•TRIP A/B: Registers the distance of individual journeys. Press and
release the INFO button until the A or B trip appears in the display
(this represents the trip mode). Press the RESET button to reset.
SeeSystem check and vehicle feature customizationlater in this
section to switch the display from metric to English.
•MILES (KILOMETERS) TO E: This displays an estimate of
approximately how far you can drive with the fuel remaining in your
tank under normal driving conditions. Remember to turn the ignition
off when refueling to allow this feature to detect the added fuel
correctly. The distance to empty calculation uses a running average
fuel economy based on your recent driving history of 500 miles
(800 kilometers). This value is not the same as the average fuel
economy display. The running average fuel economy resets to a
factory default value if the battery is disconnected.
•AVG MPG (L/100 km): Average fuel economy displays your average
fuel economy in miles/gallon or liters/100 km.
•TIMER: Displays the trip elapsed drive time. Press and release
RESET to pause the timer. Press and hold RESET to reset the timer.

BREAKING-IN
You need to break in new tires for approximately 300 miles
(480 kilometers). During this time, your vehicle may exhibit some unique
driving characteristics. Avoid driving too fast during the first 1000 miles
(1600 kilometers). Vary your speed frequently and change up through
the gears early. Do not labor the engine.
ECONOMICAL DRIVING
Several things affect your vehicle’s fuel economy, such as how you drive,
the conditions you drive under and how you maintain your vehicle.
You may improve your vehicle’s fuel economy by keeping these things in
mind:
•Accelerate and slow down in a smooth, moderate fashion.
•Drive at steady speeds without stopping.
•Anticipate stops; slowing down may eliminate the need to stop.
•Close the windows for high-speed driving.
•Drive at reasonable speeds. Traveling at 55 mph (88 km/h) uses 15%
less fuel than traveling at 65 mph (105 km/h).
•Keep the tires properly inflated and use only the recommended size.
•Use the recommended engine oil.
•Perform all regularly scheduled maintenance.
You may want to avoid doing these things since they may reduce your
vehicle’s fuel economy:
•Sudden or hard accelerations.
•Warm up your vehicle on cold mornings.
•Use the air conditioner or front defroster.
•Use the speed control in hilly terrain.
•Rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving.
•Carry unnecessary weight. Approximately 1 mpg (0.4 km/L) is lost for
every 400 pounds (180 kilograms) of weight carried).
•Add particular accessories to your vehicle (such as bug deflectors,
roll bars and light bars, running boards, ski racks).
•Drive with the wheels out of alignment.
