Trip Functions
Pressing the STEP button allows you to scroll through
one of the following Trip Function features:
TRIP – Shows the total distance traveled since the last
reset. To reset the TRIP function, press and hold the
RESET button.
ELAPSED TIME Shows the total elapsed time of
travel since the last reset. Elapsed time will increment
when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN or START
positions.
UNIT IN US/METRIC Press the RESET button to
toggle between US and METRIC.
AVG. MPG Shows the average fuel economy since
the last reset. When the fuel economy is reset, the
display will show dashes for two seconds. Then the
history information will be erased, and the averaging
will continue from the last fuel average reading before
the reset. (Example: If your EVIC displays 18 AVG.
MPG and the RESET button is pressed, the previous
averaging history will be erased and the display will
return to the 18 AVG. MPG, not to 0 AVG. MPG.) The
display may take several miles/kilometers for the
value to change, dependent upon driving habits.
MI TO EMPTY (Distance to Empty) Shows the
estimated distance that can be traveled with the fuel
remaining in the tank. This estimated distance is
determined by a weighted average of fuel economy,
according to the current fuel tank level. MI TO EMPTY
cannot be reset through the RESET button.
NOTE: Significant changes in driving style or vehicle
loading will greatly affect the actual drivable distance of
the vehicle, regardless of the DTE displayed value.
When the DTE value is less than 30 mi (48 km)
estimated driving distance, the DTE display will
change to a text display of ЉLOW FUEL.Љ This display
