FUEL Button
The fuel button displays average fuel economy and
instantaneous fuel economy, calculated for your specific
driving conditions, and range information.
Average Fuel Economy: The average fuel economy
is viewed as a long-term approximation of your overall
driving conditions. You should reset the average fuel
economy display every time you refuel. If you press the
RESET button in this mode while you are driving, the
system will reset this display and begin figuring fuel
economy from that point in time.
Press the fuel button to display average fuel economy,
such as:
AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY 20.1 MPG or
AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY 11.7 L/100 km
Instantaneous Fuel Economy: Instantaneous fuel
economy reflects only the fuel economy that the vehicle
has right now and will change frequently as driving
conditions change. Unlike average fuel economy,
this menu item cannot be reset.
Press the fuel button again to display instantaneous fuel
economy, such as:
INSTANT FUEL ECONOMY 20.1 MPG or
INSTANT FUEL ECONOMY 11.7 L/100 km
Fuel Range: The range calculates the remaining
distance you can drive without refueling. It is based
on fuel economy and the fuel remaining in the tank.
Press the fuel button again to display the range,
such as:
RANGE30MIor
RANGE 48 km
If the LOW FUEL warning is displayed or if RANGE
is less than 40 miles (64 km), the display will read
RANGE LOW.
The fuel economy data used to determine fuel range is
an average of recent driving conditions. As your driving
conditions change, this data is gradually updated
automatically.
If the vehicle has been idling for a long time, the
range displayed on the DIC could be abnormally low.
The vehicle must be driven 5–10 miles (8–16 km) to get
an accurate reading.
