Remember to turn the ignition OFF when refueling your vehicle. Otherwise, the display will not show the addition of fuel for a few kilometers (miles). The DTE function will display LOW FUEL LEVEL and sound a tone for one second when you have 80 km (50 miles) to empty. This tone will sound every 10 minutes until you refuel. Fuel Econ Avg Select this function from the FUEL control to display your average fuel economy in liters/100 km or miles/gallon. If you calculate your average fuel economy by dividing liters of fuel used by 100 kilometers traveled (miles traveled by gallons used), your figure may be different than displayed for the following reasons: • your vehicle was not perfectly level during fill-up • differences in the automatic shut-off points on the fuel pumps at service stations • variations in top-off procedure from one fill-up to another • rounding of the displayed values to the nearest 0.1 liter (gallon) 91
