History graph:Indicates average
fuel economy in 10, 20, or
60 minute intervals. You can choose
the interval using the message
center. The graph is updated each
minute with the fuel economy that
was achieved during the prior 1, 2,
or 6 minutes of driving, respectively.
Each new average will be added to
the left side of the graph, shifting
the past data to the right. When the
graph area is full, the right most point will be deleted, keeping a running
scroll with the bar on the left being the most recent. Note that previous
values will remain when the vehicle is shut off and restarted, but values
from a previous drive cycle will be grayed out. The average fuel economy
since the last reset, or last 2,000 miles (3,200 km) of driving, is shown as
a horizontal line across the bar graph.
Refer toMessage centerin this chapter for more information on the
history graph display mode.
No efficiency information:If you choose, you may turn off both the
Efficiency leaves and History Graph using the message center. In this
case, the portion of your instrument cluster devoted to this information
will be blank.
Refer toMessage centerin this chapter for more information on
choosing no efficiency information.
Average fuel economy:Your average fuel economy in miles/gallon will
be displayed at the top right of your vehicle’s instrument cluster or in
liters/100 km at the lower right along with the efficiency leaves, history
graph or no display (shown previously with history graph). You may
reset this average at any time. Refer toMessage centerin this chapter
for more information on the average fuel economy display mode.
If you calculate your average fuel economy by dividing distance traveled
by amount of fuel used, your figure may be different than displayed for
the following reasons:
•Your vehicle was not perfectly level during fill-up
•Differences in the automatic shut-off points on the fuel pumps at
service stations
•Variations in top-off procedure from one fill-up to another
•Rounding of the displayed values to the nearest 0.1 gallon (liter)

MP3 track and folder structure
Your MP3 system recognizes MP3 individual tracks and folder structure
as follows:
•There are two different modes for MP3 disc playback: MP3 track mode
(system default) and MP3 folder mode. For more information on track
and folder mode, refer toSample MP3 structurein the following
section.
•MP3 track mode ignores any folder structure on the MP3 disc. The
player numbers each MP3 track on the disc (noted by the .mp3 file
extension) from T001 to a maximum of T255.
Note:The maximum number of playable MP3 files may be less
depending on the structure of the CD and exact model of radio
present.
•MP3 folder mode represents a folder structure consisting of one level
of folders. The CD player numbers all MP3 tracks on the disc (noted
by the .mp3 file extension) and all folders containing MP3 files, from
F001 (folder) T001 (track) to F253 T255.
•Creating discs with only one level of folders will help with navigation

Satellite radio reception factors:To receive the satellite signal, your
vehicle has been equipped with a satellite radio antenna located on the
roof of your vehicle. The vehicle roof provides the best location for an
unobstructed, open view of the sky, a requirement of a satellite radio
system. Like AM/FM, there are several factors that can affect satellite
radio reception performance:
•Antenna obstructions: For optimal reception performance, keep the
antenna clear of snow and ice build-up and keep luggage and other
material as far away from the antenna as possible.
•Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway
overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and thunderstorms can
interfere with your reception.
•Station overload: When you pass a ground based broadcast repeating
tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and result in an
audio mute.
Unlike AM/FM audible static, you will hear an audio mute when there is
a satellite radio signal interference. Your radio display may display NO
SIGNAL to indicate the interference.
SIRIUSsatellite radio service:SIRIUSSatellite Radio is a
subscription based satellite radio service that broadcasts music, sports,
news and entertainment programming. A service fee is required in order
to receive SIRIUSservice. Vehicles that are equipped with a factory

with SIRIUS. While in satellite radio mode, you can view this number on
the radio display by pressing AUX and preset 1 control simultaneously.
