Instrument Cluster and Display
Instrument Cluster (Type A)
Dashboard Illumination
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.
-
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.
-
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.
Distance-to-empty
This displays the approximate distance you can travel on the remaining fuel based on the fuel economy.
The distance-to-empty will be calculated and displayed every second.
-
Even though the distance-to-empty display may indicate a sufficient amount of remaining driving distance before refueling is required, refuel as soon as possible if the fuel level is very low or the low fuel warning light illuminates.
-
The display will not change unless you add more than approximately 9 L (2.3 US gal, 1.9 Imp gal) of fuel.
-
The distance-to-empty is the approximate remaining distance the vehicle can be driven until all the graduation marks in the fuel gauge indicating the remaining fuel supply disappear.
-
If there is no past fuel economy information such as after first purchasing your vehicle or the information is deleted when the battery cables are disconnected, the actual distance-to empty/range may differ from the amount indicated.
