Distance to empty (DTE)

remaining in your tank under
normal driving conditions.

to correctly detect the added fuel.
The DTE function will display LOW FUEL LEVEL and sound a tone for
one second when you have approximately 80 km (50 miles) to empty. If
you RESET this warning message, this display and tone will return
within 10 minutes.

economy is reinitialized to a factory default value if the battery is
disconnected.
