Fuel Econ Avg
Select this function from the FUEL
control to display your average fuel
economy in miles/gallon or liters/100
km.
If you calculate your average fuel
economy by dividing gallons of fuel used by 100 miles traveled
(kilometers traveled by liters used), your figure may be different than
displayed for the following reasons:
•your vehicle was not perfectly level during fill-up
•differences in the automatic shut-off points on the fuel pumps at
service stations
•variations in top-off procedure from one fill-up to another
•rounding of the displayed values to the nearest gallon (liter)
Checking your highway fuel economy using the electronic
message center display
The following procedure will allow you to accurately monitor your actual
highway fuel economy. Since this procedure requires the vehicle speed
control system to be set to highway speeds, it must be run only on
suitable roadways where long distance speed control can be safely
maintained.
You may notice gradual improvement in fuel economy over the course of
your vehicle’s break-in period (approximately 1,000 miles [1,600
kilometers]).
1. Press the FUEL control to display
miles to empty. Press again to
display average fuel economy.
2. Set the speed control. Refer to
Speed controlin this chapter.
3. Press the RESET control to clear the system memory.
•Actual highway fuel economy is now displayed.This current
average measure will change as the speed control system changes the
engine speed to maintain a constant vehicle speed. This is most
noticeable in hilly environments.
4. Drive the vehicle at least 5 miles (8 km) with the speed control
system engaged to display a stabilized average.
5. Record the highway fuel economy for future reference.
