 The fuel gauge is supplemented by a low fuel warning light, which
will illuminate when the fuel tank
is nearly empty.
 On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge pointer may fluctuate or the
low fuel warning light may come
on earlier than usual due to the
movement of fuel in the tank.

Distance to empty
This mode indicates the estimated distance to empty based on the cur-rent fuel in the fuel tank and the
amount of fuel delivered to the
engine. When the remaining distance
is below 30 miles (50 km), “----” will
be displayed and the distance to
empty indicator will blink.
The meter’s working range is from 30 to 9999 miles (50 to 9999 km).
Average fuel consumption
This mode calculates the average fuel consumption from the total fuelused and the distance since the last
average consumption reset.
Pressing the TRIP button for more
than 1 second, when the average
fuel consumption is displayed, clears
the average fuel consumption to zero(--.-).
✽✽NOTICE
The average fuel consumption is not
displayed for more accurate calcula-
tion if the vehicle is not driven more
than 10 seconds or 0.186 miles (300
meters) since the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
✽
✽ NOTICE
 If the vehicle is not on level ground or the battery power has been
interrupted, the distance to empty
function may not operate correctly.
 The distance to empty may differ from the actual driving distance as
it is an estimate of the available
driving distance.
 The trip computer may not register additional fuel if less than 1.6 gal-
lons (6 liters) of fuel are added to
the vehicle.
 The fuel economy and distance to empty may vary significantly based
on driving conditions, driving
habits, and condition of the vehicle.
