Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Turn Signal and Lane Change Indicator
A green arrow on the
instrument panel
will
flash in the direction of
the turn or lane
change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever until the green arrow
starts to flash. Hold it there until you complete your lane change. The
lever
will return by itself when you release it.
If for some reason, your turn signal is left on; the Driver Information

"TURN SIGNAL ON" (after driving about a mile) to
remind you to turn it
off.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows don't flash but just
stay
on, a signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers won't see your ~
turn signal.

Your Fuel Data Panel tells you all you want to know about your fuel
economy and how far you can travel with the fuel remaining. Here’s how
it works.
AVG Button: Push this button to display the “AVG MPG (average mile
per gallon). You can also display it
in metric units by pressing the “ENG
MET”
button.
When
“AVG MPG” (average mile per gallon) is selected, the total
distance is divided
by the total fuel used.
INST Button: When “INST MPG(1nstantaneous Fuel Economy) is
selected,
you will see what your fuel economy is at that instant. The
computer takes a new reading twice every second. It will show economy
up to
70 miles per gallon (or 2 liters per 100 Kilometers).
AVG MPG Reset: Press the INFORMATION button until the “AVG
MPG is displayed on the Driver Information Center. Press and hold the
RESET button until both the Fuel Data Center and Driver Information
Center display reads
0.0. Another method to reset the “AVG MPG is to
press the
AVG button on the Fuel Data Panel.
RANGE-Display: This display shows how far the computer thinks you can
go with the fuel that
is in your tank. The computer does not know what
driving conditions will be like
for the rest of your trip, so the range is
estimated based on your recent fuel economy. Therefore, your range
139

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine reading may change as your driving habits change (going from city to
highway driving may increase the range reading).
If the range display shows
“Lo”, you should stop for fuel as soon as
possible.
Your computer needs enough data for
the “RANGE” reading to work,
however,
so it will read “Lo” for a while when your vehicle is brand new
(under
25 miles). Also, it may show “Lo” for a while if your battery has
been disconnected.
