FUEL Button The fuel button displays average fuel economy and instantaneous fuel economy, calculated for your specific driving conditions, and range information. Average Fuel Economy: The average fuel economy is viewed as a long-term approximation of your overall driving conditions. You should reset the average fuel economy display every time you refuel. If you press the RESET button in this mode while you are driving, the system will reset this display and begin figuring fuel economy from that point in time. Press the fuel button to display average fuel economy, such as: Fuel Range: The range calculates the remaining distance you can drive without refueling. It is based on fuel economy and the fuel remaining in the tank. Press the fuel button again to display the range, such as: • RANGE 30 MI or • RANGE 48 km If the LOW FUEL warning is displayed or if RANGE is less than 40 miles (64 km), the display will read RANGE LOW. The fuel economy data used to determine fuel range is an average of recent driving conditions. As your driving conditions change, this data is gradually updated automatically. If the vehicle has been idling for a long time, the range displayed on the DIC could be abnormally low. The vehicle must be driven 5-10 miles (8-16 km) to get an accurate reading. • AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY 20.1 MPG or • AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY 11.7 L/100 km Instantaneous Fuel Economy: Instantaneous fuel economy reflects only the fuel economy that the vehicle has right now and will change frequently as driving conditions change. Unlike average fuel economy, this menu item cannot be reset. Press the fuel button again to display instantaneous fuel economy, such as: • INSTANT FUEL ECONOMY 20.1 MPG or • INSTANT FUEL ECONOMY 11.7 L/100 km 3-52
