Instruments and Controls

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.

AVG (Average) ECONOMY

Press the trip/fuel button until AVG
ECONOMY displays. This display
shows the approximate average
liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km)
or miles per gallon (mpg). This
number is calculated based on the
number of L/100 km (mpg) recorded
since the last time this menu item
was reset. To reset AVG
ECONOMY, press and hold
the set/reset button.

TIMER

Press the trip/fuel button until
TIMER displays. This display can be
used as a timer.

To start the timer, press the
set/reset button while TIMER is
displayed. The display will show the
amount of time that has passed
since the timer was last reset, not
including time the ignition is off.
Time will continue to be counted as
long as the ignition is on, even if
another display is being shown
on the DIC. The timer will record up
to 99 hours, 59 minutes and
59 seconds (99:59:59) after which
the display will return to zero.

To stop the timer, press the set/reset
button briefly while TIMER is
displayed.

To reset the timer to zero, press and
hold the set/reset button while
TIMER is displayed.

FUEL USED

Press the trip/fuel button until
FUEL USED displays. This display
shows the number of liters (L) or
gallons (gal) of fuel used since the
last reset of this menu item. To reset
the fuel used information, press and
hold the set/reset button while FUEL
USED is displayed.

AVG (Average) SPEED

Press the trip/fuel button until AVG
SPEED displays. This display
shows the average speed of the
vehicle in kilometers per hour (km/h)
or miles per hour (mph). This
average is calculated based on the
various vehicle speeds recorded
since the last reset of this value. To
reset the value to zero, press and
hold the set/reset button.
