shift to a higher gear or reduce engine speed.
Operating the engine in the red zone may cause
serious engine damage.

check
1. Current fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption mode shows the
current fuel consumption.
2. Average fuel consumption (MPG or
l (liter)/100 km) and speed (MPH or
km/h)
Fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption mode shows the
average fuel consumption since the last reset.
Resetting is done by pushing the
switch
Bfor longer than 1 second. (The average speed
is also reset at the same time.)
The display is updated every 30 seconds. At
about the first 1/3 mile (500 m) after a reset, the
display shows “——”. Speed
The average speed mode shows the average
vehicle speed since the last reset. Resetting is
done by pushing the

4. Distance to empty (dte — mls or
km)
The distance to empty (dte) mode provides you
with an estimation of the distance that can be
driven before refueling. The dte is constantly
being calculated, based on the amount of fuel
in the fuel tank and the actual fuel consump-
tion.
The display is updated every 30 seconds.
The dte mode includes a low range warning
feature. If the fuel level is low, the warning is
displayed on the screen.
When the fuel level drops even lower, the dte
display will change to “——”.
● If the amount of fuel added is small, the
display just before the ignition switch is
pushed to the OFF position may continue to
be displayed.
● When driving uphill or rounding curves, the
fuel in the tank shifts, which may momen-
tarily change the display.
