Trip Meter

This meter shows the number of
kilometers or miles driven since you
last reset it.
There are two trip meters: Trip A
and Trip B. Switch between these
displays and the odometer/outside
temperature display by pressing the
Select/Reset knob repeatedly. Each
trip meter works independently, so
you can keep track of two different
distances.
When you turn the ignition switch to
ON (II), what you last selected is
displayed.
To reset a trip meter, display it, and
then press and hold the Select/Reset
knob until the number resets to ''0.0''.

Temperature Gauge

This shows the temperature of the
engine's coolant. During normal
operation, the pointer should rise
from the bottom mark to about the
middle of the gauge. In severe
driving conditions, such as very hot
weather or a long period of uphill
driving, the pointer may rise into the
upper half of the gauge. If it reaches
the red (Hot) mark (slant line area
on some types), pull safely to the
side of the road. Turn to page
petrol models and page 476 on diesel
models for instructions and
precautions on checking the engine's
cooling system.

Fuel Gauge

This shows how much fuel you have.
It is most accurate when the car is on
level ground. It may show slightly
more or less than the actual amount
when you are driving on curvy or
hilly roads.
The needle returns to the bottom
after you turn off the ignition. The
gauge shows the fuel level reading
immediately after you turn the
ignition switch back to ON (II).
On Petrol models only
Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire,
474 on damaging the catalytic converter.
On Diesel models only
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp will
come on or the Glow Plugs Indicator
will blink when you restart the
engine after your vehicle has run out
of fuel.
