The RKE will also be disabled at this point. The RKE
will reactivate when a door or the trunk is opened,
however,
if your vehicle is left inactive for another
20 minutes the RKE will re-enter the storage mode.
Your vehicle will stay in the storage mode until the
ignition key
is turned out of LOCK. The system will
“wake-up” when the
door key is inserted into the door
however, your vehicle will remain in the storage mode.
The ignition must be out of

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When AVG MPG is selected, the total distance is
divided by the total fuel used.
When the INST button (Instantaneous Fuel Economy)
is
selected, you will see what the fuel economy is at that
instant. The computer takes a new reading twice every second. It will show economy up to
70 miles-per-gallon
(or
2 L per 100 km).
To reset the average fuel economy, press the
INFORMATION button until the AVG MPG is
displayed on the
DIC. Press and hold the RESET
button until both the fuel data center and DIC display
reads
0.0.
The RANGE display shows how far the computer thinks
you can travel with the fuel that is in the tank. The
computer does not
know what driving conditions will be
like for the rest of your trip, so the range is estimated
based on the recent fuel economy. Therefore, the range
reading may change as your driving habits change.
Going from city to highway driving may increase the
range reading.
If the range display shows
LO, you should stop for fuel
as
soon as possible. Your computer needs enough data
for the
RANGE reading to work.
Driver Information Center (DIC)
The DIC display gives you the status of many of your
vehicle's systems. The
DIC is used to display driver
selectable information and warning/status messages.
If more than one problem is detected, the
DIC will
automatically display all current messages.
