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 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.
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 audio)
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.
