Gauges TACHOMETER SPEEDOMETER FUEL GAUGE Outside Temperature Indicator On 4-cylinder EX models with leather interior and all 6-cylinder EX models MAINTENANCE REQUIRED INDICATOR TEMPERATURE GAUGE This indicator displays the outside temperature in Fahrenheit (U.S. models) or Centigrade (Canadian models). To see the outside temperature, press and release the Select/Reset knob until the temperature is displayed. The temperature sensor is in the front bumper. Therefore, the temperature reading can be affected by heat reflection from the road surface, engine heat, and the exhaust from surrounding traffic. This can cause an incorrect temperature reading when your speed is under 19 mph (30 km/h). When you start your trip, the sensor is not fully acclimatized, therefore it may take several minutes until the proper temperature is displayed. ODOMETER/OUTSIDE TRIP METER U.S. model is shown. TEMPERATURE INDICATOR SELECT/RESET KNOB Odometer/Outside Temperature Indicator The odometer and the outside temperature indicator use the same display. To switch the display between the odometer and the outside temperature, press the Select/Reset knob. When you turn the ignition switch to ON (II), what you last selected is displayed. Odometer The odometer shows the total distance your vehicle has been driven. It measures miles in U.S. models and kilometers in Canadian models. It is illegal under U.S. federal law and Canadian provincial regulations to disconnect, reset, or alter the odometer with the intent to change the number of miles or kilometers indicated. 68 Instruments and Controls
