■

Distance until the next engine oil
change will displayed when a warning

nance should be performed soon or is

lights can be adjusted.
WARNING
■ The information display at low tem-
peratures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm
up before using the liquid crystal infor-
mation display. At extremely low tem-
peratures, the information display
monitor may respond slowly, and display
changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the
driver’s shifting and the new gear number
appearing on the display. This lag could
cause the driver to downshift again,
causing rapid and excessive engine brak-
ing and possibly an accident resulting in
death or injury.
NOTICE
■ To prevent damage to the engine and
its components
● Do not let the indicator needle of the
tachometer enter the red zone, which
indicates the maximum engine speed.
● The engine may be overheating if the
engine coolant temperature gauge is
in the red zone (H). In this case, imme-
diately stop the vehicle in a safe place,
and check the engine after it has
cooled completely. (
