Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge; When Driving; Instrument Cluster and Display- Page 129

NOTE

•

(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
4-68.

•

Only the trip meters record tenths of
kilometers (miles).

•

The trip record will be erased when:

•

The power supply is interrupted
(blown fuse or the battery is
disconnected).

•

The vehicle is driven over 9999.9 km
(mile).

▼

Tachometer

The tachometer shows engine speed in
thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm).

CAUTION

Do not run the engine with the tachometer
needle in the RED ZONE.
This may cause severe engine damage.
 

Striped zone

Red zone

NOTE

When the tachometer needle enters the
STRIPED ZONE, this indicates to the
driver that the gears should be shifted
before entering the RED ZONE.

▼

Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
(Without Multi-information
Display)

Indicates engine coolant temperature.

CAUTION

If the high engine coolant temperature
warning light (red) turns on, there is a
possibility of overheating. Park the vehicle
in a safe place immediately and take
appropriate measures. If the vehicle
continues to be driven, it could cause
damage to the engine.
Refer to Overheating on page 7-27.

NOTE

•

The temperature unit (Centigrade/
Fahrenheit) of the engine coolant gauge
display changes in conjunction with the
temperature unit of the outside
temperature display.
Refer to Personalization Features on
page 9-9.

•

During normal driving, the engine
coolant temperature stabilizes at 100 °C
(210 °F) or less, and the gauge indicates
a range lower than 100 °C (210 °F).
