Fuel gauge
Fuel gauge
1) Trip knob
The fuel gauge is displayed when the
ignition is in the
“
ON
”
position, and it
shows the approximate amount of fuel
remaining in the tank.
The gauge indication may change slightly
during braking, turning or acceleration due
to fuel level movement in the tank.
If you press the trip knob while the ignition
switch is in the
“
LOCK
”
/
“
OFF
”
or
“
ACC
”
position, the fuel gauge will light up and
indicate the amount of fuel remaining in
the tank. If, while the fuel gauge is
indicating the amount of fuel remaining in
the tank, you (a) do not press the trip knob
for 10 seconds or (b) open and close the
driver
’
s door, the fuel gauge indication will
turn off.
NOTE
You will see the
“ ”
sign in the fuel
gauge. This indicates that the fuel filler
door (lid) is located on the right side of
the vehicle.
&
ECO gauge (if equipped)
The ECO gauge shows the difference
between the current rate of fuel consump-
tion and the average rate of fuel consump-
tion since the trip meter was last reset.
If the needle of the gauge moves towards
the right side, this indicates better fuel
efficiency.
NOTE
.
The ECO gauge shows only an
approximate indication of fuel effi-
ciency.
.
After resetting the trip meter, the
average rate of fuel consumption is not
shown until driving 0.6 mile (1 km).
Before that time, the ECO gauge does
not operate.
