Distance Travelled

This display shows the current
distance traveled in either
miles (mi) or kilometers (km) since
the last reset.

The measurement can be reset to
zero at any time and restarted.
See “Reset” later in this section.

Range

This display shows the approximate
number of remaining miles (mi)
or kilometers (km) the vehicle can
be driven without refueling.

The message “Range” displays if
less than 31 mi (50 km) can be
driven with the fuel remaining in
the tank. The message “Refuel!”
displays when approximately
19 mi (30 km) can be driven with
the fuel remaining in the tank.

With less than 19 mi (30 km)
worth of fuel remaining the range
display will show “- -” once the
“Refuel!” message has been
acknowledged.

See DIC Warnings and Messages
(Base and Uplevel Systems)
on
page 4-36
for information on
acknowledging the message.

The fuel range estimate is based on
an average of the vehicle’s fuel
economy over recent driving history
and the amount of fuel remaining
in the fuel tank. This estimate
will change if driving conditions
change. For example, if driving
in traffic and making frequent stops,
this display may read one number,
but if the vehicle is driven on a
freeway, the number may change
even though the same amount
of fuel is in the fuel tank.

This is because different driving
conditions produce different fuel
economies. Generally, freeway
driving produces better fuel
economy than city driving.
Fuel range cannot be reset.

Stop Watch

This display can be used as a timer.

To start or stop the timer, press
the right arrow on the audio system.

To reset the timer, press the left
arrow until the value returns to zero.

If your vehicle has the left
thumbwheel on the steering wheel,
you can start or stop the timer
by pressing the thumbwheel.
