The fuel data panel tells you all you need to know about
the fuel economy and how far you can travel with the
fuel remaining.
Press the
AVG button to display the average
mile-per-gallon
(AVG MPG). You can also display it in
metric units by pressing the ENG MET button. 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.
