The trip odometer can be reset to zero by pressing
the set/reset button while the trip odometer is
displayed.
Fuel Range
Press the trip/fuel button until FUEL RANGE
displays. This display shows the approximate
number of remaining miles (mi) or kilometers (km)
the vehicle can be driven without refueling. The
display will show LOW if the fuel level is low.
The fuel range estimate is based on an average
of the vehicle’s fuel economy over recent
driving history and the amount of fuel remaining
in the fuel tank. This estimate will change if driving
conditions change. For example, if driving in
traffic and making frequent stops, this display
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.
Average Economy
Press the trip/fuel button until AVERAGE
ECONOMY displays. This display shows the
approximate average miles per gallon (mpg) or
liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km). This number
is calculated based on the number of mpg
(L/100 km) recorded since the last time this menu
item was reset. To reset AVERAGE ECONOMY,
press and hold the set/reset button.
Fuel Used
Press the trip/fuel button until FUEL USED
displays. This display shows the number of
gallons (gal) or liters (L) of fuel used since the last
reset of this menu item. To reset the fuel used
information, press and hold the set/reset button
while FUEL USED is displayed.

RDS features are available for use only on FM
stations that broadcast RDS information.
With RDS, the radio can do the following:
Seek to stations broadcasting the selected
type of programming
Receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies
Display messages from radio stations
Seek to stations with traffic announcementsThis system relies upon receiving specic
information from these stations and will only
work when the information is available. In rare
cases, a radio station may broadcast incorrect
information that will cause the radio features
to work improperly. If this happens, contact the
radio station.
While the radio is tuned to an RDS station, the
station name or call letters will appear on the
display instead of the frequency. RDS stations may
also provide the time of day, a program type (PTY)
for current programming, and the name of the
program being broadcast.
RDS Messages
ALERT:Alert warns of local and national
emergencies. When, an alert announcement comes
on the current radio station or a related network
station, ALERT will appear on the display. You will
hear the announcement, even if the volume is low
or a CD or DVD is playing. If a CD or DVD is
playing, play will stop during the announcement.
Alert announcements cannot be turned off. If the
radio tunes to a related network station for the
announcement, it will return to the original station
when the announcement is nished.

Using the Six-Disc CD Changer
The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8 cm)
single CDs with an adapter ring. Full-size CDs
and the smaller CDs are loaded in the same
manner.
If playing a CD-R, the sound quality may be
reduced due to CD-R quality, the method of
recording, the quality of the music that has been
recorded, and the way the CD-R has been
handled. There may be an increase in skipping,
difficulty in nding tracks, and/or difficulty in loading
and ejecting. If these problems occur, check the
bottom surface of the CD. If the surface of the CD
is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or
scratched, the CD will not play properly.
