Driver inf orma tion d ispl ay
Miles (kilometers ) to empty
The miles (kilometers) to empty indication is a valuable
aid to schedule the refueling stops on a trip .
.,
8 :i: ., m
F ig . 12 Display: miles
(k ilo m eters} to empty
T his feature shows you the estimated range in miles (km)=> fig. 12
until the tank runs dry. This fea ture ca lculates how far you could
drive with the amount of fuel left in your fuel tank while driving
under the current driving conditions. The remaining distance is
recalculated every
6 miles (10 km) .
Whi le calculating the mi les (km) to empty, the system also ca lcu ­
lates your fuel consumption over the last
18 miles (30 km!.
Remember: -the more economically you drive, the further you can
go. •
Open door or trunk lid warning

door o r tr un k wa rning
With the ignition switched on, the open -door-or -lid warning illumi­
nates when at least
one door, or the engine hood or the trunk lid is
not closed. The symbol also shows you

rear door are not closed=>
