Once TIME ELAPSED :00 is displayed, press the set/reset button to start the timing feature. Press the set/reset button again to stop it. If you will be starting and stopping your vehicle, during a trip for instance, the TIME ELAPSED feature will automatically start timing where it left off when you last stopped. To reset it, press and hold the set/reset button for approximately 1.5 seconds. The display will return to zero. Average Speed Press the information button until AVERAGE SPEED displays. This mode shows the average speed of the vehicle in miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h). This average is calculated based on the various vehicle speed recorded since the last reset of this value. To reset the value, press the information button to display AVERAGE SPEED, then press and hold the set/reset button. The display will return to zero. Fuel range is based on several factors, including distance travelled, fuel used, fuel capacity, etc. This estimate will change if driving conditions change. For example, if driving in traffic and making frequent stops, this mode may read one number, but if the vehicle is driven on a freeway, the number may change even though the same amount of fuel is in the fuel tank. This is because different driving conditions produce different fuel economies. Generally, freeway driving produces better fuel economy than city driving. Fuel range cannot be reset. If your vehicle is low on fuel, FUEL RANGE LOW will display followed by the LOW FUEL message. See "LOW FUEL" under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-53 for more information. Average Fuel Economy Press the information button until AVG ECONOMY displays. This mode shows the approximate average miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km). 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 AVG ECONOMY, press and hold the set/reset button. The display will return to zero. Fuel Range Press the information button until FUEL RANGE displays. This mode shows the approximate number of remaining miles or kilometers the vehicle can be driven without refueling. 3-49

Once TIME ELAPSED :00 is displayed, press the

set/reset button to start the timing feature. Press the

set/reset button again to stop it. If you will be starting

and stopping your vehicle, during a trip for instance, the

TIME ELAPSED feature will automatically start timing

where it left off when you last stopped. To reset it, press

and hold the set/reset button for approximately

1.5 seconds. The display will return to zero.

Average Speed

Press the information button until AVERAGE SPEED

displays. This mode shows the average speed of the

vehicle in miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour

(km/h). This average is calculated based on the various

Fuel Range

Press the information button until FUEL RANGE

displays. This mode shows the approximate number of

estimate will change if driving conditions change.

For example, if driving in traffic and making frequent

stops, this mode may read one number, but if the vehicle

is driven on a freeway, the number may change even

though the same amount of fuel is in the fuel tank. This

is because different driving conditions produce

different fuel economies. Generally, freeway driving

produces better fuel economy than city driving.

Fuel range cannot be reset.

If your vehicle is low on fuel, FUEL RANGE LOW will

display followed by the LOW FUEL message. See “LOW

FUEL” under

DIC Warnings and Messages on

page 3-53

for more information.

Average Fuel Economy

Press the information button until AVG ECONOMY

displays. This mode shows the approximate average

miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers

(L/100 km). 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 AVG ECONOMY,

press and hold the set/reset button. The display

will return to zero.
