Odometer, Trip Meter and Trip Meter Selector

The odometer is constantly displayed on the screen when the ignition is switched ON, and the TRIP A or TRIP B screen can be displayed by operating the INFO switch.

 

Odometer

The odometer records the total distance the vehicle has been driven.

Trip meter

The driving distance for a specified interval is indicated. Two types (TRIP A, TRIP B) of interval distance and the average fuel economy for each can be measured.

 

For instance, trip meter A can record the distance from the point of origin, and trip meter B can record the distance from where the fuel tank is filled.

 

When trip meter A is selected, TRIP A will be displayed. When trip meter B is selected, TRIP B will be displayed.

 

The trip meter and average fuel economy can be reset by pressing the INFO switch for 1.5 seconds or more while in each mode.

 

  • Only the trip meters record tenths of kilometers (miles).

  • The trip record will be erased when:

    • The power supply is interrupted (blown fuse or the battery is disconnected).

    • The vehicle is driven over 9999.9 km (mile).

Speed Unit Selector

In some countries, you may have to change the speed units between km/h and mph.

When pressing the selector knob, the speed units in the instrument cluster will change.

 

Average Fuel Economy

The average fuel economy is calculated every minute from the total traveled distance on the trip meter and the total fuel consumption, and the average fuel economy for either TRIP A or TRIP B is displayed.

 

The average fuel economy and trip meters can be reset by pressing the INFO switch for 1.5 seconds or more while in each mode. After the data is cleared, the fuel consumption is recalculated and the - - - km/L (- - - mpg) for the 1 minute prior to it being displayed is indicated.

Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) Display (Some Models)

Displays the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.

Dashboard Illumination

(Without auto-light control)

When the lights are turned on with the ignition switched ON, the brightness of the dashboard illumination is dimmed.

(With auto-light control)

When the lights are turned on with the ignition switched ON, the brightness of the dashboard illumination is dimmed. However, when the light sensor detects that the surrounding area is bright such as when the lights are turned on in the daytime, the dashboard illumination does not dim.

 

  • (With auto-light control)

    When the ignition is switched ON in the early evening or at dusk, the dashboard illumination is dimmed for several seconds until the light sensor detects the brightness of the surrounding area, however, the dimming may cancel after the brightness is detected.

  • When the lights are turned on, the lights-on indicator light in the instrument cluster turns on.

    Refer to Headlights (Search).

The brightness of the instrument cluster and dashboard illuminations can be adjusted by rotating the knob.

  • The brightness decreases by rotating the knob to the left. A beep sound will be heard when the knob has been rotated to the maximum dim position.

  • The brightness increases by rotating the knob to the right.

Function for canceling illumination dimmer

The illumination dimmer can be canceled by rotating the dashboard illumination knob to the right until a beep sound is heard while the instrument cluster is dimmed with the ignition switched ON. If the instrument cluster's visibility is reduced due to glare from surrounding brightness, cancel the illumination dimmer.

 

  • The illumination dimmer can be canceled by pressing the dashboard illumination knob.

  • When the illumination dimmer is canceled, the instrument cluster cannot be dimmed even if the lights are turned on.

  • When the illumination dimmer is canceled, the screen in the center display switches to constant display of the daytime screen.
