kilometers (km) or miles (mi), since

Fuel Range
This display shows the approximate
distance 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. Fuel range cannot be reset.
Fuel Economy
This display shows both the
average fuel economy and the
instantaneous fuel economy.
They are shown in liters per
100 kilometers (L/100 km) or miles
per gallon (mpg).Average fuel economy is calculated
based on the number of
L/100 km (mpg) recorded since the
last time this menu item was reset.
The average fuel economy can be
reset by pressing SET/CLR while
the Fuel Economy display is
showing.
The instantaneous fuel economy
reflects only the current fuel
economy and changes frequently as
driving conditions change. Unlike
average economy, this display
cannot be reset.
Average Vehicle Speed
This display shows the average
speed of the vehicle in kilometers
per hour (km/h) or miles per
hour (mph). This average is
calculated based on the various
vehicle speeds recorded since the
last reset of this value. The average
speed can be reset by pressing
SET/CLR while the Average Vehicle
Speed display is showing.Timer
This display can be used as a timer.
To start the timer, press SET/CLR
while Timer is displayed. The
display will show the amount of time
that has passed since the timer was
last reset, not including time the

be counted as long as the ignition is
on, even if another display is being
shown on the DIC. The timer will
record up to 99 hours, 59 minutes,
and 59 seconds (99:59:59) after
which the display will return to zero.
To stop the timer, press SET/CLR
briefly while Timer is displayed. To
reset the timer to zero, press and
