Instrumentation DTE/ECON • Press the DTE/ECON control DTE ECON once to display the approximately how far you can drive before running out of fuel, or the distance to empty (DTE). To ensure accuracy, turn the ignition OFF when you fill the tank. • Press the DTE/ECON control a second time to display the average fuel economy in liters/100 kilometers or miles/gallon, based on distance traveled and rate of fuel used information. • To reset this feature, press the RESET RESET control while average fuel economy is displayed (while you are driving).
