1. Instantaneous fuel consumption

(“INST ECON”)

The instantaneous fuel consumption is calculated and displayed based on driv- ing distance and fuel consumption for 2 seconds with the engine running. The displayed value is updated every 2
seconds. Note that an accurate figure may not be shown in the following cases. D When the vehicle is stopped with the engine running, the display will indicate the extremely high fuel consumption.

D When

the vehicle

is driving down a long slope, applying the engine brake, the display will indicate the extremely low fuel consumption.

The calculation is reset when the ignition switch is turned off.

The cruise information display indicates the following information. 1. Instantaneous fuel consumption 2. Average fuel consumption after refuel-

ing

3. Average vehicle speed 4. Driving range 5. Driving time Every time you push the “DISPLAY” but- ton, the display toggles through this infor- mation. The displayed values in the cruise infor- mation display indicate general driving conditions. Accuracy varies with driving habits and road conditions. If the electrical power source has been disconnected, the display will automatically be set to instantaneous fuel consumption. To set the unit, push the “MODE” button until the unit display appears and blinks. Then push the “RESET/ADJ” button to se- lect km/liter or mile/gallon. (At this time, the outside temperature and air condition- ing displays also change.) After setting the unit, push the “MODE” button until the display returns to normal calendar mode.

2. Average fuel consumption after re-

fueling (“AVG ECON”)

Average fuel consumption after refuel- ing is calculated and displayed based on total driving distance and total fuel consumption with the engine running. The displayed value is updated every 10

CALIBRATING THE COMPASS (deviation calibration) the compass The direction display on deviates true direction deter- mined by the earth’s magnetic field. The angle of deviation varies according to the geographic position of the vehicle. To adjust for this deviation, stop the ve- hicle and push the “MODE” button several times until “ZONE XX” appears on the calendar display. Then push the “RESET/ ADJ” button, referring to the following map to select the number of the zone where the vehicle is.

The compass may not show the correct direction in the following conditions: D The vehicle is stopped immediately af-

ter turning. The compass does not adjust while the vehicle is stopped.

D The ignition switch is turned off imme-

diately after turning.

D The vehicle is on an inclined surface. D The vehicle is in a place where the earth’s magnetic field is subject to in- terference by artificial magnetic fields (underground parking, under a steel tower, between buildings, roof parking, near a crossing, near a large vehicle, etc.).

CAUTION

D When programming the HomeLinkR Universal Transceiver, you may be operating a garage door or other device. Make sure people and ob- jects are out of the way of the ga- rage door or other device to pre- vent potential harm or damage.

D Do not use this HomeLinkR Univer- sal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks the safety stop and reverse feature as re- quired by federal safety standards. (This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982.) A garage door open- er which cannot detect an object (signaling the door to stop and re- verse), does not meet current feder- al safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases risk of serious injury or death.
