operate for a certain number of miles
or degrees of turn before needing a
signal from the GPS satellites. When
the compass display shows CAL, drive
the vehicle for a short distance in an

signal. The compass system will
automatically determine when a GPS
signal is restored and provide a
heading again.

economy over recent driving history
and the amount of fuel remaining in
the fuel tank.
Average Fuel Economy : 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
will change as driving conditions change. The Average Fuel Economy
can be reset by pressing and holding
SEL while this display is active.
Instantaneous Fuel Economy :
Shows
the current fuel economy in either
liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km) or
miles per gallon (mpg). This number

economy that the vehicle has right
now and changes frequently as driving
conditions change.
Average Speed : Shows the average
speed of the vehicle in kilometers per
hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph).
This average is calculated based on

in better fuel economy.
Economy Trend : Shows history of
the Average Fuel Economy from the
last 50 km (30 mi). Each bar
represents about 5 km (3 mi) of
driving. During driving the bars will
