Distance to empty (DTE)

Selecting this function from the INFO menu estimates approximately
how far you can drive with the fuel remaining in your tank under normal
driving conditions. Remember to turn the ignition OFF when refueling to
allow this feature to correctly detect the added fuel.

Single mode display

Dual mode display

The DTE function will display LOW FUEL LEVEL and sound a tone for
one second when you have approximately 50 miles (80 km) to empty. If
you RESET this warning message, this display and tone will return
within 10 minutes.

DTE is calculated using a running average fuel economy, which is based
on your recent driving history of 500 miles (800 km). This value is not
the same as the average fuel economy display. The running average fuel
economy is reinitialized to a factory default value if the battery is
disconnected.

Average fuel economy (AFE)

Select this function from the INFO
menu to display your average fuel
economy in miles/gallon or liters/
100 km.

If you calculate your average fuel
economy by dividing miles traveled
by gallons of fuel used (liters of fuel used by 100 kilometers traveled),
your figure may be different than displayed for the following reasons:
• Your vehicle was not perfectly level during fill-up
• Differences in the automatic shut-off points on the fuel pumps at

service stations

• Variations in top-off procedure from one fill-up to another
• Rounding of the displayed values to the nearest gallon (0.1 liter)
