Status Menu Item Descriptions
The following paragraphs contain a more detailed
description of each menu item:
BLANK LINE/Blank Display: If you select this item,
nothing is displayed at the top of the screen.
OUTSIDE TEMP/Outside Temperature: If you select
this item, the current outside temperature is displayed at
the top of the screen. It will be in either degrees
Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius depending upon whether
the system is set for English or metric units. If you wish
to change the units, see ªEnglish/Metric Unitsº in the
Index.
MI TRIP A and B/Trip Odometer A and B: For
information on the trip odometers, see ªTrip Odometerº
listed previously in this section.
MPG AVG/Average Fuel Economy: If you select this
item, the approximate average miles per gallon (mpg) or
kilometers per liter (km/L) is displayed. This number is
calculated based on the number of mpg (km/L) recorded
since the last time this menu item was reset.
To reset the MPG AVG using the base audio system,
press the CLR button located in the center of the INFO
button to the right of the screen. The display will return
to zero.To reset the Average Fuel Economy using the
Navigation system, press and hold the multi
-function
button that corresponds to the Reset prompt in the upper
right of the display. The display will return to zero.
MPG INST/Instantaneous Fuel Economy: If you
select this item, the current fuel economy is displayed.
This number reflects only the fuel economy that the
vehicle has right now and will change frequently as
driving conditions change. Unlike average fuel
economy, this menu item cannot be reset.
GAL FUEL USED/Fuel Used: If you select this item,
the number of gallons of fuel used since the last reset of
this menu item is displayed.
To reset GAL FUEL USED using the base audio system,
press the CLR button located in the center of the INFO
button to the right of the screen. The display will return
to zero.
To reset Fuel Used using the Navigation system, press

MILES RANGE/Fuel Range: If you select this item,
the approximate number of remaining miles or
kilometers you can drive without refueling is displayed.
This estimate is based on the current driving conditions
and will change if the driving conditions change. For
example, if you are driving in traffic making frequent
stops, the display may read one number, but if you enter
the freeway, the number may change even though you
still have the same amount of gas in the gas tank. This is
because different driving conditions produce different
fuel economies. Generally, freeway driving produces
better fuel economy than city driving.
If your vehicle is low on fuel, the Low Fuel Level
message will be displayed. See ªLow Fuel Level
Messageº in the Index for more information.
AVG MPH/Average Vehicle Speed: If you select this
item, the average speed of the vehicle is displayed 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 menu item.
To reset AVG MPH using the base audio system, press
the CLR button located in the center of the INFO button
to the right of the screen. The display will return to zero.To reset the Average Vehicle Speed using the Navigation
system, press and hold the multi
-function button that
corresponds to the Reset prompt in the upper right of the
display. The display will return to zero.
TIMER/Timer: If you select this item, a timing feature
is displayed. The timer functions like a stopwatch in that

-function button next
to the On/Off menu item in the upper right of the
display. The display for both systems will read 00:00:00
TIMER ON and begin counting.

timer is off, the display will show the timer value and
TIMER OFF. The timing feature will stop.
To reset the timer using the base audio system, turn off
the timer and then press and hold the CLR button. The
display will return to zero.

the multi
