The RANGE display shows how far the computer thinks you can travel
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
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 when your vehicle is brand new (under 25
miles). It may also show LO if your battery has been disconnected.

Your Driver Information Center (DIC) display gives you the status of
many of your vehicle’s systems. The DIC is used to display driver
selectable information and warning/status messages.
If more than one problem is detected, the Driver Information Center will
automatically display all current messages.
