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

369

Fuel Gauge This shows how much fuel you have. It may show slightly more or less than the actual amount. The needle returns to the bottom after you turn off the ignition.

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.

71

Information Provided by:Gauges

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.

72

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. Switch between these displays and the outside temperature display by pressing the Select/Reset knob 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 Select/Reset knob until the number resets to ‘‘0.0.’’ Both trip meters will reset if the vehicle’s battery goes dead or is disconnected.

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 Select/Reset button until the temperature is displayed.

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 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.

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

On the Touring model, the odometer, trip meter, and the outside temperature indicator are displayed in the multi-information display. See page

for more information.

Check Fuel Cap Indicator (Odometer/trip meter message) OnLXandEXmodels If your fuel cap is loose or missing, a ‘‘CHECK FUEL CAP’’ message appears as text in the odometer/trip meter 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 at least 3 clicks. When you restart the engine, the message appears again. To clear the message, press and hold the select/reset button until the message is replaced in the odometer/trip meter display.

Gauges

If the system still detects a loose or missing fuel cap, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) comes on. Turn the engine off and check or retighten the fuel cap at least 3 clicks. The MIL goes out after 3 days of normal driving once the cap is tightened or replaced. If it does not go out, have your dealer inspect the vehicle. For more information, see page

Information Provided by:Multi-Information Display

OnTouringmodelonly 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.

There are four types of messages; normal display messages, engine oil life and maintenance messages, system messages, and PAX system warning messages.

You can also customize some vehicle control settings to your liking with the multi-information display and the two buttons on the steering wheel (see page

This distance is estimated from the fuel economy you received over the last several miles, so it will vary with changes in speed, traffic, etc. ELAPSED TIME: The time traveled since you last reset the trip computer. AVERAGE SPEED: The average speed you are traveling. AVERAGE FUEL A/AVERAGE FUEL B: Your vehicle’s average fuel economy since you last reset the trip computer.

To reset the values in the trip computer, press the Select/Reset button, and hold it for about 1
second.
