FORD 2003 Windstar v.2 - Manual (Page 73)

FUEL ECON AVG
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 RESET control after setting the speed
control to get accurate highway fuel economy readings.
DIST 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 1
second when you have low fuel level indicated on the fuel gauge.
TRIP ELAPSED DRIVE TIME
Select this function from the INFO menu to display your trip elapsed
drive time and will display and accumulate when the key is in the RUN
position.
1. Press the INFO control until the message center display shows the
TRIP ELAPSED TIME XXXX.
2. Hold the RESET control down for two seconds to clear display.
