GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS (1) Instantaneous fuel consumption ("MPG" or "L/100km") The instantaneous fuel consumption is calculated and displayed based on distance and fuel consumption for 2 seconds with the engine running. The displayed value is updated every 2 seconds. Note that an accurate figure may not be shown in the following cases. D When the vehicle is stopped with the engine running, the display will indicate the extremely high fuel consumption. D When the vehicle is driving down a long slope, applying the engine brake, the display will indicate the extremely low fuel consumption. The calculation is reset when the ignition switch is turned off. (3) Driving range ("RANGE MI" or "RANGE km") The distance the vehicle can travel with the remaining fuel is calculated and displayed based on the quantity of remaining fuel and past fuel consumption. The driving range display indicates the approximate distance that you can drive until the fuel gauge reaches "E". It is different from the actual distance traveled. The displayed value is updated every time the fuel equivalent for 1 mile or 1 km is consumed. Every time you refuel the vehicle, the calculation is reset. The actual driving range varies with driving habits and road conditions. If fuel consumption is good, the driving range will be longer. If fuel consumption is poor, the driving range will be shorter. If the low fuel level warning light comes on, refuel even if the display indicates that the vehicle can be driven further. (2) Average fuel consumption ("AVG. MPG" or "AVG. L/100 km") Average fuel consumption is calculated and displayed based on total driving distance and total fuel consumption with the engine running. The displayed value is updated every 10 seconds. To reset the calculations, push the "RESET" button. (4) Average vehicle speed ("AVG. MPH" or "AVG. km/h") Average vehicle speed is calculated and displayed based on total driving distance and total driving time with the engine running. The displayed value is updated every 10 seconds. To reset the calculations, push the "RESET" button. 58

GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS
58
(1)
Instantaneous fuel consumption
(°MPG± or °L/100km±)
The instantaneous fuel consumption is calculated and
displayed based on distance and fuel consumption for 2
seconds with the engine running.
The displayed value is updated every 2 seconds.
Note that an accurate figure may not be shown in the following
cases.
D
When the vehicle is stopped with the engine running, the
display will indicate the extremely high fuel consumption.
D
When the vehicle is driving down a long slope, applying the
engine brake, the display will indicate the extremely low fuel
consumption.
The calculation is reset when the ignition switch is turned off.
(2)
Average fuel consumption
(°AVG. MPG± or °AVG. L/100 km±)
Average fuel consumption is calculated and displayed
based on total driving distance and total fuel consumption
with the engine running.
The displayed value is updated every 10 seconds.
To reset the calculations, push the °RESET± button.
(3)
Driving range
(°RANGE MI± or °RANGE km±)
The distance the vehicle can travel with the remaining fuel
is calculated and displayed based on the quantity of
remaining fuel and past fuel consumption.
The driving range display indicates the approximate distance
that you can drive until the fuel gauge reaches °E±.
It is different
from the actual distance traveled.
The displayed value is updated every time the fuel equivalent
for 1 mile or 1 km is consumed.
Every time you refuel the vehicle, the calculation is reset.
The actual driving range varies with driving habits and road
conditions.
If fuel consumption is good, the driving range will
be longer.
If fuel consumption is poor, the driving range will be
shorter.
If the low fuel level warning light comes on, refuel even if the
display indicates that the vehicle can be driven further.
(4)
Average vehicle speed
(°AVG. MPH± or °AVG. km/h±)
Average vehicle speed is calculated and displayed based
on total driving distance and total driving time with the
engine running.
The displayed value is updated every 10 seconds.
To reset the calculations, push the °RESET± button.
