Welcome illumination of the analog speedometer
■
When the driver' s door is opened, the analog speedometer will illuminate.
●
Then, when the driver' s door is closed, the analog speedometer will illuminate and go
off (pulsate) 3 times.
In the following situations, the analog speedometer will not pulsate even though the
●
driver' s door is opened and closed:
• Within 60 seconds after the analog meter pulsation completes
• Within 60 seconds of turning the engine switch off
Variable red zone
■
To help protect the engine, the engine speed is
controlled by changing the starting position of
the tachometer' s red zone depending on the
engine coolant temperature within a range from
3700 rpm to 7300 rpm.
Before driving under extremely high load condi-
tions, make sure to sufficiently warm up the
engine.
Eco driving meter
■
The number of blue segments displayed on the eco driving meter decreases/increases
●
depending on the vehicle acceleration. Use this meter as a guideline when you wish to
drive in an eco-friendly manner that reduces fuel consumption.
However, on a downward grade where the vehicle can accelerate without the acceler-
ator pedal being depressed, the eco driving meter may not display the eco-driving
state correctly.
When the shift lever is moved to P, N or R, the segments will turn gray and the eco driv-
●
ing meter will not operate.
