- Transmission shift indicator (if equipped)
- Distance to empty
- Tachometer
- Fuel gauge
- Odometer
- Outside temperature gauge
- Engine coolant temperature gauge
Adjusting instrument cluster illumination
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 taillight are turned on.
WARNING
Never adjust the instrument cluster while driving. This could result in loss of control and lead to an accident that may cause serious injury, death or property damage.
Gauges
The gauges display various information such as the speed of the vehicle, and so on.
Speedometer
Type A
Type B
(km/h).
Tachometer
Type A
Type B
The tachometer indicates the approxi-mate 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
Type A
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 (between the C-H) toward the “H” (Hot) 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 7-6.
WARNING
Never remove the engine coolant reser-voir cap when the engine is hot. The engine coolant is under pressure and could severely burn you. Wait until the engine is cool before adding coolant to the reservoir.
WARNING
Engine coolant reservoir cap
Do not remove the engine cool-ant reservoir cap when the engine is hot. This may result in coolant being blown out of the opening and cause serious burns.
Fuel gauge
Type A
This gauge indicates the approximate amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.
CAUTION
- If the shift gear is not P (Park) or N (Neutral) during refueling, the refuel-ing may not be recognized and the fuel amount and distance to empty may be displayed abnormally.
- More than 6 liters(1.6 gallons) of fuel must be refilled for the vehicle to change the fuel gauge.
NOTICE
- The fuel tank capacity can be found in “Recommended lubricants and capacities” on page 9-9.
- 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 illuminates or when the gauge indi-cator comes close to the “E” (Empty) 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
Type A
Type B
- Odometer range: 999,999 miles or 1,599,999 km.
Distance to empty
Type A
Type B
- The distance to empty is the estimated distance the vehicle can be
driven with the remaining fuel.- Distance range: 1–9,999 miles or 1– 9,999 km.
- If the estimated distance is below 1 km (1 mile), the trip computer will display “—” as distance to empty
CAUTION
If the shift gear is not P (Park) or N (Neu-tral) during refueling, the refueling may not be recognized and the fuel amount and distance to empty may be displayed abnormally.
NOTICE
- If the vehicle is not on level ground or the battery power has been interrupted, the distance to 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 1.6 gallons (6 liters) of fuel are added to the vehicle.
- The fuel economy and distance to empty may vary significantly based on driving conditions, driving habits, and condition of the vehicle.
Outside temperature gauge
Type A
This gauge indicates the current outside air temperatures by 1 °C (1 °F).
- Temperature range: -40 °C – 60 °C (- 40 °F – 140 °F) The outside temperature on the display may not change immediately like a regu-lar thermometer to prevent the driver from being inattentive.
To change the temperature unit (from °C to °F or from °F to °C), select Setup → General → Units → Temperature Unit from the infotainment system.
Transmission shift indicator
The transmission shift indicator displays gear information depending on your vehicle’s transmission type.
Automatic transmission shift indi-cator
Type A
Type B
- Park: P
- Reverse: R
- Neutral: N
- Drive: D
