Resetting A Trip Info Function
To Reset any of the three Trip Info functions, select the
function you want to reset using the UP button. Push the
RIGHT arrow button until the feature display zero.
Range To Empty (RTE)
Shows the estimated distance that can be traveled with

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.
