MI TRIP A and B: For information on the trip odometers, see Trip Odometers on page 3-37. MPG AVG: If you select this item, the approximate average miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km) is displayed. This number is calculated based on the number of mpg (L/100 km) recorded since the last time this menu item was reset. To reset the MPG AVG, press the CLR button located to the right of the screen. The display will return to zero. MPG INST: If you select this item, the current fuel economy is displayed. This number reflects only the fuel economy that the vehicle has right now and will change frequently as driving conditions change. Unlike average fuel economy, this menu item cannot be reset. GAL FUEL USED: If you select this item, the number of gallons or liters of fuel used since the last reset of this menu item is displayed. To reset GAL FUEL USED, press the CLR button located to the right of the screen. The display will return to zero. MILES RANGE: If you select this item, the approximate number of remaining miles or kilometers you can drive without refueling is displayed. This estimate is based on the current driving conditions and will change if the driving conditions change. 3-60 For example, if you are driving in traffic making frequent stops, the display may read one number, but if you enter the freeway, the number may change even though you still have the same amount of gas in the gas tank. This is because different driving conditions produce different fuel economies. Generally, freeway driving produces better fuel economy than city driving. If your vehicle is low on fuel, the Fuel Level Low message will be displayed. See "Fuel Level Low" under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-65 for more information. AVG MPH: If you select this item, the average speed of the vehicle is displayed in miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h). This average is calculated based on the various vehicle speeds recorded since the last reset of this menu item. To reset AVG MPH, press the CLR button located to the right of the screen. The display will return to zero. TIMER: If you select this item, a timing feature is displayed. The timer functions like a stopwatch in that you can record the time it takes to travel from one point to another. To use the timer, you must first turn it on. To turn on the timer, press the CLR button located to the right of the screen once. The display will read 00:00:00 TIMER ON and begin counting.
