202 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL This feature allows you to monitor when the MDS switches off the fuel on four of the eight cylinders and it can be used to modify driving habits in order to increase the time in which the fuel saver mode is active. • Distance To Empty (DTE) 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 the instantaneous and average fuel economy, according to the current fuel tank level. DTE cannot be reset through the FUNCTION 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 text display of ЉLOW FUEL.Љ 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 display. 8 Cylinder Operation - MDS Off
