RIGHT arrow button until the feature displays zero.
Range To Empty (RTE)
Shows the estimated distance that can be traveled with
the fuel remaining in the tank. This estimated distance is
determined by a weighted average of the instantaneous
and average fuel economy, according to the current fuel
tank level. RTE cannot be reset.
NOTE:Significant changes in driving style or vehicle
loading will greatly affect the actual drivable distance of
the vehicle, regardless of the RTE display value. When the RTE value is less than 30 miles (48 km)
estimated driving distance, the RTE display will change
to a text display of
LOW FUEL”. This display will
continue until the vehicle runs out of fuel. Adding a
significant amount of fuel to the vehicle will turn off the
LOW FUEL text and a new RTE value will display.Average Fuel Economy
This feature shows the average fuel economy since the
last reset. When Average Fuel Economy is selected, The
word “RESET>” (with right arrow) appears next to it.
Pressing the RIGHT arrow button will reset Average Fuel
Economy which displays “0” immediately after reset.
Then, the history information will be erased, and the
averaging will continue from the last fuel average read-
ing before the reset.
