distance you can travel on the remaining
fuel based on the fuel economy.
The distance-to-empty will be calculated
and displayed every second.
NOTE
 y  Even though the distance-to-empty
display may indicate a suffi cient amount
of remaining driving distance before
refueling is required, refuel as soon as
possible if the fuel level is very low or
the low fuel warning light illuminates.
 y The display may not change unless you

approximate remaining distance the
vehicle can be driven until all the
graduation marks in the fuel gauge
(indicating the remaining fuel supply)
disappear.
Average fuel economy mode
This mode displays the average fuel
economy by calculating the total fuel
consumption and the total traveled

or resetting the data. The average fuel
economy is calculated and displayed every
minute.
To clear the data being displayed, press the
INFO button for more than 1.5 seconds.
