Fuel Gage
When the indicator nears
empty, you still have a little
fuel left, but you should get
more soon.
Your fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have
left when the ignition is on.
Here are four things some owners ask about. All these
things are normal and do not indicate that anything is
wrong with the fuel gage.
At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the
gage reads full.
It takes a little more (or less) fuel to ll up than the
gage reads. For example, the gage read half full, but
it took more (or less) than half of the tank’s capacity
to ll it.
The gage pointer may move while cornering, braking
or speeding up.
The gage may not indicate empty when the ignition is
turned off.

Fuel Range
Press the information button until FUEL RANGE
displays. This mode shows the approximate number of
remaining miles or kilometers the vehicle can be
driven without refueling.
Fuel range is based on several factors, including
distance travelled, fuel used, fuel capacity, etc. This
estimate will change if driving conditions change.
For example, if driving in traffic and making frequent
stops, this mode 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.
If your vehicle is low on fuel, FUEL RANGE LOW will
display followed by the LOW FUEL message. See “LOW
FUEL” underDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 3-51for more information.
Average Fuel Economy
Press the information button until AVG ECONOMY
displays. This mode 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. The display will
return to zero.
Battery
Press the information button until BATTERY displays.
This mode shows the current battery voltage.
Your vehicle’s charging system regulates voltage based
on the state of the battery. The battery voltage may
uctuate when viewing this information on the DIC.
This is normal.
If there is a problem with the battery charging system, a
DIC message will display. SeeDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-51andElectric Power
Management on page 3-18for more information.
