Driving range
■ Average fuel consumption
■ Average fuel consumption after refueling
■ Current fuel consumption
■ Average vehicle speed Displays the estimated maximum distance that can
be driven with the quantity of fuel remaining.
• This distance is computed based on your average fuel
consumption. As a result, the actual distance that can
be driven may differ from that displayed.
• When only a small amount of fuel is added to the tank, the display may not be updated.
Displays the average fuel consumption since the
function was reset.
The function can be reset by pushing the “DISP” switch
for longer than one second when the average fuel con-
sumption is displayed.
Displays the average fuel consumption since the
vehicle was last refueled.
Displays the current rate of fuel consumption.
Displays the average vehicle speed since the engine
was started or the function was reset.
The function can be reset by pushing the “DISP” switch
for longer than one second when the average vehicle
