Dist to empty (DTE) This function estimates approximately how far you can drive with the fuel remaining in your tank under normal driving conditions. Remember to turn the ignition OFF when refueling to allow this feature to correctly detect the added fuel. The DTE function will flash for 5 seconds and sound a tone for 1 second when you have approximately: • 50 miles (80 km) left before you run out of fuel • 25 miles (40 km) • 10 miles (16 km) DTE is calculated using a running average fuel economy, which is based on your recent driving history of 500 miles (800 km). This value is not the same as the average fuel economy display. The running average fuel economy is reinitialized to a factory default value if the battery is disconnected. If "CO" or "CS" is displayed, there is a problem with the fuel indication system and you should contact your dealer for service as soon as possible. 141 2005 Town Car (tow) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA_English (fus)
