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

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

RESET button until both the Fuel Data

estimated based on your recent
fuel economy. Therefore, your range
