Switches for the trip computer are located on the side of the combination meter panel. To operate the trip computer, push the side of the switches as shown above.

￿A : Trip computer mode switch

￿B : Trip computer setting switch

When the ignition switch is turned to ON, modes of the trip computer can be selected by pushing the trip computer mode switch ￿A .

Each time the mode switch ￿A is pushed, the display will change as follows:

Speed indicator Outside air temperature (ICY) Distance to empty (dte) Average fuel

consumption and speed Elapsed time and trip odometer Stopwatch Tire pressure indicator (PSI) Up-shift indicator setting (for M/T models) Speed indicator

Speed indicator (mph or km/h)

The vehicle speed is displayed in MPH or km/h while driving.

The speed indicator in the trip computer indicates the reference speed. The actual speed indicated by the speedometer (com- bination meter) may differ from the one in the trip computer.

Outside air temperature (ICY — °F or °C)

The outside air temperature is displayed in °F or °C in the range of −22 to 131°F (−30 to 55°C).

The outside air temperature mode includes a low temperature warning feature: below 37°F (3°C), the outside air temperature mode is automati- cally selected and the ICY indicator will illumi- nate in order to draw the driver’s attention. Push the mode switch ￿A if you wish to return to the mode that was selected before the warning occurred. The ICY indicator will continue blink- ing as long as the temperature remains below 39°F (4°C).

The ambient temperature sensor is located in

front of the radiator. The sensor may be affected by road or engine heat, wind directions and other driving conditions. The display may differ from the actual ambient temperature or the temperature displayed on various signs or bill- boards.

Distance to empty (dte — mls or km)

The distance to empty (dte) mode provides you with an estimation of the distance that can be driven before refueling. The dte is constantly being calculated, based on the amount of fuel in the fuel tank and the actual fuel consumption.

The display is updated every 30 seconds.

The dte mode includes a low range warning feature: when the fuel level is low, the dte mode is automatically selected and the digits blink in order to draw the driver’s attention. Press the mode switch ￿A if you wish to return to the mode that was selected before the warning occurred. The dte indicator will remain blinking until the vehicle is refuelled.

When the fuel level drops even lower, the dte display will change to (----).

NOTE:

￿If the amount of fuel added while the ignition switch is OFF is small, the dis- play just before the ignition switch is
