RANGE
Press and release the reset stem until RANGE is
displayed. The RANGE display will only be available
when the vehicle is not in PARK (P).
This display shows the approximate number of
remaining miles (mi) or kilometers (km) the vehicle
can be driven without refueling.
The fuel range estimate is based on an average of
the vehicle’s fuel economy over recent driving history
and the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.
This estimate will change if driving conditions change.
For example, if driving in traffic and making frequent
stops, this display may read one number, but if
the vehicle is driven on a freeway, the number may
change even though the same amount of fuel is in the
fuel tank. This is because different driving conditions
produce different fuel economies. Generally, freeway
driving produces better fuel economy than city driving.
If your vehicle is low on fuel, the FUEL LEVEL LOW
message displays. See “FUEL LEVEL LOW” under
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-50 for more
information.
INSTANT (Instantaneous) FUEL ECONOMY
Press and release the reset stem INSTANT FUEL
ECONOMY displays. The INSTANT FUEL ECONOMY
display will only be available when the vehicle is not

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 (mpg) or liters per
100 kilometers (L/100 km). This display cannot be reset.
AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY
Press and release the reset stem AVERAGE FUEL
ECONOMY displays. The AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY
display will only be available when the vehicle is not
in PARK (P).
This display shows the approximate average miles per
gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km).
This number is calculated based on the number of mpg
(L/100 km) recorded since the last time this display
was reset. To reset this display to zero, press and hold
the reset stem.
