Odometer
Displays the distance the vehicle
has been driven in either
kilometers (km) or miles (mi). Trip A or Trip B
Displays the current distance

each trip odometer in either
kilometers (km) or miles (mi). Both

zero by pressing and holding the

Fuel Range
Displays the approximate remaining
kilometers (km) or miles (mi) you
can drive without refilling the fuel
tank. This estimate is based on the
current driving conditions and
changes if the driving conditions
change. For example, freeway
driving may produce better fuel
economy than city driving with
frequent stops, so the range would
adjust for that.
Once the range drops below about
48 km (30 mi) remaining, the display
shows Low Range.
If the fuel is low, the FUEL LEVEL
LOW message displays. See
“Fuel
Level Low” underFuel System
Messages on page 5‑36 for more
information.
AVG (Average) Economy
Displays the approximate average
liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km)
or miles per gallon (mpg). The
calculation is based on the number
of L/100 km (mpg) recorded since
the last time this display was reset.
Press the set/reset button to reset
to zero.
