FUEL Button
The fuel button displays average fuel economy
and instantaneous fuel economy, calculated
for your specic driving conditions, and range
information.Average Fuel Economy:The average fuel
economy is viewed as a long-term approximation
of your overall driving conditions. You should
reset the average fuel economy display every time
you refuel. If you press the RESET button in
this mode while you are driving, the system will
reset this display and begin guring fuel economy
from that point in time.
Press the fuel button to display average fuel
economy, such as:
AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY 20.1 MPG or
AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY 11.7 L/100 km
Instantaneous Fuel Economy:Instantaneous
fuel economy reects only the fuel economy
that the vehicle has right now and will change
frequently as driving conditions change. Unlike
average fuel economy, this menu item cannot
be reset.
Press the fuel button again to display
instantaneous fuel economy, such as:
INSTANT FUEL ECONOMY 20.1 MPG or

209

Fuel Range:The range calculates the remaining
distance you can drive without refueling. It is
based on fuel economy and the fuel remaining in
the tank.
Press the fuel button again to display the range,
such as:
RANGE 30 MI or
RANGE 48 km
If the LOW FUEL warning is displayed or if
RANGE is less than 40 miles (64 km), the display
will read RANGE LOW.
The fuel economy data used to determine fuel
range is an average of recent driving conditions.
As your driving conditions change, this data is
gradually updated automatically.
If the vehicle has been idling for a long time, the
range displayed on the DIC could be abnormally
low. The vehicle must be driven 5–10 miles
(8–16 km) to get an accurate reading.

to change your oil on a schedule consistent with
your driving conditions.When the remaining oil life is low, the system will
alert you with the message CHANGE ENGINE OIL.
Remember, you must reset the engine oil life
system yourself after each oil change. It will not
reset itself. To reset the system, seeEngine
Oil Life System on page 340. Be careful not to
reset the engine oil life system accidentally at any
time other than when the oil has just been
changed. It cannot be reset accurately until the
next oil change.

DIC Warnings and Messages
Messages are displayed on the DIC to notify the
driver that the status of the vehicle has changed
and that some action may be needed by the driver
to correct the condition. Multiple messages may
appear one after another. You can scroll through
the messages that may have been sent at the
same time. The DIC is continuously updated with
the vehicle performance status.
Some messages may not require immediate
action, but you can press the RESET button to
acknowledge that you received the messages and
to clear them from the display.
Some messages cannot be cleared from the DIC
display because they are more urgent. These
messages require action before they can be
cleared. You should take any messages that
appear on the display seriously and remember that
clearing the messages will only make the
messages disappear, not correct the problem.
The following are the possible messages that can
be displayed and some information about them.
ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) ACTIVE
This message displays when the Anti-lock
Brake System (ABS) is adjusting brake pressure
to help avoid a braking skid.
Slippery road conditions may exist if this message
is displayed, so adjust your driving accordingly.
The message stays on for a few seconds after the
system stops adjusting brake pressure. See
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) on page 279for
more information.
ACTIVE HANDLING
This message displays when the Active Handling
System is operating. The Active Handling
System is a computer controlled system that
assists the driver in controlling the vehicle
in difficult driving conditions. You may feel or hear
the system working and see the ACTIVE
HANDLING message displayed in the DIC. This
message stays on for a few seconds following the
active handling event. This is normal when the
system is operating. SeeActive Handling System
on page 283andBraking on page 278.
