Average fuel economy (AFE)

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

If you calculate your average fuel
economy by dividing liters of fuel
used by 100 kilometers traveled (miles traveled by gallons used), 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 0.1 liter (gallon)
1. Drive the vehicle at least 8 km (5 miles) with the speed control
system engaged to display a stabilized average.

2. Record the highway fuel economy for future reference.

It is important to press the SET control after setting the speed control to
get accurate highway fuel economy readings.

Distance to empty (DTE)

Selecting this function from the
INFO menu will give you an
estimate of how far you can drive
with the fuel remaining in your tank
under normal driving conditions.
Remember to turn the ignition OFF
when refueling your vehicle. Otherwise, the display will not show the
addition of fuel for a few kilometers (miles).

The DTE function will display “LOW FUEL LEVEL” and sound a tone for
one second when you have low fuel level indicated on the fuel gauge.
