Driver Controls Info menu This control displays the following control displays: • Odometer • Distance to Empty • Average Fuel Economy • Trip odometer • Trip Elapsed Drive Time • Outside air temperature (if equipped) • Compass (if equipped) Odometer/Trip odometer Refer to Gauges in the Instrument Cluster chapter. Distance to empty (DTE) Selecting this function from the INFO menu 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 display LOW FUEL LEVEL and sound a tone for one second when you have approximately 80 km (50 miles) to empty. If you RESET this warning message, this display and tone will return within 10 minutes. DTE is calculated using a running average fuel economy, which is based on your recent driving history of 800 km (500 miles). 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. 58 2004 Sable (sab) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA English (fus)
