Performance Pages Ð If Equipped
WARNING!
Measurement of vehicle statistics with the perfor-
mance pages is intended for off-highway or off-road
use only and should not be done on any public
roadways. It is recommended that these features be
used in a controlled environment and within the
limits of the law. The capabilities of the vehicle as
measured by the performance pages must never be
exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which
can jeopardize the users safety or the safety of others.
Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent
accidents.Performance Pages display in the EVIC the following
performance data:
²1/8 Mile Time and Speed
²1/4 Mile Time and Speed
²0-60 MPH (100 kp/h) Time
²Braking Distance (Speed and Distance)
²Vehicle G-Force (Longitudinal and Lateral)
NOTE:If any of the Performance Page Screens are
active, the trip button will not affect the odometer. The
trip button will toggle to a vehicle best screen if appli-
cable.
1/8 or 1/4 Mile
When the 1/8 (1/4) mile EVIC screen is active, the time
that the vehicle takes to travel 1/8 (1/4) mile will be
displayed along with the speed when the vehicle reaches
the 1/8 (1/4) mile distance.

²The feature will ªreadyº when the vehicle is at 0 mph.
The mph (kph) and SEC text will flash, indicating that
conditions are met for the event to begin.
²If the vehicle does not reach 1/8 (1/4) mile distance in
less then 30 seconds, the EVIC will display dashes.
²After a completed 1/8 (1/4) mile event, the speed and
time will be displayed on the EVIC. The speed and
time will remain on the screen until a new perfor-
mance screen is selected, or the vehicle speed drops to
0 mph and climbs past 30 mph (48 kp/h).
²Pressing the trip button will display the vehicle best
1/8 mile or 1/4 mile run.
²To clear the current and vehicle best time and distance,
hold the trip button, then press and release the EVIC
button.
Braking Distance
When the braking distance EVIC screen is active, the
vehicle braking distance and speed at which the brake
was depressed will be displayed. This feature is available
for braking that begins at a speed over 30 MPH (48
kp/h).
²The mph (kph) and Ft. (m). text will flash when the
conditions are met to begin a braking event. While a
braking event is taking place, the starting speed and
current distance will be shown.
²The feature will be disabled if the park brake is
engaged.
²The braking distance measurement will be aborted if
the brake is released before the vehicle comes to a
complete stop.

0-60 MPH (0-100 kp/h)
When the 0-60 mph (100 kp/h) screen is active, the time
that the vehicle takes to reach 60 MPH (100 kp/h) will be
displayed.
²The feature will ªreadyº when the vehicle is at 0 mph.
The SEC text will flash indicating that conditions are
met for the event to begin.
²If the vehicle does not reach 60 MPH (100 kp/h) in less
then 10 seconds, the display will revert back to dashes.
²Pressing the trip button will display the vehicle best
time to 60 MPH (100 kp/h).
²To clear the vehicle best, hold the trip button, then
press and release the EVIC button. This will reset the
best and current values.
G-Force
When the G-Force Screen is active, all four G-force values
will be displayed; two longitude and two latitude.
²When a force greater than 0 is measured, the display
will update the values as it climbs. As the G-Forces fall
in value, the peak forces are held. After0Gis
measured in the vehicle the peak values will continue
to be displayed for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds, the
value will revert back to 0.
Compass/Temperature/Audio Ð If Equipped
Press and release the EVIC button to display one of eight
compass headings to indicate the direction the vehicle is

Average Fuel Economy
Shows the average fuel economy since the last reset.
When the fuel economy is reset, the display will read
ªRESETº or show dashes for two seconds. Then, the
history information will be erased, and the averaging will
continue from the last fuel reading before the reset.
Distance To Empty (DTE)
Shows the estimated distance that can be travelled with
the fuel remaining in the tank. This estimated distance is
determined by a weighted average of the instantaneous
and average fuel economy, according to the current fuel
tank level. This is not resettable.
NOTE:Significant changes in driving style or vehicle
loading will greatly affect the actual drivable distance of
the vehicle, regardless of the DTE displayed value.When the DTE value is less than 30 miles (48 kilometers)
estimated driving distance, the DTE display will change
to a text display of9LOW FUEL9. This display will
continue until the vehicle runs out of fuel. Adding a
significant amount of fuel to the vehicle will turn off the
9LOW FUEL9text and a new DTE value will be dis-
played, based on the current values in the DTE calcula-
tion and the current fuel tank level.
Elapsed Time
Shows the total elapsed time of travel since the last reset
when the ignition switch is in the ACC position. Elapsed
time will increment when the ignition switch is in the ON
or START position.
Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Ð If Equipped
Refer to Section 5, ªTire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) for system operation.
