Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or

serious injury.

●

When using the LATCH anchors, be

sure that there are no foreign objects

around the anchors and that the seat

belt is not caught behind the child

restraint system.

●

Follow all installation instructions pro-

vided by the child restraint system

affecting seat belt effectiveness. Be

sure your seat belt fits snugly across

your shoulder and low on your hips. If it

does not, or if it interferes with the

child restraint, move to a different posi-

tion. Failure to do so may result in

death or serious injury.

Important! Read this information about
exposure to radio frequency signals
before using Safety Connect;
The Safety Connect system installed in
your vehicle is a low-power radio trans-
mitter and receiver. It receives and also
sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Commu-
nications Commission (FCC) adopted
RF exposure guidelines with safety lev-
els for mobile wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with the
safety standards previously set by the
following U.S. and international stan-
dards bodies.

WARNING

■

The information display at low tem-

peratures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm

up before using the liquid crystal infor-

mation display. At extremely low tem-

peratures, the information display

monitor may respond slowly, and display

changes may be delayed.

For example, there is a lag between the

driver’s shifting and the new gear number

appearing on the display. This lag could

cause the driver to downshift again,

causing rapid and excessive engine brak-

ing and possibly an accident resulting in

death or injury.

NOTICE

■

To prevent damage to the engine and

its components

●

Do not let the indicator needle of the

tachometer enter the red zone, which

indicates the maximum engine speed.

●

The engine may be overheating if the

engine coolant temperature gauge is

in the red zone (H). In this case, imme-

diately stop the vehicle in a safe place,

and check the engine after it has

cooled completely. (

mately 1 second.

■

Outside temperature display

●

In the following situations, the correct

outside temperature may not be dis-

played, or the display may take longer

than normal to change:

• When stopped, or driving at low speeds

(less than 12 mph [20 km/h])

Display items



Odometer

Displays the total distance the vehicle has
been driven.



Trip meter A/trip meter B

Displays the distance the vehicle has been
driven since the meter was last reset. Trip
meters A and B can be used to record and
display different distances independently.



Distance until next engine oil
change

Displays the distance the vehicle can be
driven until an oil change is necessary.

■

Changing the display

Each time the “ODO TRIP” switch is
pressed, the displayed item will be
changed. When the trip meter is dis-
played, pressing and holding the switch
will reset the trip meter.

■

Pop-up display

The distance until the next engine oil
change will displayed when a warning
message indicating that oil mainte-
nance should be performed soon or is
required is displayed.

The brightness of the instrument panel
lights can be adjusted.

WARNING

■

The information display at low tem-

peratures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm

up before using the liquid crystal infor-

mation display. At extremely low tem-

peratures, the information display

monitor may respond slowly, and display

changes may be delayed.

For example, there is a lag between the

driver’s shifting and the new gear number

appearing on the display. This lag could

cause the driver to downshift again,

causing rapid and excessive engine brak-

ing and possibly an accident resulting in

death or injury.

NOTICE

■

To prevent damage to the engine and

its components

●

Do not let the indicator needle of the

tachometer enter the red zone, which

indicates the maximum engine speed.

●

The engine may be overheating if the

engine coolant temperature gauge is

in the red zone (H). In this case, imme-

diately stop the vehicle in a safe place,

and check the engine after it has

cooled completely. (

As the engine needs to be running

during setting up the display, ensure that

the vehicle is parked in a place with ade-

quate ventilation. In a closed area such as

a garage, exhaust gases including harm-

ful carbon monoxide (CO) may collect

and enter the vehicle. This may lead to

death or a serious health hazard.
