Speedometer

The speedometer shows the speed at which the vehicle is traveling in forward motion.

The speedometer displays readings in both kilometers per hour and miles per hour.

Type A

Type B

Tachometer

The tachometer provides an approximate indication of engine speed (revolutions per minute (rpm)).

Use the tachometer to judge the proper time to shift gears and to prevent the engine from stalling or over-revving.

The tachometer needle may move slightly when you turn the ignition key to ACC or ON with the engine off. This is normal and does not affect tachometer accuracy once the engine is running.

CAUTION

Do not operate the engine in the RED zone.

You could cause serious engine damage.

Fuel Level Gauge

The fuel gauge shows the approximate amount of fuel in the tank. The fuel tank capacity is given in section 8. The fuel gauge has a low fuel warning light that comes on when the fuel tank is nearly empty.

On slopes or in corners, the fuel gauge needle may move, or the low fuel warning light may come on earlier than normal, due to fuel movement in the tank.

WARNING - Fuel Level Indicator

Running out of fuel exposes the vehicle occupants to certain dangers.

Stop and refuel as soon as possible when the low fuel warning light comes on or when the gauge needle approaches "E".

CAUTION

Avoid driving with very little fuel in the tank. Running out of fuel may cause engine misfires and damage the catalytic converter.

Coolant Temperature Gauge

This gauge shows the engine coolant temperature when the ignition switch is in ON.

Stop driving if the engine overheats.

In this case, read "IF the engine overheats" in section 6.

CAUTION

If the gauge needle moves beyond the normal range, toward "H", this indicates overheating, which may damage the engine.

Trip Computer

The trip computer is a microcomputer-based information system that shows driving-related information on the display when the ignition switch is in ON.

All stored information (except the odometer) is reset if the battery is disconnected.
