This shows the average speed you
are traveling in miles per hour (mph)
f or U.S. models or kilometers per
hour (km/h) f or Canadian models.
This shows the accumulated
traveling time since you last reset it.
When you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position, ELAPSED
TIME is reset.
This shows the estimated distance
you can travel on the fuel remaining
in the f uel tank. This distance is
estimated f rom the f uel economy
you received over the last several
miles(U.S.) or kilometers (Canada),
so it will vary with changes in speed,
traf f ic, etc.
If you want to reset the ELAPSED
TIME manually, go to the trip
computer’s ELAPSED TIME display,
andpressandholdtheSEL/RESET
button until the number resets.
You can customize the ELAPSED
TIME reset conditions on the multi-

Stop f illing the tank af ter the f uel
nozzle automatically clicks of f . Do
not try to ‘‘top off’’ the tank. This
leaves some room in the f uel tank
for the fuel to expand with
temperature changes.
Park with the driver’s side closest
to the service station pump. Removethefuelfillcapslowly.
You may hear a hissing sound as
pressure inside the tank equalizes.
The fuel fill cap is attached to the
f uel f iller with a tether. Place the
cap in the holder on the f uel f ill
door.
even though the tank is not f ull,
there may be a problem with your
vehicle’s fuel vapor recovery
system. The system helps keep
f uel vapor f rom going into the
atmosphere. Try f illing at another
pump. If this does not f ix the
problem, consult your dealer.
Push on the right edge of the f uel
f ill door and release it so that it
pops open. Pull it out to open it

Fill the f uel tank until the nozzle automatically clicks of f .
Reset trip counter to zero.
Record the total gallons (liters) needed to ref ill.
Follow one of the simple calculations above.
The A/C
puts an extra load on the engine
which makes it use more f uel. Use
the f resh-air ventilation when
possible.
Direct calculation is the
recommended source of inf ormation
about your actual f uel economy.
Using f requency of f ill-ups or taking
f uel gauge readings are NOT
accurate measures of f uel economy.
Fuel economy may improve over the
f irst several thousand miles. Combine several short trips into
one. A warmed-up engine is more
f uel ef f icient than a cold one.
