.(Fuel):Press this button to access the Average
Fuel Economy, Instantaneous Fuel Economy and Fuel
Range modes.
AVG ECONOMY (Average Fuel Economy):This
screen will display the approximate average miles per
gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km).
This number is calculated based on the number of mpg
(L/100 km) recorded since the last time this menu
item was reset.
To view the average fuel economy for the vehicle follow
this procedure:
1. Press the set/reset button to reset to zero.
2. Press the fuel button again to advance to the next
screen.
INST ECONOMY (Instantaneous Fuel Economy):
This screen displays the current fuel economy at
a particular moment and will change frequently as
driving conditions change. Unlike average fuel economy,
this screen cannot be reset.
Press the fuel button again to advance to the next screen.RANGE:This screen displays the approximate number
of remaining miles or kilometers you can drive without
refueling. This estimate is based on the average fuel
economy for the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank
and the current driving conditions. This estimate will
change if driving conditions change. For example, if you
are driving in traffic and making frequent stops, the
display may read one number, but if you enter the
freeway, the number may change even though the same
amount of fuel is in the fuel tank. This is because different
driving conditions produce different fuel economies.
Generally, freeway driving produces better fuel economy
than city driving.
If the fuel tank contains less than 2 gallons (7.6 L),
the LOW FUEL message will appear on the DIC screen.
Fill the fuel tank as soon as possible to avoid running
out of fuel.

DIC Warnings and Messages on
