time you turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN
position or cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position if
equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go™. To turn off the
message temporarily, press and release the MENU but-
ton. To reset the oil change indicator system (after

function you want to reset using the UP button. Push the
RIGHT arrow button until the feature displays zero.
Range To Empty (RTE)
Shows the estimated distance that can be traveled with
the fuel remaining in the tank. This estimated distance is
determined by a weighted average of the instantaneous
and average fuel economy, according to the current fuel
tank level. RTE cannot be reset.
NOTE:Significant changes in driving style or vehicle
loading will greatly affect the actual drivable distance of
the vehicle, regardless of the RTE display value.
When the RTE value is less than 30 miles (48 km)
estimated driving distance, the RTE display will change
to a text display of LOW FUEL”. This display will
continue until the vehicle runs out of fuel. Adding a significant amount of fuel to the vehicle will turn off the
LOW FUEL text and a new RTE value will display.

form while driving. This will monitor the gas mileage in
real-time as you drive and can be used to modify driving

charging system. If the telltale stays on or comes
on while driving, turn off some of the vehicle’s non-

vehicle will usually be drivable. However, see an autho-
rized dealer for service as soon as possible. If the telltale
is flashing when the engine is running, immediate service
is required. You may experience reduced performance, an
elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your vehicle may
require towing.•Engine Temperature Warning Telltale

tion. As temperatures rise and the gauge ap-
proaches H,this telltale will illuminate and a
single chime will sound after reaching a set threshold.
