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.

Press the trip/fuel button until FUEL USED displays.
This display shows the number of gallons (gal) or

Timer
Press the trip/fuel button until TIMER displays.
This display can be used as a timer.
To start the timer, press the set/reset button while

of time that has passed since the timer was last
reset, not including time the ignition is off. Time will
continue to be counted as long as the ignition is
on, even if another display is being shown on the
DIC. The timer will record up to 99 hours, 59 minutes
and 59 seconds (99:59:59) after which the display

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 announcements.This system relies upon receiving specic information
from these stations and only works when the information
is available. In rare cases, a radio station could broadcast
incorrect information that causes 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 display instead of the frequency.
RDS stations can also provide the time of day, a program
type (PTY) for current programming, and the name of the
program being broadcast.
The RDS function does not work with XM™.
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 displays. The announcement should be heard,
even if the volume is low or a CD or DVD is playing.
If a CD or DVD is playing, play stops during the
announcement. Alert announcements cannot be turned
off. If the radio tunes to a related network station for
the announcement, it returns to the original station
when the announcement ends.
ALERT is not affected by tests of the emergency
broadcast system. This feature is not supported by
all RDS stations.

Care of Your CDs
If playing a CD-R, the sound quality can 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. Handle them carefully.
Store CD-R(s) in their original cases or other protective
cases and away from direct sunlight and dust. The
CD and DVD player scans the bottom surface of the
disc. If the surface of a CD is damaged, such as
cracked, broken, or scratched, the CD does not play
properly or not at all. Do not touch the bottom side of a
CD while handling it; this could damage the surface.
Pick up CDs by grasping the outer edges or the edge
of the hole and the outer edge.
If the surface of a CD is soiled, take a soft, lint free cloth
or dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent
solution mixed with water, and clean it. Make sure the
wiping process starts from the center to the edge.
