The measurement can be restarted at
any time.Instantaneous consumption
The value is displayed after reaching
a speed of 20 mph.
Range
The value is displayed after driving a
distance of 0.25 miles.
The range is calculated from the
current contents of the fuel tank and
the average consumption since the
last reset.
The range will not display if control
indicator Y is illuminated in the
instrument cluster 3 83.
The measurement can be restarted at
any time.
