Instantaneous Economy and Active Fuel
Management™ Indicator
Press the trip/fuel button until INST ECONOMY
displays. If your vehicle has the Active Fuel
Management™ feature, INST ECONOMY
8CYL MODE will display on vehicles with a
V8 engine or INST ECONOMY 6CYL MODE will
display on vehicles with a V6 engine. This display
shows the current fuel economy at a particular
moment and will change frequently as driving
conditions change. This display shows the
instantaneous fuel economy in miles per gallon

Unlike average economy, this screen cannot be
reset.

will display on the right side of the DIC, while INST
ECONOMY displays on the left side. Active Fuel
Management™ allows the engine to operate
on either all or half of its cylinders, depending on
your driving demands.
For vehicles with a V8 engine, when Active Fuel
Management™ is active, 4CYL MODE will display.
When Active Fuel Management™ is inactive,
8CYL MODE will display.
For vehicles with a V6 engine, when Active Fuel
Management™ is active, 3CYL MODE will display.
