1. Current and average fuel con-
sumption
The current and average fuel consump-
tion mode shows the current and aver-
age fuel consumption.
2. Average fuel consumption (MPG
or l (liter)/100 km) and speed (MPH
or km/h)
Fuel consumption:
The average fuel consumption mode
shows the average fuel consumption
since the last reset. Resetting is done by
pushing the
switchfor longer than
1 second. (The average speed is also reset
at the same time.)
The display is updated every 30 seconds.
At about the first 1/3 mile (500 m) after a
reset, the display shows “——”.
Speed:
The average speed mode shows the
average vehicle speed since the last reset.
Resetting is done by pushing the
switchfor longer than 1 second. (The
average fuel consumption is also reset at
the same time.) The display is updated every 30 seconds.
The first 30 seconds after a reset, the
display shows “——”.
3. Elapsed time and trip odometer
(MILES or km)
Elapsed time:
The elapsed time mode shows the time
since the last reset. The displayed time
can be reset by pushing the
switchfor longer than 1 second. (The trip od-
ometer is also reset at the same time.)
Trip odometer:
The trip odometer mode shows the total
distance the vehicle has been driven since
the last reset. Resetting is done by push-
ing the
switchfor longer than 1
second. (The elapsed time is also reset at
the same time.)
4. Distance to empty (dte — MILES
or km)
The distance to empty (dte) mode pro-
vides you with an estimation of the
distance that can be driven before refuel-
ing. The dte is constantly being calcu-
lated, based on the amount of fuel in the
fuel tank and the actual fuel consump-
tion.
The display is updated every 30 seconds.
The dte mode includes a low range warning feature. If the fuel level is low,
the warning is displayed on the screen.
When the fuel level drops even lower, the
dte display will change to “——”.
.
If the amount of fuel added is small,
the display just before the ignition
switch is pushed to the OFF position
may continue to be displayed.
. When driving uphill or rounding
curves, the fuel in the tank shifts,
which may momentarily change the
display.
5. Outside air temperature (ICY — °F
or °C)
The outside air temperature is displayed
in °F or °C in the range of −22 to 131°F (−30
to 55°C).
The outside air temperature mode in-
cludes a low temperature warning fea-
ture. If the outside air temperature is
below 37°F (3°C), the warning is displayed
on the screen.
The outside temperature sensor is lo-
cated in front of the radiator. The sensor
may be affected by road or engine heat,
wind directions and other driving condi-
tions. The display may differ from the
actual outside temperature or the tem-
perature displayed on various signs or
billboards.
