UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 187 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. This is not resettable. 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 (48.3 km) estimated driving distance, the DTE display will change to a text display of LOW FUEL . 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 text and a new DTE value will be displayed, based on the current values in the DTE calculation and the current fuel tank level. Elapsed Time Shows the total elapsed time of travel since the last reset when the ignition switch is in the ACC position. Elapsed time will increment when the ignition switch is in the ON or START position. Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Refer to Section 5, "Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)" for system operation. Personal Settings (Customer-Programmable Features) This allows the driver to set and recall features when the transmission is in PARK (automatic transmission) or the vehicle is stopped (manual transmissions).
