0 220.
Tire Pressure : Displays the
approximate pressures of all four
tires. Tire pressure is displayed in
either kilopascal (kPa) or in pounds
per square inch (psi). If the pressure
is low, the value for that tire is
shown in amber.
See Tire Pressure Monitor System
0 252 andTire Pressure Monitor
Operation 0253.
Fuel Economy : The right hand
side displays the best average fuel
economy (AFE) that is achieved for
a selected distance. The left hand
side displays a running average of
fuel economy for the most recently
traveled selected distance. The
center bar graph displays the
instantaneous fuel economy. Press
the
Tbutton to display a page for
selecting one of the distance
options. Move the up/down arrow to
choose the selection, and
Vto
change the setting. When viewing best AFE, a several second press
and hold of
Vwill reset the best
value. The best value will show “- -
-“ until the selected distance has
been traveled. The display provides
feedback on how current driving
behavior in the bar graph affects the
running average in the left display
and how well recent driving
compares to the best that has been
achieved.
Fuel Used and Timer : Displays
the approximate liters (L) or
gallons (gal) of fuel that have been
used since last reset. The fuel used
can be reset by pressing the
T
button while the Fuel Used display
is showing.
To start the timer, press
Vwhile this

Following Distance/Gap Setting :
When Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) is not engaged, the current
follow time to the vehicle ahead is
displayed as a time value on this
page. When ACC has been
engaged, the display switches to the
gap setting page. This page shows
the current gap setting.
See Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
System 0198 andAdaptive Cruise
Control 0188.
Economy Trend : Displays history
of the Average Fuel Economy from
the last 50 km (30 miles). Each bar
represents about 5 km (3 miles) of
driving. The fuel economy will range
from 0 –15 L/100 km (0 –50 mpg).
During driving the bars will shift to
always reflect the most recent
distance on the right side. This
display cannot be reset.
Eco Index : The bar graph on the
left hand side provides feedback on
the efficiency of current driving
