(6) Driving range(“Cruising Range miles” or “Cruising Range
km”)
The distance the vehicle can travel with the remaining fuel
is calculated and displayed based on the quantity of
remaining fuel and past fuel consumption.
The driving range display indicates the approximate distance
that you can drive until the fuel gauge reaches “E”. It is dif ferent
from the actual distance traveled.
The displayed value is updated every time the fuel equivalent
for 1 mile or 1 km is consumed.
The actual driving range varies with driving habits and road
conditions. If fuel consumption is good, the driving range will
be longer than indica ted. If fuel consumption is poor, the
driving range will be shorter than indicated.
If the low fuel level warning light comes on, refuel the vehicle
even if the display indicates that the vehicle can be driven
further.
