON.
-
After the driver's door is opened.
Odometer
The odometer records the total distance the vehicle has been driven.
Trip meter
The trip meter can record the total distance of two trips. One is recorded in trip meter A, and the other is recorded in trip meter B.
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, pressing the selector again within one second will change to trip meter B mode.
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 records the total distance the vehicle is driven until the meter is again reset. Return it to “0.0” by depressing and holding the selector for one second or more. Use this meter to measure trip distances and to compute fuel consumption.
-
(Vehicles with type B/type C audio)
If the fuel economy data is reset using the fuel economy monitor, or trip A is reset using the trip meter when the function which synchronizes the fuel economy monitor and the trip meter is on, the fuel economy data and trip A are reset simultaneously.
Refer to Fuel Economy Monitor (Search).
-
Only the trip meters record tenths of kilometres (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).
-
Tachometer
The tachometer shows engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm).
Do not run the engine with the tachometer needle in the RED ZONE.
This may cause severe engine damage.
When the tachometer needle enters the STRIPED ZONE, this indicates to the driver that the gears should be shifted before entering the RED ZONE.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge (Without Multi-information Display)
Indicates engine coolant temperature.
If the high engine coolant temperature warning light (red) turns on, there is a possibility of overheating. Park the vehicle in a safe place immediately and take appropriate measures. If the vehicle continues to be driven, it could cause damage to the engine.
Refer to Overheating (Search).
-
During normal driving, the engine coolant temperature stabilizes at 100 °C (210 °F) or less, and the gauge indicates a range lower than 100 °C (210 °F).
-
If the engine load increases and the engine coolant temperature exceeds 100 °C (210 °F), the gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature.
Fuel Gauge (Without Multi-information Display)
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.
If the low fuel warning light illuminates or the fuel level is very low, refuel as soon as possible.
Refer to Warning Indication/Warning Lights (Search).
-
After refuelling, 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 display indicating a quarter or less remaining fuel has more segments to show the remaining fuel level in greater detail.
-
The direction of the arrow (
) indicates that the fuel-filler flap is on the left side of the vehicle.
Instrument Panel Illumination
When the position lights are turned on with the ignition switched ON, the brightness of the instrument panel illumination is dimmed.
When the position lights are turned on, the position lights indicator light in the instrument cluster turns on.
Refer to Headlights (Search).
The brightness of the instrument cluster and instrument panel illuminations can be adjusted by rotating the knob.
-
The brightness decreases by rotating the knob to the left. A beep sound will be heard when the knob has been rotated to the maximum dim position.
-
The brightness increases by rotating the knob to the right.
Function for cancelling illumination dimmer
The illumination dimmer can be cancelled by rotating the instrument panel illumination knob to the right until a beep sound is heard while the instrument cluster is dimmed with the ignition switched ON. If the instrument cluster's visibility is reduced due to glare from surrounding brightness, cancel the illumination dimmer.
-
When the illumination dimmer is cancelled, the instrument cluster cannot be dimmed even if the position lights are turned on.
-
When the illumination dimmer is cancelled, the screen in the centre display switches to constant display of the daytime screen.
Outside Temperature Display (Without Multi-information Display)
When the ignition is switched ON, the outside temperature is displayed.
Under the following conditions, the outside temperature display may differ from the actual outside temperature depending on the surroundings and vehicle conditions:
-
Significantly cold or hot temperatures.
-
Sudden changes in outside temperature.
-
The vehicle is parked.
-
The vehicle is driven at low speeds.
Changing the Temperature Unit of the Outside Temperature Display (Vehicles with Type B/C)
The outside temperature unit can be switched between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Settings can be changed by operating the centre display screen.
Refer to Personalisation Features (Search).
When the temperature unit indicated in the outside temperature display is changed, the temperature unit indicated in the engine coolant gauge display changes in conjunction with it.
Outside Temperature Warning (Some Models)
When the outside temperature is low, the indication flashes and a beep sound is heard to warn the driver of the possibility of icy roads.
If the outside temperature is lower than about 4 °C (39 °F), the outside temperature display and the 
mark flashes for about ten seconds and a beep sound is heard once.
If the outside temperature is lower than -20 °C (-4 °F), the beep sound does not operate. However, the mark illuminates.
Adjustable Speed Limiter Display (Without Multi-information Display) (Some Models)
The setting status of the adjustable speed limiter is displayed.
Cruise Control Set Vehicle Speed Display (Without Multi-information Display) (Some Models)
The vehicle speed preset using the cruise control is displayed.

(European model)
(Except European model)
-
Even though the distance-to-empty display may indicate a sufficient amount of remaining driving distance before refuelling is required, refuel as soon as possible if the fuel level is very low or the low fuel warning light illuminates.
-
The display may 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 leads are disconnected, the actual distance-to empty/range may differ from the amount indicated.
