Distance To Empty (DTE)

Shows the estimated distance that can be traveled with the
fuel remaining in the tank. This estimated distance is deter-
mined by a weighted average of the instantaneous and
average fuel economy, according to the current fuel tank
level. DTE cannot be reset through the SELECT button.

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 “LOW FUEL” message. This display will continue
until the vehicle runs out of fuel. Adding a significant
amount of fuel to the vehicle will turn off the “LOW
FUEL” message and a new DTE value will display.

Miles Per Gallon (MPG)

This display shows the instantaneous MPG in bar graph
form while driving. This will monitor the gas mileage in
real-time as you drive and can be used to modify driving
habits in order to increase fuel economy.
