Gear position display

Indicates the current gear, and the range of gears

that is available when the shift lever is in the D posi-

tion. The gear range is shown by the number of dots

(

•

) and the current gear is shown as a number. The

transmission automatically selects the gears within

the driver selected gear range.

In the illustration to the left, a range of 8 available gears

(1 through 8) has been selected by the driver. (The shift

lever is in the D position with 8 ranges enabled) It is

possible for the transmission to automatically select

between all 8 of the gears. In this case, the transmission

has selected third gear.

When in the M position, the “F” mark is displayed.

■

Outside temperature display

In the following situations, the correct outside temperature may not be displayed, or

the display may take longer than normal to change.

●

When stopped, or driving at low speeds (less than 12 mph [20 km/h])

●

When the outside temperature has changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit of a

garage, tunnel, etc.)

CAUTION

■

The information display at low temperatures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal informa-

tion display. At extremely low temperatures, the information display monitor may

respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.

For example, there is a lag between the driver's downshifting and the new gear

number appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to downshift again,

causing rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an accident resulting in

death or serious injury.
