Calculating fuel economy
Do not measure fuel economy during the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of
driving (this is your engine’s break-in period); a more accurate
measurement is obtained after 2,000 miles–3,000 miles (3,200 km–4,800
km). Also, fuel expense, frequency of fill-ups or fuel gauge readings are
not accurate ways to measure fuel economy.
1. Fill the fuel tank completely and record the initial odometer reading.
2. Each time you fill the tank, record the amount of fuel added.
3. After at least three to five tank fill-ups, fill the fuel tank and record
the current odometer reading.
4. Subtract your initial odometer reading from the current odometer
reading.
5. Calculate fuel economy as follows:
Standard: Divide miles traveled by gallons used.
Metric: Multiply liters used by 100, then divide by kilometers traveled.
Keep a record for at least one month and record the type of driving (city
or highway). This provides an accurate estimate of the vehicle’s fuel
economy under current driving conditions. Additionally, keeping records
during summer and winter show how temperature impacts fuel economy.
In general, lower temperatures mean lower fuel economy.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
WARNING:Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in dry grass
or other dry ground cover. The emission system heats up the
engine compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire.
WARNING:Exhaust leaks may result in entry of harmful and
potentially lethal fumes into the passenger compartment. If you
smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have your dealer inspect your
vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you smell exhaust fumes.

ENGINE IDLE HOUR METER (IF EQUIPPED):
Your vehicle may be equipped with an idle meter to indicate how much
time the vehicle is idling in P (Park) or N (Neutral). The meter is
incorporated with the vehicle odometer. Depressing the odometer-reset
button once will display the trip odometer (miles [km] followed by a “T”
for trip odometer); depressing the odometer-reset button a second time
will display the idle meter (hours followed by an “H” for hours). The idle
meter only accumulates time when the vehicle is in P (Park) or N
(Neutral). Displayed time is cumulative for the vehicle.It cannot be
reset to zero.Police/Fleet vehicles often experience long periods of
idling, during which engine oil will continue to break down but distance
is not accumulated on the odometer.
To assist fleet managers in maintaining proper oil change intervals, the
idle meter will help determine when an oil change is required. For every
hour that the vehicle idles, it has accumulated the equivalent of
approximately 33 miles (53 km) of driving. Using the combination of the
vehicle odometer and idle meter allows the fleet manager to better
determine when the oil needs to be changed
Engine idle hour meter calculation:
Idle hours x 33 = miles (km) equivalency
Miles (km) driven + miles (km) equivalency = oil change interval
Example:When the odometer has accumulated 3,000 miles (4,800 km)
and the idle meter shows 61 hours, a 5,000 mile (8,000 km) oil change
interval will have been reached: 3,000 road miles (4,800 road km) + (61
idle hours x 33 miles [53 km]/idle hour) = 5,013 miles (8,067 km).
