Instruments and controls
The temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature when the ignition
switch is in the
“
ON
”
position.
The coolant temperature will vary in
accordance with the outside temperature
and driving conditions.
We recommend that you drive moderately
until the pointer of the temperature gauge
reaches near the middle of the range.
Engine operation is optimum with the
engine coolant at this temperature range,
and high revving operation when the
engine is not warmed up enough should
be avoided.
When the engine is not warmed up
sufficiently, the S# PREP indicator light
turns on. While this indicator light is on,
the SI-DRIVE mode cannot be changed to
the Sport Sharp (S#) mode. For details
about the SI-DRIVE mode, refer to the
“
section in chapter 7.
CAUTION
If the pointer exceeds the normal
operating range, safely stop the
vehicle as soon as possible.
Refer to
“
In case of emergency
”
in
chapter 9.
&
ECO gauge
The ECO gauge shows the difference
between the average rate of fuel con-
sumption and the current rate of fuel
consumption. Using the average rate of
fuel consumption since the trip meter was
last reset, if the current rate of fuel
consumption is higher than the average
rate of fuel consumption, the indicator
needle points to the
“
+
”
or right side (green
zone), and if the current rate of fuel
consumption is lower than the average
rate of fuel consumption, the indicator
needle points to the
“
−
”
or left side (yellow
zone). When the indicator needle is
pointing to the
“
+
”
or right side, it indicates
fuel-efficient driving.
NOTE
.
The ECO gauge shows only an
approximate indication.
.
After resetting the trip meter, the
average rate of fuel consumption is not
shown until driving 1 km (0.6 mile).
Until that time, the ECO gauge does not
operate.
