rious personal injury. To avoid or re-
duce the risk, the procedures must be

WHEN READING THE MANUAL

DISTANCE TO EMPTY (DTE)
Displays the estimated distance the ve-
hicle can be driven before refueling. The
value is calculated based on recent fuel
economy, the amount of fuel remaining in
the fuel tank, and the actual fuel
consumption.
Changes in driving patterns or conditions
can cause the DTE value to vary. As a result,
the value displayed may differ from the ac-
tual distance that can be driven.
DTE display will change to “---” when the
fuel level in the tank is getting low, prior to
the fuel gauge reaching 0 (Empty).
NOTE:
• The DTE value af ter refill is estimatedbased on recent fuel economy and
amount of fuel added.
• If a small amount of fuel is added, or the ignition is on during refueling, the
display may not be updated.
• Conditions that affect the fuel economy will also affect the estimated
DTE value (city/highway driving, idle
time, remote start time, terrain, sea-
sonal weather, added vehicle weight,
added deflectors, roof racks, etc.).
VARIABLE COMPRESSION TURBO
(if so equipped)
Your engine is equipped with a variable
compression ratio system called “Variable
Compression Turbo”. This system can vary
the engine compression ratio
continuously.
According to driving conditions, the system
applies optimum compression ratio auto-
matically to achieve both high output and
high fuel economy efficiency. This is not a physical gauge. It is a display
option in the vehicle information display
that can be selected. For additional infor-
mation, see “Vehicle information display”
(P. 2-34).
1Compression ratio status display
Displays the status of compression ra-
tio controlled by Variable Compression
Turbo. The lowest compression ratio
(8:1) and the highest (14:1) are displayed
as “Power” and ”ECO” respectively.
2Turbo charger boost pressure gauge
Displays the turbo charger boost
pressure.
NOTE:
Under some conditions, the compres-
sion ratio may not change. This is not a
malfunction of the system.
CAUTION
If the Variable Compression Turbo be-
comes faulty, the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) may come on. For additional
information, see “Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL)” (P. 2-15).
