Finish GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS D Instantaneous fuel consumption mode D Driving range mode Instantaneous fuel consumption is calculated and displayed based on distance and fuel consumption for 2 seconds with the engine running. The displayed value is updated every 2 seconds. Note that an accurate figure may not be shown in the following cases. D When the vehicle is stopped with the engine running, the display will indicate extremely high fuel consumption. D When the vehicle is driving down a long slope, with the engine brake applied, the display will indicate extremely low fuel consumption.

The distance the vehicle can travel with the remaining fuel is calculated and displayed based on the quantity of remaining fuel and past fuel consumption. The driving range display indicates the approximate distance that you can drive until the fuel gauge reaches "E". It is different from the actual distance traveled. The displayed value is updated every time the fuel required to travel 0.6 miles (1 km) is consumed. Every time you refuel the vehicle, the calculation is reset. The actual driving range varies with driving habits and road conditions. If fuel consumption is good, the driving range will be longer. If fuel consumption is poor, the driving range will be shorter. If the low fuel level warning light comes on, refuel even if the display indicates that the vehicle can be driven further. 57
