Multi-Information Display

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 regulations to disconnect, reset, or alter the odometer with the intent to change the number of miles or kilometers indicated.

Trip Meter 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, then press and hold the SEL/RESET button until the number resets to ‘‘0.0’’.

74

When you reset Trip A, AVG. FUEL A is reset at the same time. When you reset Trip B, AVG. FUEL B is reset.

You can customize the Trip A and AVG. FUEL A reset condition on the multi-information display (see page 91

).

Outside Temperature Display This shows the outside temperature in Fahrenheit (U.S. models), or in Celsius (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

89

).

2009 RDX ０８／０４／１１　１８：１２：４４　３１ＳＴＫ６２０　００８０　

Maintenance Minder The multi-information display in the instrument panel shows you the engine oil life and maintenance service items when the ignition switch is in the ON (II) position. This information helps to keep you aware of the periodic maintenance your vehicle needs for continued trouble- free driving. Refer to page more information.

for

INST. MPG (U.S. models)/INST. L/100km (Canadian models) This shows your current fuel mileage.

When you turn off the engine, INST. MPG or INST. L/100 km is also reset.

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.

When the battery is disconnected, or you refuel, RANGE is also reset.

ELAPSED TIME 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.

You can customize the ELAPSED TIME reset condition on the multi- information display (see page ).

93

Multi-Information Display

AVG. SPEED 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.

When you reset Trip A, AVG. SPEED is also reset.

AVG. FUEL A/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 AVG. FUEL A reset condition on the multi-information display (see page 91

).

The average fuel mileage will be reset when you reset the trip meter, or if the vehicle’s battery goes dead or is disconnected.

Multi-Information Display

Temperature Gauge This shows the temperature of the engine’s coolant. During normal operation, the reading should rise from the ‘‘C (Cold)’’ mark to about the middle of the gauge. In severe driving conditions, such as very hot weather or a long period of uphill driving, the reading may rise to near the ‘‘H (Hot)’’ mark of the gauge. If it reaches the ‘‘H’’ mark, pull safely to the side of the road. See page 379
on checking the engine’s coolant system.
