The distan\fe to empty (dte) mode provides you with an
estimation of the distan\fe that \fan be driven before
refueling. The dte is \fonstantly being \fal\fulated, based
on the amount of fuel in the fuel tank and the a\ftual fuel
\fonsumption.
The display is updated every 30 se\fonds.
The dte mode in\fludes a low range warning feature. If
the fuel level is low, the warning is displayed on the
s\freen.
When the fuel level drops even lower, the dte display
will \fhange 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 momenta-
rily change the display.
