Instruments and controls
Pressing the trip knob toggles the indica-
tion between the average fuel consump-
tion corresponding to the A trip meter
indication and the average fuel consump-
tion corresponding to the B trip meter
indication.
When either of the trip meter indications is
reset, the corresponding average fuel
consumption value is also reset.

consumption indicator (if equipped)
The display of the average fuel consump-
tion indicator can be turned off.
To turn off the display of the indicator, turn
the ignition switch to the "LOCK" position
and press the "+" button adjacent to the
information display for approximately 5
seconds. Then, the information display
and the clock display will blink for 3
seconds to notify that the display of the
average fuel consumption has been
turned off.
To restore the indicator, once again press
the "+" button for approximately 5 sec-
onds.
NOTE
The indicated values vary in accor-
dance with changes in the vehicle's
running conditions. Also, the indicated
values may differ slightly from the
actual values and should thus be
treated only as a guide.
When either trip meter indication is
reset, the average fuel consumption
corresponding to that trip meter indica-
tion is not shown until the vehicle has
subsequently covered a distance of 1
mile (or 1 km).
The average fuel consumption is
calculated even while the indicator is
not displayed.
If the odometer is displayed on the
combination meter, the information dis-
play will indicate the average fuel
consumption corresponding to trip
meter A.
Even if you turn off the fuel con-
sumption indicator, the fuel consump-
tion indicator will automatically turn on
when the battery voltage is discon-
nected and then reconnected for bat-
tery replacement or fuse replacement.
