1.

Procedure

Perform the steps described in (1) through (4) within 10 seconds.
There are two methods. Follow either of the methods.

Method with lighting switch

(1)	Within 3 seconds after turning the ignition switch to ON, set the tail (small) light switch or the headlight switch to ON.
(2)	While the switch is in ON, press the trip reset switch three times.
(3)	Turn the tail (small) light switch or the headlight switch to OFF, and press the trip reset switch three times.
(4)	Turn the tail (small) light switch or the headlight switch to ON, and press the trip reset switch three times.

Method with seat belt

(1)	Unfasten → fasten the driver’s seat belt within 3 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to ON.
(2)	With the driver’s seat belt fastened, press the trip reset switch three times.
(3)	Unfasten the driver’s seat belt, and then press the trip reset switch three times.

(Display changes in the following order: cruising distance → average fuel economy → instantaneous fuel economy → continuous driving time → average vehicle speed → blank display)

Is fuel economy displayed?

MFD is normal.
