Trip/Fuel Display Menu Items

3

(Trip/Fuel): The following display menu items

can be displayed by pressing the trip/fuel button:

TRIP A or TRIP B

These displays show the current distance traveled since
the last reset for each trip odometer in either miles (mi)
or kilometers (km). Both odometers can be used at the
same time. Each trip odometer can be reset to zero
separately by pressing and holding the set/reset button
for a few seconds while the desired trip odometer is
displayed.

FUEL RANGE

This display shows the approximate number of remaining
miles (mi) or kilometers (km) you can drive without
refilling the fuel tank. This estimate is based on the
current driving conditions and will change if the driving
conditions change. For example, if you are driving in
traffic and making frequent stops, the display may read
one number, but if you enter the freeway, the number
may change even though you still have the same amount
of fuel in the fuel tank. This is because different driving
conditions produce different fuel economies. Generally,
freeway driving produces better fuel economy than city
driving.

Once the range drops below about 30 miles (48 km)
remaining, the display will show FUEL RANGE LOW.

If your vehicle is low on fuel, the FUEL LEVEL
LOW message will be displayed. See “FUEL LEVEL
LOW” under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-53
for more information.

AVERAGE ECONOMY (AFE)

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, press the
set/reset button. The display will return to zero.

INST (Instantaneous) ECONOMY (IFE)

This display shows the current fuel economy in
either miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers
(L/100 km). This number reflects only the fuel economy
that the vehicle has right now and will change frequently
as driving conditions change. Unlike average economy,
this display cannot be reset.

FUEL USED

This display shows the number of gallons (gal) or
liters (L) of fuel used since the last reset of this display.
To reset this display, press the set/reset button.
The display will return to zero.
