• AVG. MPG – Shows the average fuel economy since

the last reset. When the fuel economy is reset, the
display will show dashes for two seconds. Then the
history information will be erased, and the averaging
will continue from the last fuel average reading before
the reset. (Example: If your EVIC displays 18 AVG.
MPG and the RESET button is pressed, the previous
averaging history will be erased and the display will
return to the 18 AVG. MPG, not to 0 AVG. MPG.) The
display may take several miles/kilometers for the
value to change, dependent upon driving habits.

• MI TO EMPTY (Distance to Empty) – Shows the

estimated distance that can be traveled with the fuel
remaining in the tank. This estimated distance is
determined by a weighted average of fuel economy,
according to the current fuel tank level. MI TO EMPTY
cannot be reset through the RESET button.

NOTE:

Significant changes in driving style or vehicle

loading will greatly affect the actual drivable distance of
the vehicle, regardless of the MI TO EMPTY displayed
value.

When the MI TO EMPTY value is less than 30 miles
(48 km) estimated driving distance, the MI TO EMPTY
display will change to a text display of

ЉLOW FUEL.Љ

This display will continue until the vehicle runs out of
fuel. Adding a significant amount of fuel to the vehicle
will turn off the

ЉLOW FUELЉ text and a new MI TO

EMPTY value will display.

System Status (EVIC Displays)
When the appropriate conditions exist, the EVIC displays
the following messages:

• TURN SIGNALS ON (with a continuous warning

chime)
