Instruments and controls/Meters and gauges
3-9
NOTE NOTE
Some of the meters and gauges on the
combination meter use liquid-crystal
displays. You will find their indications
hard to see if you wear polarized
glasses. To protect the engine/transmission
while the select lever is in the “P” or
“N” position (CVT models) or the shift
lever is in the neutral position (for MT
models), the engine is controlled so
that the engine speed may not become
too high even if the accelerator pedal is
pressed hard. & Speedometer & Odometer If you press the TRIP RESET switch
when the ignition switch is in the
“LOCK”/“OFF” or “ACC” position, the
odometer/trip meter will light up.
The indicators will turn off when:
. The TRIP RESET switch is not
operated for approximately 10 sec-
onds.
. The driver’s door is opened and
then closed.

to protect the engine from overrev-
ving. The engine will resume run-
ning normally after the engine speed
is reduced below the red zone.
