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. Switch between these displays 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’’.

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.

Normal Display Messages

OnTouringmodels 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.

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

101

).

When you unlock and open the driver’s door with the remote transmitter, the display shows ‘‘Welcome DRIVER 1’’ or ‘‘Welcome DRIVER 2’’ depending on which remote transmitter you use. The driver’s ‘‘ID’’ is detected by the transmitter. For more information about driver’s ‘‘ID’’, see page

149

If you use the key to unlock the driver’s door, the display only shows ‘‘Welcome.’’ This means the system cannot recognize either ‘‘DRIVER 1’’ or ‘‘DRIVER 2.’’ In this case, you cannot use the customized settings on the multi-information display (see page When you turn the ignition switch to the ACCESSORY (I) position, the display shows ‘‘Goodbye.’’

Messages in the trip computer include:

INST. MPG (U.S. models)/ INST.L/100 km (Canadian models): Your vehicle’s current fuel mileage.

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

RANGE: The estimated distance you can travel on the fuel remaining in the tank. 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.

seconds. ‘‘CUSTOMIZE ENTRY’’ appears on the multi-information display.

You can customize some vehicle control settings for ‘‘DRIVER 1’’ and ‘‘DRIVER 2’’ separately.

To have the driver’s ID detected, make sure you use your transmitter to unlock the driver’s door.

If you use the key to unlock the driver’s door, the system cannot recognize either ‘‘DRIVER 1’’ or ‘‘DRIVER 2.’’ In this case, when you try to enter the customizing mode, ‘‘DRIVER UNKNOWN CUSTOMIZE IMPOSSIBLE’’ will be displayed, and you cannot customize the settings.

You cannot customize the settings under these conditions:

If you turn the ignition switch to the ACCESSORY (I) or the LOCK (0) position.

If you move the shift lever out of Park.

You can cancel each custom setting (Driver 1, Driver 2). Press and hold the LOCK and SLIDING DOOR button (passenger’s side) at the same time until the LED in the remote transmitter blinks twice. At this time, the custom setting is changed to the default setting. To activate each custom setting (Driver 1, Driver 2), repeat this procedure. The LED will blink for 1 second to indicate the custom setting has been activated.
