to protect the engine from overrev-
ving. The engine will resume run-
ning normally after the engine speed
is reduced below the red zone.
NOTE
To protect the engine while the select
lever is in the “P” or “N” position (for
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.
& Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge shows the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
When the ignition switch is in the “LOCK”/
“OFF” or “ACC” position, the fuel gauge
shows “E” even if the fuel tank contains
fuel.
The gauge may move slightly due to fuel
level movement in the tank (e.g., during
braking, turning or acceleration).
If you press the trip reset switch while the
ignition switch is in the “LOCK”/“OFF” or
“ACC” position, the fuel gauge’s dial will
light up and the needle will indicate the
amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
If, while the fuel gauge needle is indicating
the amount of fuel remaining in the tank,
you (a) do not press the trip reset switch
for 10 seconds or (b) open and close the
driver’s door, the fuel gauge needle will
drop to the “E” position and the dial and
needle 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.
