Each time the switch
A
is pushed, the
display will change as follows:
Current fuel consumption → Average fuel con-
sumption and speed → Elapsed time and trip
odometer → Distance to empty (dte) → Outside
air temperature (ICY) → Setting → Warning check
1. Current fuel consumption The current fuel consumption mode shows the
current fuel consumption.
2. Average fuel consumption (MPG or
l (liter)/100 km) and speed (MPH or
km/h) Fuel consumption :
The average fuel consumption mode shows the
average fuel consumption since the last reset.
Resetting is done by pushing the switch
B
for longer than 1 second. (The average speed
is also reset at the same time.)
The display is updated every 30 seconds. At
about the first 1/3 mile (500 m) after a reset, the
display shows “——”. Speed :
The average speed mode shows the average
vehicle speed since the last reset. Resetting is
done by pushing the switch
B
for longer
than 1 second. (The average fuel consumption is
also reset at the same time.)
The display is updated every 30 seconds. The
first 30 seconds after a reset, the display shows
“——”.
3. Elapsed time and trip odometer
(mls or km) Elapsed time :
The elapsed time mode shows the time since
the last reset. The displayed time can be reset
by pushing the switch
B
for longer than
1 second. (The trip odometer is also reset at the
same time.)
Trip odometer :
The trip odometer mode shows the total dis-
tance the vehicle has been driven since the last
reset. Resetting is done by pushing the
switch
B
for longer than 1 second. (The
elapsed time is also reset at the same time.) 4. Distance to empty (dte — mls or km) The distance to empty (dte) mode provides you
with an estimation of the distance that can be
driven before refueling. The dte is constantly
being calculated, based on the amount of fuel in
the fuel tank and the actual fuel consumption.
The display is updated every 30 seconds.
The dte mode includes a low range warning
feature. If the fuel level is low, the warning is
displayed on the screen.
When the fuel level drops even lower, the dte
display will change to “——”.
● If the amount of fuel added is small, the
display just before the ignition switch is
pushed to the OFF position may continue to
be displayed.
● When driving uphill or rounding curves, the
fuel in the tank shifts, which may momen-
tarily change the display.
