loading will greatly affect the actual drivable distance of
the vehicle, regardless of the DTE displayed value.
•When the DTE value is less than 30 mi (48 km)
estimated driving distance, the DTE display will
change to a text display of LOW FUEL.This display
will continue until the vehicle runs out of fuel. Adding
