audio, driving range can be displayed.

miles) that can be driven on the fuel remain-
ing in the fuel tank.NOTE

the driving range drops below 50 km
(30 miles), alarm sounds and the dis-
play shows a flashing. When this oc-
curs, top up the fuel tank as soon as
possible.
Even when an item other than the driv-

the display should be used only as a
guide; top up the fuel tank as soon as
possible.
