When Driving

Instrument Cluster and Display

   NOTE

  When the ignition is switched to ACC or 
off, the odometer or trip meters cannot be 
displayed, however, pressing the selector 
can inadvertently switch the trip meters or 
reset them during an approximate ten-
minute period in the following cases:

y

  After the ignition is switched to off from 

ON.

y

  After the driver's door is opened.

  Odometer

    The odometer records the total distance 
the vehicle has been driven.

  Trip  meter

    The trip meter can record the total distance 
of two trips. One is recorded in trip meter 
A, and the other is recorded in trip meter 
B.

  For instance, trip meter A can record the 
distance from the point of origin, and 
trip meter B can record the distance from 
where the fuel tank is fi lled.

  When trip meter A is selected, pressing 
the selector again within one second will 
change to trip meter B mode.

  When trip meter A is selected, TRIP A 
will be displayed. When trip meter B is 
selected, TRIP B will be displayed.

  The trip meter records the total distance 
the vehicle is driven until the meter 
is again reset. Return it to “0.0” by 
depressing and holding the selector for 
one second or more. Use this meter to 
measure trip distances and to compute fuel 
consumption.

   NOTE

y

(Vehicles with type B audio)

  If the fuel economy data is reset using 

the fuel economy monitor, or trip A 
is reset using the trip meter when the 
function which synchronizes the fuel 
economy monitor and the trip meter is 
on, the fuel economy data and trip A are 
reset simultaneously.

  Refer to Fuel Economy Monitor on page 

 4-85 .

  Only the trip meters record tenths of 

kilometers (miles).

  The trip record will be erased when:

y

  The power supply is interrupted 

(blown fuse or the battery is 
disconnected).

  The vehicle is driven over 9999.9 km 

(mile).
