Trip Computer
The vehicle may have a trip
computer. The trip computer
provides information on driving
data. This information is
continually recorded and

voltage has dropped too low, the
values stored in the trip computer
will be lost.

and instantaneous consumption.
To access other trip computer

has this feature.
Press the left thumbwheel, if your
vehicle has this feature, on the
steering wheel.
Select the trip computer menu
front display.The functions are displayed in the
following order:
Range
This display shows the approximate
number of remaining miles (mi)
or kilometers (km) the vehicle
can be driven without refueling.
The message “Range” displays if
less than 31 miles (50 km) can be
driven with the fuel remaining in
the tank.
SeeDIC Warnings and Messages
(Base and Uplevel Systems) on
page 4-37for information on
acknowledging the message.
The fuel range estimate is based
on an average of the vehicle’s fuel
economy over recent driving history
and the amount of fuel remaining in
the fuel tank. This estimate will
change if driving conditions change.
4-34 Instruments and Controls
ProCarManuals.com

For example, if driving in traffic and
making frequent stops, this display
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.
Instantaneous Consumption
This display shows the current fuel
economy at a particular moment and
will change frequently as driving
conditions change. This display
shows the instantaneous fuel
economy in miles per gallon (mpg) or
liters per 100 kilometers (l/100 km).The metric display changes
depending on speed:
Below 8 mph (13 km/h), displays
in l/h.
Above 8 mph (13 km/h), displays
in l/100 km.
This screen cannot be reset.
Distance Travelled
This display shows the current
distance traveled in either miles (mi)
or kilometers (km) since the last
reset.
The measurement can be reset to
zero at any time and restarted.
See “Reset” later in this section.Average Speed
This display shows the average
speed of the vehicle in miles per
hour (mph) or kilometers per
hour (km/h). This average is
calculated based on the various
vehicle speeds recorded since
the last reset of this value.
The measurement can be reset to
zero at any time and restarted.
See “Reset” later in this section.
Trip Consumption
This display shows the number
of gallons (gal) or liters (l) of
fuel used since the last reset.
The measurement can be reset to
zero at any time and restarted.

DIC Warnings and
Messages (Base and
Uplevel Systems)
Messages are displayed on the DIC
to notify the driver that the status of
the vehicle has changed and that
some action may be needed by
the driver to correct the condition.
Multiple messages may appear
one after another.
The DIC monitors some uid levels,
battery of the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter, the theft-deterrent

be cleared. You should take any
messages that appear on the display
