Vehicle Information Menu
Item Descriptions
The following paragraphs contain a more detailed
description of each menu item:
BLANK LINE/Blank Display:If you select this item,
nothing is displayed at the top of the screen.
OUTSIDE TEMP/Outside Air Temperature:If you
select this item, the current outside temperature
is displayed at the top of the screen. It will be in either
degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius depending
upon whether the system is set for English or metric
units. If you wish to change the units on the Base audio
system, seeDIC Main Menu on page 3-66.Ifyou
have the optional Navigation System and wish to change
the units, see “Setup Menu” in the Index of the CTS
Entertainment and Navigation System owner’s manual.
MI TRIP A and B/Trip Odometer A and B:For
information on the trip odometers, see “Trip Odometers”
underSpeedometer and Odometer on page 3-40.
MPG AVG/Average Fuel Economy:If you select this
item, the approximate average miles per gallon (mpg) or
liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km) is displayed.
This number is calculated based on the number of
mpg (L/100 km) recorded since the last time this menu
item was reset.
3-63

To reset the MPG AVG using the Base audio system,
press the CLR button located to the right of the screen.
The display will return to zero.
To reset the Average Fuel Economy using the Navigation
system, press and hold the multifunction button that
corresponds to the Reset prompt in the upper right of the
display. The display will return to zero.
MPG INST/Instantaneous Fuel Economy:If you
select this item, the current fuel economy is displayed.
This number reects only the fuel economy that the
vehicle has right now and will change frequently
as driving conditions change. Unlike average fuel
economy, this menu item cannot be reset.
GAL FUEL USED/Fuel Used:If you select this item,
the number of gallons or liters of fuel used since the last
reset of this menu item is displayed.
To reset GAL FUEL USED using the Base audio
system, press the CLR button located to the right of the
screen. The display will return to zero.
To reset Fuel Used using the Navigation system, press
and hold the multifunction button that corresponds to
the Reset prompt in the upper right of the display.
The display will return to zero.MILES RANGE/Fuel Range:If you select this item, the
approximate number of remaining miles or kilometers
you can drive without refueling is displayed. This
estimate is based on the current driving conditions and
will change if the driving conditions change. For
example, if you are driving in traffic making frequent
stops, the display may read one number, but if you enter
the freeway, the number may change even though
you still have the same amount of gas in the gas tank.
This is because different driving conditions produce
different fuel economies. Generally, freeway driving
produces better fuel economy than city driving.
If your vehicle is low on fuel, the Low Fuel Level
message will be displayed. See “Low Fuel Level
Message” underDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 3-70for more information.
AVG MPH/Average Vehicle Speed:If you select this
item, the average speed of the vehicle is displayed in
miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h).
This average is calculated based on the various vehicle
speeds recorded since the last reset of this menu item.
To reset AVG MPH using the Base audio system, press
the CLR button located to the right of the screen.
The display will return to zero.

To reset the Average Vehicle Speed using the Navigation
system, press and hold the multifunction button that
corresponds to the Reset prompt in the upper right of the
display. The display will return to zero.
TIMER/Timer:If you select this item, a timing feature is
displayed. The timer functions like a stopwatch in that
you can record the time it takes to travel from one point
to another.
To use the timer, you must rst turn it on. To turn on the
timer using the Base audio system, press the CLR button
located to the right of the screen once. To turn on the
timer using the Navigation system, press the
multifunction button next to the On/Off menu item in the

the timer and then press and hold the CLR button. The
display will return to zero.
To reset the timer using the Navigation system press and
hold the multifunction button next to the Reset prompt in
the upper right of the display. The display will return
to zero.BATTERY VOLTS/Battery Voltage:If you select this
item, the current battery voltage is displayed. If the
voltage is in the normal range, the display will have OK
after it. For example, the display may read 13.2 Battery
Volts OK.
If there is a problem with the battery charging system,
there are four possible DIC messages that may be
displayed. SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 3-70for more information.
ENGINE OIL LIFE/Engine Oil Life:If you select this
item, the percentage of remaining oil life is displayed.
If you see 99% Oil Life on the display, that means
that 99% of the current oil life remains.

message will appear on the display. SeeEngine Oil on
page 5-18andScheduled Maintenance on page 6-4
for more information.
When you reset the Change Engine Oil message by

uid life remains.
When the transmission uid life is depleted, the Change
Transmission Fluid message will appear on the
display. You should change the transmission uid as
soon as possible within 200 miles. Be sure to keep
a written record of the mileage and date of the uid
change so you will have it for future reference.
