Fuel Menu Items (Uplevel Only)
.
(Fuel):Press this button to scroll through the
following menu items:
Fuel Range
Press the fuel button until FUEL RANGE displays.
This mode shows the approximate number of
remaining miles or kilometers the vehicle can be
driven without refueling.
Fuel range is based on several factors, including
distance traveled, fuel used, fuel capacity, etc.
This estimate will change if driving conditions
change. For example, if driving in traffic and
making frequent stops, this mode may read
one number, but if the vehicle is driven on a
freeway, the number may change even though the
same amount of fuel is in the fuel tank. This is
because different driving conditions produce
different fuel economies. Generally, freeway
driving produces better fuel economy than city
driving. Fuel range cannot be reset.
If your vehicle is low on fuel, FUEL RANGE LOW
will display followed by the LOW FUEL message.
See “LOW FUEL” underDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 208for more information.
Average Fuel Economy
Press the fuel button until AVG ECONOMY
displays. This mode shows the approximate
average miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per
100 kilometers (L/100 km). This number is
calculated based on the number of mpg (L/100 km)
recorded since the last time this menu item was
reset. To reset AVG ECONOMY, press and hold
the set/reset button. The display will return to zero.

system, a DIC message will display. See
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 208for
more information.
SeeElectric Power Management on page 163for
more information.

pressure for the front tires. To view the pressure
for the rear tires, press the gages button again
until REAR TIRE PRESSURE displays. The

square inch (psi) or kilopascals (kPa).
If a low or high tire pressure condition is detected
by the system while driving, a message advising
you to check the pressure in a specic tire
will appear in the display. SeeInation - Tire
Pressure on page 409andDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 208for more information.
If the tire pressure display shows dashes
instead of a value, there may be a problem with
your vehicle. If this consistently occurs, see
your dealer for service.
Oil Life
Press the gages button until OIL LIFE displays.
This mode shows an estimate of the oil’s
remaining useful life. If you see OIL LIFE 99% on
the display, that means 99% of the current oil
life remains. The engine oil life system will alert
you to change your oil on a schedule consistent
with your driving conditions.
When the remaining oil life is low, the CHANGE OIL
SOON message will appear on the display. You
should change your oil as soon as possible. See
Engine Oil on page 353. In addition to the engine oil
life system monitoring the oil life, additional
maintenance is recommended in the Maintenance
Schedule in this manual. SeeScheduled
Maintenance on page 462for more information.
Remember, you must reset the OIL LIFE yourself
after each oil change. It will not reset itself.
Also, be careful not to reset the OIL LIFE
accidentally at any time other than when the oil
has just been changed. It cannot be reset
accurately until the next oil change. To reset the
engine oil life system, seeEngine Oil Life
System on page 356. The display will show 100%
when the system is reset.
