Trip Meter This meter shows the number of miles or kilometers driven since you last reset it.
Fuel Gauge This shows how much fuel you have. It may show slightly more or less than the actual amount.
There are two trip meters: TRIP A and TRIP B. Switch between these displays by pressing the SEL/ RESET button repeatedly.
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.’’
Avoid driving with an extremely low f uel level. Running out of f uel could cause the engine to misf ire, damaging the catalytic converter.
Temperature Gauge
This shows the temperature of the
engine’s coolant. During normal
operation, the reading should be in
the middle of the gauge. In severe
driving conditions, the reading may
reach near the red mark. If it
reaches the red mark, pull safely to
the side of the road. Turn to page

Outside Temperature Indicator Ifequipped This indicator displays the outside temperature in Fahrenheit (U.S. models) or Centigrade (Canadian models). To see the outside temperature, press and release the SEL/RESET button until the temperature is shown in the information display.
The temperature sensor is in the front bumper. Therefore, 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 speed is under 19 mph (30 km/h).
If the outside temperature is incorrectly displayed, you can adjust it up to cooler.

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

Check Fuel Cap Indicator If your fuel cap is loose or missing, a ‘‘CHECK FUEL CAP’’ message appears in the information display after you start the engine. Turn the engine off and confirm the fuel cap is installed. If it is, loosen the cap, then retighten it until it clicks at least once. When you restart the engine, the message appears again. To scroll to another message, press the SEL/RESET button.
The message will be displayed each time the engine is started. It will take several days of normal driving for the vehicle to turn the warning off.
