Fuel Range
Press the fuel information button until RANGE appears
to display the remaining distance you can drive without
refueling. It's based on fuel economy and the fuel
remaining in the tank. The display will show LOW if the
fuel level is low.
The fuel economy data used to determine fuel range is
an average of recent driving conditions. As your driving
conditions change, this data is gradually updated. Fuel
range cannot be reset.
Average Fuel Economy
Press the fuel information button until AVG appears in the
display. Average fuel economy is how many miles per
gallon your vehicle is getting based on current and past
driving conditions.
Press and hold the select button while AVG.ECON is
displayed to reset the average fuel economy. Average
fuel economy will then be calculated starting from
that point. If the average fuel economy is not reset, it
will be continually updated each time you drive.

Engine Oil
If your vehicle has a diesel engine, see ªEngine Oilº in
the Diesel Engine Supplement.
If the CHECK OIL LEVEL light appears on the
instrument cluster, it means you need to check your
engine oil level right away.
For more information, see
Driver Information Center
(DIC) on page 3-54.
You should check your engine oil level regularly; this is
an added reminder.
Checking Engine Oil
It's a good idea to check your engine oil every time you
get fuel. In order to get an accurate reading, the oil
must be warm and the vehicle must be on level ground.The engine oil dipstick has
a yellow ring handle and is
located in the engine
compartment on the
passenger's side of the
vehicle. See
Engine
Compartment Overview on
page 5-10
for more
information on location.
Turn off the engine and give the oil several minutes to
drain back into the oil pan. If you don't, the oil
dipstick might not show the actual level.
Pull out the dipstick and clean it with a paper towel or
cloth, then push it back in all the way. Remove it again,
keeping the tip down, and check the level.
