calculated and displayed based on dis-
tance and fuel consumption for 1 second
with the engine running.
The displayed value is updated every 1
second.

shown in the following cases.
When the vehicle is stopped with the en-
gine running, the display will indicate
the extremely high fuel consumption.
When the vehicle is driving down a long
slope, applying the engine brake, the
display will indicate the extremely
low fuel consumption.
The calculation is reset when the engine
switch is turned off.

lated and displayed based on total driving

culation is reset. When refueling, be sure
to stop your vehicle and turn the engine
switch off.“Cruising Range”
The distance the vehicle can travel with the
remaining fuel is calculated and displayed
based on the quantity of remaining fuel
and past fuel consumption.
The driving range display indicates the
approximate distance that you can drive
until the fuel gauge reaches “E”. It is differ-
ent from the actual distance traveled.
The displayed value is updated every time

sumed.

culation is reset. When refueling, be sure
to stop your vehicle and turn the engine

ing range will be shorter.
