Vehicle Information Menu Item
Descriptions
The following paragraphs contain a more detailed
description of each menu item:
OUTSIDE TEMP:If you select this item, the current
outside temperature is displayed at the top of the
screen. It will be in either degrees Fahrenheit (°F) or
degrees Celsius (°C) depending upon whether the
system is set for English or metric units. If you wish to
change the units, seeDIC Main Menu on page 3-55.
MI TRIP A and B (KM TRIP A and B):For information
on the trip odometers, seeTrip Odometers on
page 3-36.
MILES RANGE (KM 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.

message will be displayed. See “Fuel Level Low” under
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-59for more

approximate average miles per gallon (mpg) or liters
per 100 kilometers (L/100 km) is displayed. This number

future reference. SeeScheduled Maintenance on
page 6-4andRecommended Fluids and Lubricants on
page 6-12for more information.
When you reset the Change Trans Fluid message by
clearing it from the display, you still must reset the
transmission uid life monitor separately. For more
