tance to empty based on the current fuel
in the fuel tank and the amount of fuel
delivered to the engine. When the

gallons) of fuel are added to the vehi-
cle.
• The fuel consumption and distance to empty values may vary significantly
based on driving conditions, driving
habits, and condition of the vehicle.
• The distance to empty value is an esti- mate of the available driving distance.
This value may differ from the actual
driving distance available.
Driving time (“ET” shown on dis-
play)
