Temperature Gauge This shows the temperature of the engine's coolant. During normal operation, the pointer should rise to about the middle of the gauge. In severe driving conditions, the pointer may rise to the upper zone. If it reaches the red (hot) mark, pull safely to the side of the road. For instructions and precautions on checking the engine's cooling system, see page 556. Fuel Gauge This shows how much fuel you have. It may show slightly more or less than the actual amount.

Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, damaging the catalytic converter.

The multi-information display in the instrument panel displays various information and messages when the ignition switch is in the ON (II) position. Some of the messages help you operate your vehicle more comfortably. Others help to keep you aware of the periodic maintenance your vehicle needs for continued trouble-free driving. When you open the driver's door, a ‘‘Welcome’’ message is shown on the multi-information display.

Odometer

Trip Meter

TRIP METER

When the main menu is blank, SH-AWD or TIRE PRESSURE, pressing the SEL/RESET button changes the display to ‘‘trip meter/ odometer’’ ‘‘outside temperature/ odometer’’ and ‘‘engine oil life/ odometer’’.

ODOMETER

The odometer shows the total distance your vehicle has been driven. It measures miles in U.S. models and kilometers in Canadian models. It is illegal under U.S. federal law and Canadian provincial/ territorial regulations to disconnect, reset, or alter the odometer with the intent to change the number of miles or kilometers indicated.

This meter shows the number of miles (U.S.) or kilometers (Canada) driven since you last reset it. There are two trip meters: Trip A and Trip B. Each trip meter works independently, so you can keep track of two different distances. To reset a trip meter, display it, and then press and hold the SEL/RESET button until the number resets to ‘‘0.0.’’

CONTINUED 79

Multi-Information Display

When you reset Trip A, average fuel economy A is reset at the same time. When you reset Trip B, average fuel economy B is reset. In the customizing mode, you can set Trip A and average fuel economy A to reset at the same time when you refuel your vehicle (see page 101).

Outside Temperature

OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE

U.S.

CANADA

This shows the outside Fahrenheit temperature in U.S. models, and Celsius temperature in Canadian models.

The temperature sensor is in the front bumper. The temperature reading can be affected by heat reflection from the road surface, engine heat, and the exhaust from surrounding traffic. This can cause an incorrect temperature reading when your vehicle speed is under 19
mph (30 km/h). When you start your trip, the sensor is not fully acclimatized, therefore it may take several minutes until the proper temperature is displayed. In certain weather conditions, temperature readings near freezing (32°F, 0°C) could mean that ice is forming on the road surface. You can adjust the outside temperature display (see page 100).

Engine Oil Life

ENGINE OIL LIFE

SH-AWD Torque Distribution Monitor

Tire Pressure Monitor

Multi-Information Display

This shows the remaining life of the engine oil. It shows 100% after the engine oil is replaced and the display is reset. The engine oil life is calculated based on engine operating conditions and accumulated engine revolutions. For more information, see page 503.

This monitor shows how much torque is being delivered to each wheel. For more information, see page 448.

U.S.

Canada

When the tire pressure monitor is shown on the multi-information display, press the SEL/RESET button. The display changes as shown. You can see the pressure of each tire in this monitor. If one or more tires are low, inflate them to the correct pressure. For more information, see page 451.

Battery Charge Low When the battery's state of charge is low, the vehicle's battery management system triggers one of the following ''BATTERY CHARGE LOW'' messages if the ignition is on or off. Depending on how low the battery's state of charge dropped and how long it remained low, these messages may occur frequently. It may take a number of trips to sufficiently recharge the battery and the messages to no longer appear.

IGN ON (II) - Immediately turn off all electrical devices (interior lights, air conditioning, audio, heated seats, etc.). Try not to operate other electrically operated controls such as the power windows. Driving the vehicle will recharge the battery. If the message continues to display while driving, see your dealer.

Trip Computer

IGN ACCESSORY (I) or LOCK (0) - Follow the message and turn off all electrical devices. Driving the vehicle will recharge the battery, however the vehicle may not start. If no start, see jump starting (page 554) or contact your dealer.

When the main menu displays ‘‘TRIP COMPUTER’’, pressing the SEL/ RESET button changes the display to ‘‘AVERAGE FUEL A/RANGE’’ to ‘‘AVERAGE FUEL B/RANGE’’ and to ‘‘AVERAGE SPEED/ELAPSED TIME’’.

Multi-Information Display

AVERAGEFUELA/B This shows your vehicle's average fuel economy in mpg (U.S. models) or liter/100 km (Canadian models) since you last reset the Trip A or Trip B. You can customize the Trip A and AVERAGE FUEL A reset condition on the multi-information display (see page 101).

CONTINUED 83

Multi-Information Display

RANGE This shows the estimated distance you can travel on the fuel remaining in the fuel tank. This distance is estimated from the fuel economy you received over the last several miles (U.S.) or kilometers (Canada), so it will vary with changes in speed, traffic, etc.

AVERAGESPEED This shows the average speed you are traveling in miles per hour (mph) for U.S. models or kilometers per hour (km/h) for Canadian models. To reset the AVERAGE SPEED you have traveled, press and hold the SEL/RESET button until the number resets.

ELAPSEDTIME This shows the time passed traveled since you last reset it. When you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position, ELAPSED TIME is reset. If you want to reset the ELAPSED TIME manually, go to the trip computer's ELAPSED TIME display, and press and hold the SEL/RESET button until the number resets. You can customize the ELAPSED TIME reset condition on the multi- information display (see page 103).

The system message(s) triggers the appropriate indicator(s) on the instrument panel, including the system message indicator, to come on. The system message indicator does not go off until the problem(s) is corrected. You will also hear a beep when the system message comes on for the first time. Most of the messages are displayed for about 5 seconds, and then the normal display returns. If there are several system messages to be shown, the display switches these messages every 5 seconds.

Multi-Information Display

To cancel the message(s) before 5
seconds have elapsed, press the INFO ( / ) button on the steering wheel. Even if you press the INFO ( / ) button, some messages stay on or come on again at regular intervals until the problem is corrected. You can see the message(s) again by pressing the INFO ( / ) button repeatedly if the system message indicator remains lit on the instrument panel. Here is a list of all messages:

System Messages

SYSTEM MESSAGE INDICATOR

If there is a problem with your vehicle, for example, the engine oil level is low or a door is not fully closed, the multi-information display will show you the problem. It does this by interrupting the current display with one or more messages.
