the rear wiper control to OFF to disable the
rear wiper. In some vehicles, if the
transmission is in N (Neutral) and the
vehicle speed is very slow, the rear wiper
will automatically park under the rear
spoiler.
The wiper operations return to normal when
the transmission is no longer in N (Neutral)
or the vehicle speed has increased. Reverse Gear Wipes

wiper will automatically operate
continuously when the shift lever is in
R (Reverse), and the front windshield wiper
is performing low or high speed wipes.
If the rear wiper control is off, the shift
lever is in R (Reverse), and the front
windshield wiper is performing interval
wipes, then the rear wiper automatically
performs interval wipes.

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 will change as
driving conditions change. The fuel economy
can be reset by pressing SET/CLR while the
Average Fuel Economy display is showing.
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
Available on some vehicles, this display can
be used as a timer. To start the timer, press
SET/CLR while Timer is displayed. The
display will show the amount of time that
has passed since the timer was last reset,
not including time the ignition is off. Timewill continue to be counted as long as the
ignition is on, even if another display is
being shown on the DIC. The timer will
record up to 99 hours, 59 minutes, and
59 seconds (99:59:59) after which the
display will return to zero. To stop the
timer, press SET/CLR briefly while Timer is
displayed. To reset the timer to zero, press

approximate pressures of all four tires. Tire
pressure is displayed in either
kilopascal (kPa) or pounds per square
inch (psi). See
Tire Pressure Monitor System
0 206 and
Tire Pressure Monitor Operation 0206.
Remaining Oil Life
This menu is not available while the vehicle
is moving. This display shows an estimate of
the oil's remaining useful life. If REMAINING
OIL LIFE 99 % is displayed, that means 99%
of the current oil life remains.
When the remaining oil life is low, the
CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message will
appear on the display. The oil should
changed as soon as possible. See Engine Oil
0 172. In addition to the engine oil life
system monitoring the oil life, additional
maintenance is recommended. See
Maintenance Schedule 0235.
Remember, the Oil Life display must be
reset after each oil change. It will not reset
itself. Also, be careful not to reset the Oil
Life display accidentally at any time other
than when the oil has just been changed.

This message displays when the vehicle's
propulsion power is reduced. A reduction in
propulsion power can affect the vehicle's
ability to accelerate. If this message is on,
but there is no observed reduction in
performance, proceed to your destination.
Under certain conditions the performance
may be reduced the next time the vehicle is
driven. The vehicle may be driven while this
message is on, but maximum acceleration
and speed may be reduced. Anytime this message stays on, or displays repeatedly,
the vehicle should be taken to your dealer
for service as soon as possible.
Under certain operating conditions,
propulsion will be disabled. Try restarting
after the ignition has been off for
30 seconds.
Vehicle Speed Messages
