Driver Controls The sequence of the status check report is as follows: • washer fluid level • oil life in XX% • AC (cabin) filter XX% • engine temperature • brake fluid level • charging system • doors closed (driver and passenger side, front and rear). This message can only be reset by closing the door(s). If the RESET control is pressed, PLEASE CLOSE DOOR will be displayed. • trunk status • exterior lamps (front and rear turn, brake, tail and side repeater lamp (if equipped) status) • Traction Control or AdvanceTrac (if equipped) Message center functions Dist To Empty (DTE) Selecting this function from the FUEL control estimates approximately how far you can drive with the fuel remaining in your tank under normal driving conditions. Remember to turn the ignition OFF when refueling to allow this feature to correctly detect the added fuel. The DTE function will display LOW FUEL LEVEL and sound a tone for one second when you have approximately 50 miles (80 km) to empty. If you RESET this warning message, this display and tone will return within 10 minutes. DTE is calculated using a running average fuel economy, which is based on your recent driving history of 500 miles (800 km). This value is not the same as the average fuel economy display. The running average fuel economy is reinitialized to a factory default value if the battery is disconnected. 126 2006 Lincoln LS (dew) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
