Instruments and controls / Meters and gauges
& Fuel gauge
Fuel gauge( type A) 1) Trip knob
Fuel gauge( type B) |
1) |
Trip knob( U. S.-spec. models) |
2) |
Trip knob( except U. S.-spec. models) |
The fuel gauge is displayed when the ignition is in the“ ON” position, and it shows the approximate amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
The gauge indication may change slightly during braking, turning or acceleration due to fuel level movement in the tank.
If you press the trip knob while the ignition switch is in the“ LOCK”/“ OFF” or“ ACC” position, the fuel gauge will light up and indicate the amount of fuel remaining in the tank. If, while the fuel gauge is indicating the amount of fuel remaining in the tank, you( a) do not press the trip knob for 10 seconds or( b) open and close the driver’ s door, the fuel gauge indication will turn off.
NOTE
You will see the“” sign in the fuel gauge. This indicates that the fuel filler door( lid) is located on the right side of the vehicle.
& ECO gauge( if equipped)
1) U. S.-spec. models 2) Except U. S.-spec. models
The ECO gauge shows the difference between the current rate of fuel consumption and the average rate of fuel consumption since the trip meter was last reset.
If the needle of the gauge moves towards the right side, this indicates better fuel efficiency.
NOTE
. The ECO gauge shows only an approximate indication of fuel efficiency.. After resetting the trip meter, the average rate of fuel consumption is not shown until driving 0.6 mile( 1 km).
