Driver Controls 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. Average Fuel Economy (AFE) Select this function from the INFO menu to display your average fuel economy in 100 miles/gallon or liters/100 km. If you calculate your average fuel economy by dividing gallons of fuel used by 100 miles traveled (kilometers traveled by liters 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 gallon (liter) 1. Drive the vehicle at least 5 miles (8 km) with the speed control system engaged to display a stabilized average. 2. Record the highway fuel economy for future reference. It is important to press the RESET control after setting the speed control to get accurate highway fuel economy readings. Trip elapsed drive time Select this function from the INFO menu to display your trip elapsed drive time. When selected the display will accumulate when the key is in the ON position. 1. Press the INFO control until the message center display shows the TRIP TIME XX:XX:XX. 2. Hold the RESET control down for two seconds to clear display. Display on/off Select this function from the INFO menu to turn the upper two lines of the message center display OFF or ON. 76 2006 Monterey (mty) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
