distance traveled, in either
kilometers (km) or miles (mi), since
the last reset for the trip odometer.
The trip odometer can be reset to
zero by pressing SET/CLR while the
trip odometer display is showing.
Fuel Range
This display shows the approximate
distance the vehicle can be driven
without refueling. The fuel range
estimate is based on an average of
the vehicle's fuel economy over
recent driving history and the
amount of fuel remaining in the fuel
tank. Fuel range cannot be reset.
Average Fuel Economy
This display shows the approximate
average liters per 100 kilometers (L/
100 km) or miles per gallon (mpg).
This number is calculated based on
the number of L/100 km (mpg)
recorded since the last time this
menu item was reset. This number
reflects only the approximate
average fuel economy that the
vehicle has right now, and willchange as driving conditions
change. The fuel economy can be
reset by pressing SET/CLR while
the Average Fuel Economy display
is showing. The display may not
reset to zero.
Best Average Fuel Economy
The right hand side displays the
best average fuel economy (AFE)
that is achieved for a selected
distance. The left hand side displays
a running average of fuel economy
for the most recently traveled
selected distance. The center of the
Best AFE menu includes a digital
readout and bar graph to show the
instantaneous fuel economy.
Quickly press the SET/CLR button

selection, and SET/CLR to change
the setting.
When viewing best AFE, a several
second press and hold of SET/CLR
will reset the best value. The best
value will show
“- - -”until the
selected distance has been
traveled. The display provides feedback on
how current driving behavior in the
bar graph affects the running
average in the left display and how
well recent driving compares to the
best that has been achieved.
Average Vehicle Speed
This display shows the average
speed of the vehicle in kilometers
per hour (km/h) or miles per
hour (mph). This average is
calculated based on the various
vehicle speeds recorded since the
last reset of this value. The average
speed can be reset by pressing
SET/CLR while the Average Vehicle
Speed display is showing.
Timer
This display can be used as a timer.
To start the timer, press SET/CLR
