Instrument Cluster
The actual cluster and contents of the LCD display in the vehicle may differ from the illustration.
- Tachometer
- Speedometer
- Engine coolant temperature gauge
- Fuel gauge
- LCD display
- Warning and indicator lights
Instrument cluster control
The brightness of the instrument panel illumination is changed by pressing the illumination control button (“+” or “-“) when the ENGINE START/STOP button is ON, or the taillights are turned on.
- If you hold the illumination control button (“+” or “-“), the brightness will continuously change.
- If the brightness reaches to the maximum or minimum level, an alarm will sound.
Gauges
The gauges display various information such as the speed of the vehicle, the amount of charge of the battery, and so on.
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle and is calibrated in kilometres per hour (km/h) and/or miles per hour (mph).
Tachometer
The tachometer indicates the approximate number of engine revolutions per minute (rpm). Use the tachometer to select the correct
shift points and to prevent lugging and/or over-revving the engine.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine within the tachometer’s RED ZONE. This may cause severe engine damage.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant when the ENGINE START/STOP button is ON.
CAUTION
If the gauge pointer moves beyond the normal range area toward the “H” position, it indicates overheating that may damage the engine. Do not continue driving with an over-heated engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer to “If the engine overheats” on page 6-6.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The engine coolant is under pressure and could severely burn. Wait until the engine is cool before adding coolant to the reservoir.

Fuel Gauge
This gauge indicates the approximate amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.
NOTICE
- The fuel tank capacity is given in “Recommended lubricants and capacities” on page 8-7.
- The fuel gauge is supplemented by a low fuel warning light, which will appear when the fuel tank is nearly empty.
- On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel warning light may come on earlier than usual due to the movement of fuel in the tank.
WARNING
- Fuel Gauge
Running out of fuel can expose vehicle occupants to danger. You must stop and obtain additional fuel as soon as possible after the warning light comes on or when the gauge indicator comes close to the “E” level.
CAUTION
Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, which could dam- age the catalytic converter.
NOTICE
The fuel display may not be accurate if the vehicle is on an incline.
Odometer
- Odometer range: 0~1,599,999 kilometres or 0~999,999 miles.
Distance to empty
- The distance to empty is the esti- mated distance the vehicle can be driven with the remaining fuel.
- Distance range: 1 ~ 9,999 km or 1 ~ 9,999 miles.
- If the estimated distance is below 1 km (1 mile), the trip computer will dis- play “—” as distance to empty.
NOTICE
- If the vehicle is not on level ground or the battery power has been interrupted, the distance to the empty function may not operate correctly.
- The distance to empty may differ from the actual driving distance as it is an estimate of the available driving distance.
- The trip computer may not register additional fuel if less than 6 litres (1.6 gallons) of fuel are added to the vehicle.
- The fuel economy and distance to empty may vary significantly based on driving conditions, driving habits, and the condition of the vehicle.
Outside Temperature Gauge
This gauge indicates the current outside air temperatures by 1 °C (1 °F).
- Temperature range: -40~60 °C (-40~140 °F)
The outside temperature on the display may not change immediately, like a normal thermometer would, so as to prevent the driver from being distracted To change the temperature unit (from °C to °F or from °F to °C) The temperature unit can be changed by using the “User Settings” mode of the LCD display.
