144 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE Trip Functions Pressing the STEP button allows you to scroll through one of the following Trip Function features: • TRIP - Shows the total distance traveled since the last reset. To reset the TRIP function, press and hold the RESET button. • 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/RUN or START positions. • UNIT IN US/METRIC - Press the RESET button to toggle between US and METRIC. • AVG. MPG - 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 average reading before the reset. (Example: If your EVIC displays 18 AVG. MPG and the RESET button is pressed, the previous averaging history will be erased and the display will return to the 18 AVG. MPG, not to 0 AVG. MPG.) The display may take several miles/kilometers for the value to change, dependent upon driving habits. • MI TO EMPTY (Distance to Empty) - Shows the estimated distance that can be traveled with the fuel remaining in the tank. This estimated distance is determined by a weighted average of fuel economy, according to the current fuel tank level. MI TO EMPTY cannot be reset through the RESET 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 mi (48 km) estimated driving distance, the DTE display will change to a text display of ЉLOW FUEL.Љ This display
