Dashboard and Steering Wheel Controls Overview

The following controls are highlighted on the dashboard and steering wheel:

*See your Owner's Manual for information.

Essential Information

Loose Fuel Cap

A "LOOSE FUEL CAP" warning message will appear in the twin trip odometer display [01] when the fuel-filler cap is not tightened correctly.

To tighten, turn the cap clockwise until a single click is heard.

The warning message will disappear when the vehicle detects the fuel-filler cap is properly tightened and the reset button [02] is pressed.

If the cap is not properly tightened, the ⚠️ Malfunction Indicator Light may also illuminate.

For more information, refer to the "Instruments and controls (section 2)" and the "Pre-driving checks and adjustments (section 3)" of your Owner's Manual.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

A "CHECK... TIRE... PRES..." warning message [01] will appear as scrolling text in the twin trip odometer [02] and the ⚠️ Low Tire Pressure Warning Light [03] will illuminate when one or more tires are low on pressure and air is needed.

Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicle's operation and the outside temperature. Low outside temperature can lower the temperature of the air inside the tire, which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This may cause the low tire pressure warning light to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates in low ambient temperature, check the tire pressure in your tires.

The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Please refer to section 9, "Technical and consumer information", in your Owner's Manual for the location of the Tire and Loading Information label.

For more information, refer to the "Instruments and controls (section 2)", the "Starting and driving (section 5)" and the "Maintenance and do-it-yourself (section 8)" of your Owner's Manual.
