This feature prevents your vehicle from exceeding
speeds that the tires are not rated for. When this
happens, the engine’s
fuel supply is shut off. When the
vehicle speed
slows, the fuel supply will come on again. This gage

revolutions per minute (rprn). When the engine’s qrn are
critically high, the fuel supply to the engine is shut off. When
the engine speed slows, the fuel supply will come on again.

For vehicles equipped with an analog cluster (not shown),
fuel data can be obtained by pressing the INFO button.
See
“Analog Control Buttons” later in this section.
The
fuel data panel tells you all you need to know about
the fuel economy and how far you can travel with the
fuel remaining. Press
the
AVG button to display the average
mile-per-gallon
(AVG MPG). You can also display it in
metric units by pressing the
ENGMET button.
When AVG
MPG is selected, the total distance is
divided by the total fuel used.
When the
INST button (Instantaneous Fuel Economy) is
selected, you will see what the
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 L per 100 km).
To reset the average fuel economy, press the
INFORMATION button until the AVG MPG is
displayed on the DIC. Press and hold the RESET button
until both the fuel data center and
DIC display reads 0.0.
The RANGE display shows how far the computer thinks
you can travel with the fuel that is in the
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 the recent fuel economy. Therefore, the 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 MNGE reading to work.
