BEFORE DRIVING Instantaneous fuel consumption If you selected instantaneous fuel consumption the last time you drove the vehicle, the display does not show the bar graph when the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position. The display shows the bar graph only when the vehicle is moving. Average fuel consumption If you selected average fuel consumption the last time you drove the vehicle, the display shows the last value of average fuel consumption from previous driving when the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position. Unless you reset the value of average fuel consumption, the display indicates the value of average fuel consumption which includes average fuel consumption during previous driving. NOTE: When you reconnect the negative (-) terminal to the battery, the value of average fuel consumption will be shown after driving for a while. You can select when the value of average fuel consumption is reset from among the following three methods; • Reset after refuel: the value of average fuel consumption will be reset automatically by refueling. • Reset with trip A: the value of average fuel consumption will be reset automatically by resetting trip meter A. • Reset manually: the value of average fuel consumption will be reset by pushing and holding the MODE/ILL knob (2) when the display indicates the average fuel consumption. To change when the value of average fuel consumption is reset, refer to "Setting Mode" later in this section. NOTE: If you add only a small amount of fuel when you select "Reset after refuel", the average fuel consumption value may not be reset. Driving range If you selected driving range the last time you drove the vehicle, the display indicates "---" for a few seconds and then indicates the current driving range when the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position. The driving range shown in the display is the approximate distance you can drive until the fuel gauge indicates "E", based on current driving conditions. When the remaining fuel in fuel tank reaches a low level, the display "---" will appear. If the low fuel warning light comes on, fill the fuel tank immediately regardless of the value of driving range shown in the display. As the driving range after refueling is calculated based on the most recent driving condition, the value is different each time you refuel. NOTE: • If you refuel when the ignition switch is in the "ON" position, the driving range may not indicate the correct value. • When you reconnect the negative (-) terminal to the battery, the value of driving range will be shown after driving for a while. 2-69 79K21-03E
