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 kilometers (km) or
miles (mi) 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 8 km (5 miles) before
it is started again, and then the retro-active reset feature
is activated, the display will show 8 km (5 miles). As the
vehicle begins moving, the display will then increase to
8.2 km (5.1 miles), 8.4 km (5.2 miles), 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 kilometers (km) or
miles (mi) that were driven during the last ignition cycle.
Fuel Range
Press the trip/fuel button until FUEL RANGE displays.
This display shows the approximate number of
remaining kilometers (km) or miles (mi) the vehicle can
be driven without refueling.
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 frequent stops,
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.
If your vehicle is low on fuel, the FUEL LEVEL LOW
message will be displayed. See
“FUEL LEVEL LOW”
under DIC Warnings and Messages
on page 4‑49for
more information.
Average Economy
Press the trip/fuel button until AVG ECONOMY
displays. This display shows the approximate average
liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km) or miles per gallon
(mpg). This number is calculated based on the number
of L/100 km (mpg) 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.
Instantaneous Economy
Press the trip/fuel button until INST ECONOMY
displays. This display shows the current fuel economy
at a particular moment and will change frequently as
driving conditions change. This display shows the
instantaneous fuel economy in liters per 100 kilometers
(L/100 km) or miles per gallon (mpg). Unlike average
economy, this screen cannot be reset.
