Average Fuel Economy

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 reading before the reset.

Distance To Empty (DTE)

Shows the estimated distance that can be travelled with
the fuel remaining in the tank. This estimated distance is
determined by a weighted average of the instantaneous
and average fuel economy, according to the current fuel
tank level. This is not resettable.

NOTE:

Significant changes in driving style or vehicle

loading will greatly affect the actual drivable distance of
the vehicle, regardless of the DTE displayed value.

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

ЉLOW FUELЉ. 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 DTE value will be dis-
played, based on the current values in the DTE calcula-
tion and the current fuel tank level.

Elapsed Time

Shows the total elapsed time of travel since the last reset.
Elapsed time will increment when the ignition switch is
in the ON or START position.

Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)

Displays Tire Pressure status using a vehicle graphic, a
status message, and pressure values. Refer to “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in “Starting and Oper-
ating” for further information.
