HONDA Insight - Manual (Page 41)

41
When the speedometer is set to mph, odometer / trip meter distances are displayed in miles, and fuel
efficiency is displayed in miles per gallon. When the speedometer is set to km/h, odometer / trip meter
distances are displayed in kilometers, and fuel efficiency is displayed in liters per 100km.
Both the instantaneous bar graph and the average fuel efficiency number can be turned off at the
driver's discretion. To turn off the bar graph, press and hold the FCD button until the bar & legend
disappear. To also turn off the numerical average, press and hold the FCD button again, until that
disappears.
Engine Status Meter
The right circle on the dashboard shows information on the gasoline engine status, including gasoline
engine warning lights, coolant temperature, tachometer and idle stop indicator:
When the Insight goes into Auto Idle Stop mode, a green "Auto Stop" LED at the base of
the tachometer illuminates to indicate that the engine is not moving at all, but to remind the
driver that the car is still in the "on" mode.
If the engine cannot be restarted because the clutch is not entirely depressed, the Auto Stop LED will
blink. The LED will also blink and a buzzer will sound if the driver's door is opened when the car is in
Auto Stop mode, so that the driver cannot easily mistake this condition for key OFF and leave the car.
Speedometer
The speedometer reads the current speed in either kilometers per hour or miles per hour. Speed is
displayed both when the car is moving forward and backwards. Speed as slow as 1 mph / 1 km/h will
register on the speedometer.
