Fuel Range
A press of the RANGE switch allows you to display
approximately how many miles (kilometers) you can
drive before you run out of fuel.
To ensure accuracy, turn the ignition OFF when
you fill the fuel tank.
NOTE: RANGE is calculated using a “Running
Average Fuel Economy” initialized by the factory.
This value is not the same as the Average Fuel
Economy Display. The Running Average Fuel
Economy is based on more than 500 miles
(800 km) of driving history. Also, the factory
default for Running Average Fuel Economy is
reinitialized if the battery is disconnected.
If the “FUEL SENSOR SHORT or OPEN” message is
displayed, this means that there is a problem with
the fuel indication system or if any “DATA ERROR”
message is displayed you should contact your dealer
for service as soon as possible.
A second press of the FUEL RANGE control allows
you to display the Fuel Remaining. It will display
the approximate amount of fuel in the tank in
whole numbers (gallons or liters).
If your fuel tank is full or nearly full, the M/C will
display “FULL FUEL TANK” message. If your fuel
tank is empty or nearly empty, the M/C will
display the “EMPTY FUEL TANK” message.
