Trip Computer
The trip computer functions only operate
when the engine is running. See General
Information (page 69).
Fuel Gauge
Note: The fuel gauge may vary slightly
when your vehicle is moving or on a slope.
Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge will
indicate approximately how much fuel is
left in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to
the fuel pump symbol indicates on which
side of your vehicle the fuel filler door is
located. The gauge is divided into four segments
and moves towards the right when you
refuel your vehicle. If the gauge remains in
the far left segment after adding fuel, this
indicates your vehicle needs service soon.
After refueling, some variability in gauge
position is normal:
•
It may take a short time for the gauge
to reach full after leaving the gas
station. This is normal and depends
upon the slope of pavement at the gas
station.
• The fuel amount dispensed into the
tank is a little less or more than the
gauge indicated. This is normal and
depends upon the slope of pavement
at the gas station.
• If the gas station nozzle shuts off
before the tank is full, try a different
gas pump nozzle.
Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel reminder triggers when the
distance to empty value reaches
50 mi
(80 km) to empty, with additional
warnings at 25 mi (40 km), 10 mi (20 km)
and 0 mi (0 km) to empty if the message
is cleared each time.
In Track Mode, the distance to empty
warnings appear at 10% and 0% to empty
if the message is cleared each time.
After extended periods of performance
driving, your distance to empty value may
display low even after refueling. Drive your
vehicle under normal operating conditions
to recalibrate the distance to empty or
reset your trip computer.
Variations
Note: The low fuel warning and distance-to-empty warning can appear at different fuel
gauge positions depending on fuel economy conditions. This variation is normal.

If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck In Mud
or Snow
If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow,
reducing the stability and traction control
may be beneficial as this allows the wheels
to spin. You can reduce the stability and
traction control by switching to Sport
mode and adjusting the AdvanceTrac
setting. See Using Stability Control
(page 110).

•
The brake pedal is stiffer than usual.
• If the driving condition is severe and
your foot is not on the brake, the brake
pedal may move as the system applies
higher brake force.
The stability and traction control systems
have several features built into it to help
you maintain control of your vehicle:
AdvanceTrac ™ Electronic
Stability Control
The system enhances your vehicle ’s ability
to prevent skids or lateral slides by
applying brakes to one or more of the
wheels individually and, if necessary,
reducing engine power.
Traction Control
The system enhances your vehicle ’s ability
to maintain traction of the wheels by
detecting and controlling wheel spin.
Traction control settings on your vehicle
are integrated into the AdvanceTrac
Stability Control system. USING STABILITY CONTROL
AdvanceTrac
™ Electronic
Stability Control
The system automatically turns on each
time you switch the ignition on. You can
also use the stability control button on the
center console to adjust the operation of
the AdvanceTrac stability control system.

disabled when the transmission is in
reverse (R).
The amount of change you can make to
the AdvanceTrac stability control system
depends on the Drive Mode you have
