Gauges Instant Fuel Economy This shows your instant fuel economy in mpg (U.S.) or l/100 km (Canada). Average Fuel Economy This shows your vehicle's average fuel economy in mpg (U.S.) or 1/100 km (Canada) since you last reset the trip meter. When you reset a trip meter, the average fuel economiy for that trip meter also resets. Odometer The odometer shows the total distance your vehicle has been driven. It measures miles in U.S. models and kilometers in Canadian models. It is illegal under U.S. federal law and Canadian provincial/ territorial regulations to disconnect, reset, or alter the odometer with the intent to change the number of miles or kilometers indicated. Fuel Gauge This shows how much fuel you have. It may show slightly more or less than the actual amount. The needle returns to the bottom after you turn off the ignition. Check Fuel Cap Indicator If the fuel fill cap is loose or missing, a ''CHECK FUEL CAP'' message appears on the information display after you start the engine. The message changes from CHECK, to FUEL, to CAP repeatedly. Turn the engine off and confirm the fuel fill cap is installed. If it is, loosen the cap, then retighten it until it clicks at least once. You can cycle the message off of the display by pressing the select/reset knob repeatedly, but this message will be displayed each time the engine is started. It will take several days of normal driving for the vehicle to turn the warning off. Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, damaging the catalytic converter. 70
