Main Menu Table Of Contents Multi-Information Display Trip Computer Along with the trip meter, the trip computer calculates these values: Instantaneous fuel mileage Range Elapsed Time Average Vehicle Speed Average Fuel Economy INST. MPG (U.S. models)/INST. L/100km (Canadian models) This shows your current fuel mileage. When you turn off the engine, INST. MPG or INST. L/100 km is also reset. RANGE This shows the estimated distance you can travel on the fuel remaining in the fuel tank. This distance is estimated from the fuel economy you received over the last several miles(U.S.) or kilometers (Canada), so it will vary with changes in speed, traffic, etc. When the battery is disconnected, or you refuel, RANGE is also reset. ELAPSED TIME This shows the time passed traveled since you last reset it. When you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position, ELAPSED TIME is reset. You can customize the ELAPSED TIME reset condition on the multiinformation display (see page 101 ). AVG. SPEED This shows the average speed you are traveling in miles per hour (mph) for U.S. models or kilometers per hour (km/h) for Canadian models. Instruments and Controls When you reset Trip A, AVG. SPEED is also reset. AVG. FUEL A/B This shows your vehicle's average fuel economy in mpg (U.S. models) or liter/100 km (Canadian models) since you last reset the Trip A or Trip B. You can customize the Trip A and AVG. FUEL A reset condition on the multi-information display (see page 99 ). The average fuel mileage will be reset when you reset the trip meter, or if the vehicle's battery goes dead or is disconnected. 2008 RL 75
