Check the tire pressure monitor on the multi-information display and determine the cause (see page


373


).


If this happens, pull to the side of the road when it is safe, check which tire has lost pressure on the multi- information display, and determine the cause. If it is because of a flat tire, have the flat tire repaired as soon as possible. If two or more tires are underinflated, call a professional towing service. For more information, see page 459


Continuing to drive with the SH-AWD indicator blinking may cause serious damage to the system.


Low Tire Pressure/ TPMS Indicator


This indicator normally comes on for a few seconds when you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position.


This indicator has two functions:


1.


If it comes on while driving, it indicates that one or more of your vehicle’s tires are significantly low on pressure.

Multi-Information Display


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.

ODOMETER


TRIP METER


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.


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’’.

U.S.


CANADA


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


You can adjust the outside temperature display (see page


97


).


In certain weather conditions, temperature readings near freezing (32°F, 0°C) could mean that ice is forming on the road surface.

Trip Computer Along with the trip meter, the trip computer calculates these values:


Instantaneous fuel mileage Range Elapsed Time Average Vehicle Speed Average Fuel Economy


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.


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.


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 ). 101


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 99
