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

MILES RANGE/Fuel Range: If you select this item,

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
