Similar
When the ignition is in ON/RUN the
tachometer indicates the vehicle
status:
When pointing to AUTO STOP, the
vehicle is on and can move, the
engine could AUTO START at any
time. When the indicator is OFF, the
vehicle is off. When the engine is
on, the tachometer will indicate
the engine's revolutions per
minute (rpm).
The tachometer may vary by several
hundred rpm's, during AUTO STOP
mode, when the engine is shutting
off and restarting. A slight bump
may be felt when the transmission is
determining the most fuel efficient
operating range.
Fuel Economy Gauge

English
This gauge is to assist in driving
efficiently and may vary during
normal operation.
The vehicle is being driven the most
efficient when the gauge is kept in
the middle.
The gauge moves to the left when
braking and to the right when
accelerating. When either are done
aggressively, the efficiency is
decreased.
