  Even though the distance-to-empty display may indicate a suffi cient amount of
remaining driving distance before refuelling is required , refuel as soon as possible if
the fuel level is very low or the low fuel warning light illuminates.
  The display will not change unless you add more than approximately 9 L (2.3 US gal,

  The distance-to-empty is the 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

Transaxle
CAUTION

 Keep your foot off the clutch pedal
except when shifting gears. Also, do
not use the clutch to hold the vehicle
on an upgrade. Riding the clutch
will cause needless clutch wear and
damage.
  Do not apply any excessive lateral
force to the shift lever when
changing from 5th to 4th gear. This
could lead to the accidental selection
of 2nd gear, which can result in
damage to the transaxle.
  Make sure the vehicle comes to a
complete stop before shifting to R.
Shifting to R while the vehicle is still
moving may damage the transaxle.
NOTE
