SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on page 3-8.
Fuel Gage
When the indicator nears empty, you still have a little
fuel left, but you should get more soon.Your fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have
left when the ignition is on.
Here are four things some owners ask about. All these
things are normal and do not indicate that anything
is wrong with the fuel gage.
At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before
the gage reads full.
It takes a little more (or less) fuel to ll up than the
gage reads. For example, the gage read half full,
but it took more (or less) than half of the tank’s
capacity to ll it.
The gage pointer may move while cornering,
braking or speeding up.
The gage may not indicate empty when the ignition
is turned off.
Low Fuel Warning Light
The light next to the fuel gage will come on briey when
you are starting the engine.
This light comes on when the fuel tank is low on fuel.
To turn it off, add fuel to the fuel tank.

Time Elapsed
Press the information button until TIME ELAPSED :00
displays. This mode is like a stopwatch, in that you can
clock the time it takes to get from one point to another.
Each of the elds for the hours, minutes, and seconds
are two numeric digits.
Once TIME ELAPSED :00 is displayed, press the
set/reset button to start the timing feature. Press the
set/reset button again to stop it. If you will be starting
and stopping your vehicle, during a trip for instance, the
TIME ELAPSED feature will automatically start timing
where it left off when you last stopped. To reset it,
press and hold the set/reset button for approximately
1.5 seconds. The display will return to zero.
Average Speed
Press the information button until AVERAGE SPEED
displays. This mode 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 speed recorded since the last reset
of this value. To reset the value, press the information
button to display AVERAGE SPEED, then press
and hold the set/reset button. The display will return
to zero.
Fuel Range
Press the information 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 travelled, 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 3-51for more information.
