Instrument Cluster and Display
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle.
Tachometer
The tachometer shows engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm).
Do not run the engine with the tachometer needle in the RED ZONE.
This may cause severe engine damage.
When the tachometer needle enters the STRIPED ZONE, this indicates to the driver that the gears should be shifted before entering the RED ZONE.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
Displays the engine coolant temperature. The blue gauge indicates that the engine coolant temperature is low, and the red gauge indicates that the engine coolant temperature is high and overheating.
If the engine coolant temperature gauge needle is in the red range, there is the possibility of overheating. Drive slowly to reduce engine load until you can find a safe place to stop the vehicle and wait for the engine to cool down.
Refer to Overheating (Search).
-
If the engine coolant temperature is high or the engine is hot, the engine output may be limited.
-
During normal driving, the engine coolant temperature stabilizes at 100 °C (210 °F) or less, and the gauge indicates a range lower than 100 °C (210 °F).
Odometer, Trip Meter and Trip Meter Selector
The display mode can be changed from odometer to trip meter A to trip meter B and then back to odometer by pressing the selector while one of them is displayed. The selected mode will be displayed.
Odometer
The odometer records the total distance the vehicle has been driven.
Trip meter
The trip meter can record the total distance of two trips. One is recorded in trip meter A, and the other is recorded in trip meter B.
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, pressing the selector again within 1 second will change to trip meter B mode.
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 records the total distance the vehicle is driven until the meter is again reset. Return it to “0.0” by depressing and holding the selector for 1 second or more. Use this meter to measure trip distances and to compute fuel consumption.
-
If TRIP A is reset using the trip meter when the function which synchronizes (resets) the fuel economy monitor and the trip meter (TRIP A) is on, the fuel economy data resets in conjunction with TRIP A.
Refer to Fuel Economy Monitor (Search).
-
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).
