Warning Lights, Gauges and
Indicators

This section describes the warning lights
and gauges that may be on your vehicle.
The pictures will help you locate them.

Warning lights and gauges can signal that
something is wrong before it becomes seri-
ous enough to cause an expensive repair
or replacement. Paying attention to your
warning lights and gauges could also save
you or others from injury.

Warning lights come on when there may
be or is a problem with one of your vehi-
cle’s functions. As you will see in the
details on the next few pages, some warn-
ing lights come on briefly when you start
the engine just to let you know they’re
working. If you are familiar with this sec-
tion, you should not be alarmed when this
happens.

Gauges can indicate when there may be or
is a problem with one of your vehicle’s
functions. Often gauges and warning lights
work together to let you know when there’s
a problem with your vehicle.

When one of the warning lights comes on
and stays on when you are driving, or
when one of the gauges shows there may
be a problem, check the gauge that tells
you what to do about it. Please follow this
manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs can
be costly – and even dangerous. So please

get to know your warning lights and
gauges. They’re a big help.

Instrument Panel Cluster

Your instrument panel cluster is designed
to let you know at a glance how your vehi-
cle is running. You’ll know how fast you’re
going, how much fuel you’re using and
many other things you’ll need to drive
safely and economically.

Your vehicle has this instrument panel
cluster, which includes indicator warning
lights and gauges that are explained on the
following pages.

Speedometer and Odometer

Your speedometer lets you see your speed
in both miles per hour (mph) and kilome-
ters per hour (km/h).

Your odometer shows how far your vehicle
has been driven, in miles.

Trip Odometer

The trip odometer can record the number
of kilometers or miles traveled for up to two
trips.

The trip odometer button is located in the
lower right area of the speedometer.

There are two independent trip odometers,
which measure the distances your vehicle
has traveled since you last reset this func-
tion.

You can switch the trip odometer display
between Trip A and Trip B by pressing the
trip odometer button.

To reset each trip meter to zero, press and
hold the trip odometer button until it resets.

CAUTION

Keep track of your odometer reading
and check the maintenance schedule
regularly for required services.
Increased wear or damage to certain
parts can result from failure to per-
form required services at the proper
mileage intervals.
