Distance-to-empty

This displays the approximate distance
you can travel on the remaining fuel
based on the fuel economy.
The distance-to-empty will be
calculated and displayed every second.

NOTE

x

Even though the distance-to-empty
display may indicate a sufficient
amount of remaining driving distance
before refueling is required, refuel as
soon as possible if the fuel level is
very low or the low fuel warning light
illuminates.

x

The display will not change unless
you add more than approximately 9
L (2.3 US gal, 1.9 Imp gal) of fuel.

x

The distance-to-empty is the
approximate remaining distance the
vehicle can be driven until all the
graduation marks in the fuel gauge
indicating the remaining fuel supply
disappear.

x

If there is no past fuel economy
information such as after first
purchasing your vehicle or the
information is deleted when the
battery cables are disconnected, the
actual distance-to empty/range may
differ from the amount indicated.

▼

Average Fuel Economy

This mode displays the average fuel
economy by calculating the total

traveled distance and the total fuel
consumption since the vehicle was
purchased or the past data was reset.
The average fuel economy is calculated
and displayed every 30 seconds.
The average fuel economy is also
displayed by a red arrow in the
instantaneous fuel economy display.

The average fuel economy can be reset
by pressing the INFO switch for 1.5
seconds or more. After the data is
cleared, the fuel consumption is
recalculated and the - - - L/100 km
(- - - mpg) for the 30 seconds prior to

Manual Transmission

Shift Pattern

▼

Manual Transmission Shift Pattern

1. Neutral position

The shift pattern of the transmission is
conventional, as shown.

Depress the clutch pedal all the way
down while shifting; then release it
slowly.

Your vehicle is equipped with a device
to prevent shifting to R (reverse) by
mistake. Push the shift lever downward
and shift to R.

WARNING

Do not use sudden engine braking on
slippery road surfaces or at high
speeds:

Shifting down while driving on wet,
snowy, or frozen roads, or while
driving at high speeds causes sudden
engine braking, which is dangerous.
The sudden change in tire speed could
cause the tires to skid. This could lead
to loss of vehicle control and an
accident.

Always leave the shift lever in 1 or R
position and set the parking brake
when leaving the vehicle unattended:

Otherwise the vehicle could move and
cause an accident.

CAUTION

¾

Keep your foot off the clutch pedal
except when shifting gears. Also, do
not use the clutch to hold the vehicle
on an upgrade. Riding the clutch will
cause needless clutch wear and
damage.

¾

Do not apply any excessive lateral
force to the shift lever when
changing from 5th to 4th gear. This
could lead to the accidental
selection of 2nd gear, which could
result in damage to the transmission.

¾

Make sure the vehicle comes to a
complete stop before shifting to R.
Shifting to R while the vehicle is still
moving may damage the
transmission.

NOTE

x

If shifting to R is difficult, shift back
into neutral, release the clutch pedal,
and try again.
