To switch the information display between the odometer, trip meter, outside temperature, and engine oil life and maintenance item code(s), press the SEL/RESET button repeatedly.

Odometer The odometer shows the total distance your vehicle has been driven. It measures in miles or kilometers. 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.

Press and hold the display change button until you hear a beep. Each time you press the button, the speedometer, trip meter, average fuel mileage and current fuel mileage readings switches their measures.

Depending on the selected measures (mph or km/h), the trip meter and odometer readings are shown with miles or km. The average fuel mileage and current fuel mileage are shown with mpg or l/100 km.

Current Fuel Mileage

This display shows the current, or instant fuel mileage you are getting.

It shows the number of mpg or l/100
km.

Temperature Gauge This shows the temperature of the engine’s coolant. During normal operation, the reading should be in the middle of the gauge. In severe driving conditions, such as very hot weather or a long period of uphill driving, the reading may reach near the red mark. If it reaches the red (Hot) mark, pull safely to the side of the road. See page instructions and precautions on checking the engine’s cooling system.

Trip Meter This meter shows the number of miles or kilometers driven since you last reset it.

There are two trip meters: TRIP A and TRIP B. Switch between these displays by pressing the SEL/ RESET button 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 SEL/RESET button until the number resets to ‘‘0.0.’’

Average Fuel Mileage When either of the trip meters (trip A or trip B) is displayed, your vehicle’s average fuel mileage since you last reset that trip meter can be shown on the information display (mpg or l/100km). This number is updated once per 10 seconds. To see the average fuel mileage, press and release the SEL/RESET button repeatedly.

The average fuel mileage will be reset when you reset the trip meter, or if the vehicle’s battery goes dead or is disconnected.

Fuel Gauge This shows how much fuel you have. It may show slightly more or less than the actual amount.

Avoid driving with an extremely low f uel level. Running out of f uel could cause the engine to misf ire, damaging the catalytic converter.

66

Main MenuTable of ContentsstOutside Temperature Indicator This indicator displays the outside temperature in Fahrenheit (U.S. models) or Centigrade (Canadian models). To see the outside temperature, press and release the SEL/RESET button until the temperature is shown on the information display.

The temperature sensor is in the front bumper. Therefore, 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 speed is under 19 mph (30 km/h).

The sensor delays the display update until it reaches the correct outside temperature. This may take several minutes.

If the outside temperature is incorrectly displayed, you can adjust it up to cooler.

If the system still detects a leak in the vehicle’s evaporative emissions system, the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) comes on. If the fuel fill cap was not already tightened, turn the engine off, and check or retighten the fuel fill cap until it clicks at least once. The MIL should go off after several days of normal driving once the cap is tightened or replaced. If the MIL does not go off, have your vehicle inspected by a dealer. For more information, see page

Check Fuel Cap Message Your vehicle’s on board diagnostic system will detect a loose or missing fuel fill cap as an evaporative system leak. The first time a leak is detected a ‘‘CHECK FUEL CAP’’ message appears on the information display. Turn the engine off, and confirm the fuel fill cap is installed. If it is, loosen it, then retighten it until it clicks at least once. The message should go off after several days of normal driving once you tighten or replace the fuel fill cap. To scroll to another display, press the SEL/RESET button. The ‘‘CHECK FUEL CAP’’ message will appear each time you restart the engine until the system turns the message off.

BATTERY LEVEL GAUGE

acceleration or climbing a long hill. The IMA motor will recharge the battery as you continue driving.

If the battery is mostly discharged, the Auto Idle Stop function is disabled (see page

170

).

The battery level gauge does not read the battery level directly. It calculates the level by continuously measuring the current flow, voltage, and temperature.

Since the level is not read directly, small sensing errors can, over time, cause the gauge to read higher than the actual battery level. The system will then perform a correction, and the battery level gauge reading will drop suddenly. When this happens, IMA assist and Auto Idle Stop are disabled until the IMA battery is sufficiently recharged by normal driving. This should take only a few minutes.

This gauge shows you the state of charge of the battery for the Integrated Motor Assist (IMA). This battery is recharged by the IMA motor, and discharged by the IMA when it is assisting the engine with powering the vehicle.

The gauge reading may drop near the bottom under driving conditions that require IMA motor assistance for a long time, such as prolonged

Gauges

This correction of the battery level gauge is normal and does not indicate a problem. If the IMA battery develops a problem or becomes deteriorated, the IMA system indicator will come on. If this happens, have the vehicle checked by your dealer as soon as possible.

69

Main MenuTable of ContentsstIf the IMA battery is too hot or too cold, the IMA system limits the IMA battery’s output power to protect the battery. This disables the IMA assist and Auto Idle Stop, even though the Battery Level Gauge may show that the battery is well-charged. Therefore, if the motor assist is frequently used, the battery becomes hot and starts to limit its output power.

It takes the IMA system a few minutes in cold weather to normalize the IMA battery’s output power, and about 15 minutes in hot weather.

Charge/Assist Gauge

IMA ASSIST GAUGE

IMA CHARGE GAUGE This gauge shows you the status of the Integrated Motor Assist (IMA). When the IMA battery is being charged, the bottom side of the gauge illuminates. When the IMA is assisting the engine, the upper side of the gauge illuminates.

The immobilizer system protects your vehicle from theft. If an improperly-coded key (or other device) is used, the engine’s fuel system is disabled.

When you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position, the immobilizer system indicator should come on briefly, then go off. If the indicator starts to blink, it means the system does not recognize the coding of the key. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (0) position, remove the key, reinsert it, and turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position again.

The system may not recognize your key’s coding if another immobilizer key or other metal object (i.e. key fob) is near the ignition switch when you insert the key.

If the system repeatedly does not recognize the coding of your key, contact your dealer.

Do not attempt to alter this system or add other devices to it. Electrical problems could result that may make your vehicle undrivable.

If you have lost your key and cannot start your engine, contact your dealer.
