Fuel Range
Press the trip/fuel button until FUEL RANGE displays.This display shows the approximate number ofremaining miles (mi) or kilometers (km) the vehicle canbe driven without refueling. The display will show LOWif the fuel level is low.
The fuel range estimate is based on an average of thevehicle's fuel economy over recent driving history andthe amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank. Thisestimate will change if driving conditions change.For example, if driving in traffic and making frequentstops, this display may read one number, but if thevehicle is driven on a freeway, the number may changeeven though the same amount of fuel is in the fuel tank.This is because different driving conditions producedifferent fuel economies. Generally, freeway drivingproduces better fuel economy than city driving. Fuelrange cannot be reset.
Average Economy
Press the trip/fuel button until AVERAGE ECONOMYdisplays. This display shows the approximate averagemiles per gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers(L/100 km).
