Driver inf ormation sy ste m
To ta l-tr ip mem ory ( Trip compu te r 2)
Unlike the single -trip memory, the total -tr ip memory is not reset
automatically . This permits you to evaluate your driving data for the
entire period between manua l resets.
Fu el r an ge
The estimated cruising range in miles (km) appears in the display.
This tells you how far your vehicle will be able to travel on the
current tank of fuel and with the same driving sty le . The display
changes in increments of 6 miles (10 km).
The cruising range is calculated based on the fuel consumption for
t he last 18 miles (30 km). If you drive conservatively, the cruising
range will increase .
Average fuel m ile ag e
The average fuel economy in MPG (1/100 km) since you last cleared
the memory appears in this display. You can use this display to
adjust your driving technique to achieve a desired mileage.
C ur rent fuel mil eage
The instantaneous fuel consumption in mi les per gallon (1/100 km)
is shown in th is d isplay. You can use this display to adjust your
driving technique to achieve a desired mileage.
Fue l consumption is recalcu la ted at intervals of 33 yards (30
meters). When the vehicle is stationary, the most recent fuel
consumption is d isplayed .
Average speed
The average speed in mph (km/h) s ince the last time the display was
reset appears in the display .
Elap se d time
The length of time that you have been driving since you last reset
the memory appears in this display.
Di stance
The elapsed distance since the last time the memory was cleared
appears in the display. The maximum distance that can be recorded
is 9,999 .9 miles (9,999 .9 kilometers).
[ i ] Tips
• Fuel consumptions (average and current), range and speed are
displayed in metric units on Canadian models.
• All stored values will be lost if the vehicle battery is
disconnected .•
Operation
The trip computer is controlled by two switches on the
windshield wiper lever.

The engine and catalytic converter have to reach their optimal oper
ating temperature
to reduce fuel consumption and noxious emis
sions effectively.
• Just after starting, a cold engine in a mid -size car burns the fuel
at a poor rate of 6-8 miles per gallon (30-40 l/100kml. Half a mile
down the road, the mileage improves to 12 MPG (20 1/100 kml. It will
take the engine no less than
two and a half miles (4 km) of driving to
warm up to its proper operating temperature and operate at an
economic mileage. This explains why taking the car for short trips is
a rather wasteful convenience.
• The
outside temperature is also critical in this regard. Your car
consumes more fuel in the winter than in the summer.
