Distance to empty
The distance to empty (dte) mode provides you
with an estimation of the distance that can be
driven before refueling. The dte is constantly be-
ing calculated, based on the amount of fuel in the
fuel tank and the actual fuel economy which will
depend on driving conditions. Dashes (—) indi-
cate that fuel remaining volume cannot be read by
the fuel pump and should be refilled as soon as
possible.
The display is updated every 30 seconds.NOTE:
When driving uphill or rounding curves, the
fuel in the tank shifts, which may momen-
tarily change the display.
