2 seconds.
CAUTION
To ensure safety, do not attempt to
change the function of the indicator
during driving, as an accident could
result.
NOTE
If the connection between the combina-
tion meter and battery is broken for any
reason such as vehicle maintenance or
fuse replacement, the data recorded on
the trip meter will be lost.
& Tachometer
The tachometer shows the engine speed
in thousands of revolutions per minute.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine with the
pointer of the tachometer in the red
zone. In this range, fuel injection will
be cut by the engine control module
to protect the engine from overrev-
ving. The engine will resume run-
ning normally after the engine speed
is reduced below the red zone.
NOTE
To protect the engine while the select
lever is in the
“P” or “N” position (for
AT and CVT models) or the shift lever is
in the neutral position (for MT models),
the engine is controlled so that the
engine speed may not become too high
even if the accelerator pedal is pressed
hard.
& Fuel gauge
1)
Low fuel warning light
The fuel gauge shows the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
When the ignition switch is in the
“LOCK”
or
“Acc” position, the fuel gauge shows “E”
even if the fuel tank contains fuel.
