Instrument Panel 3-43

Each trip odometer can be reset to
zero separately by pressing the
set/reset button while the desired
trip odometer is displayed.
The trip odometer has a feature
called the retro-active reset.
This can be used to set the trip
odometer to the number of miles
(kilometers) driven since the ignition
was last turned on. This can be
used if the trip odometer is not reset
at the beginning of the trip.
To use the retro-active reset feature,
press and hold the set/reset button
for at least four seconds. The trip
odometer will display the number of
miles (mi) or kilometers (km) driven
since the ignition was last turned on
and the vehicle was moving. Once
the vehicle begins moving, the trip
odometer will accumulate mileage.
For example, if the vehicle was
driven 5 miles (8 km) before it is
started again, and then the
retro-active reset feature is activated,
the display will show 5 miles (8 km).As the vehicle begins moving, the
display will then increase to 5.1 miles
(8.2 km), 5.2 miles (8.4 km), etc.
If the retro-active reset feature is
activated after the vehicle is started,
but before it begins moving, the
display will show the number
of miles (mi) or kilometers (km)
that were driven during the
last ignition cycle.
RANGE
Press the trip/fuel button until
RANGE displays. This display
shows the approximate number
of remaining miles (mi) or
kilometers (km) the vehicle can be
driven without refueling. The display
will show LOW if the fuel level is low.
The fuel range estimate is based on
an average of the vehicle’s fuel
economy over recent driving history
and the amount of fuel remaining
in the fuel tank. This estimate
will change if driving conditions
change. For example, if driving in
traffic and making frequentstops, this display may read one
number, but if the vehicle is driven
on a freeway, the number may
change even though the same
amount of fuel is in the fuel tank.
This is because different driving
conditions produce different
fuel economies. Generally, freeway
driving produces better fuel
economy than city driving. Fuel
range cannot be reset.
AVG (Average) ECONOMY
Press the trip/fuel button until AVG
ECONOMY displays. This display
shows the approximate average
miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per
100 kilometers (L/100 km). This
number is calculated based on
the number of mpg (L/100 km)
recorded since the last time
this menu item was reset. To reset
AVG ECONOMY, press and
hold the set/reset button.
