Fuel Gage
The fuel gage shows
approximately how
much fuel is in the fuel
tank. It works only
when the engine is on.
If the fuel supply gets low, the “FUEL LEVEL
LOW” message will appear on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) and a single chime will

page 220for more information.
213

All of the following situations are normal and do
not indicate that anything is wrong with the
fuel gage:
At the gas station the gas pump shuts off
before the gage reads full.
The gage may change when you turn, stop
quickly or accelerate quickly.
It takes a little more or less fuel to ll the tank
than the gage indicated. For example, the gage
may have indicated that the tank was half full,
but it actually took a little more or less than half
the tank’s capacity to ll the tank.
Driver Information Center (DIC)
The Driver Information Center (DIC) gives you the
status of many of your vehicle’s systems. The DIC
is also used to display warning/status messages.
All messages will appear in the DIC display located
at the bottom of the instrument panel cluster, below
the tachometer and speedometer. The DIC buttons
are located on the instrument panel, to the left of
the steering wheel.
The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a
short delay, the DIC will display the information
that was last displayed before the engine was
turned off.
The top line of the DIC display shows the vehicle
system information and the warning/status
messages. The bottom line of the DIC display
shows the odometer on the left side, the outside
air temperature on the right side, and the shift
position indicator in the center. For more
information on the shift position indicator, see
Automatic Transmission Operation on page 122.
214

When the sport mode is active, an S will appear
next to the shift position indicator on the center of
the DIC display. When the manual mode is
active, an M will appear on the DIC display. When
the normal mode is active, only the shift position
indicator will appear. While the Driver Shift Control
(DSC) feature is active, the DIC will change to
show the selected gear. See″Driver Shift Control
(DSC)″underAutomatic Transmission Operation
on page 122for more information.
If a problem is detected, a warning message will
appear on the display. Be sure to take any
message that appears on the display seriously
and remember that clearing the message will only
make the message disappear, not correct the
problem.DIC Controls and Displays
The Driver Information
Center (DIC) has
different displays which
can be accessed by
pressing the DIC
buttons located on the
instrument panel, to
the left of the steering
wheel.

Trip/Fuel Display Menu Items
3
(Trip/Fuel):The following display menu
items can be displayed by pressing the trip/fuel
button:
TRIP A or TRIP B
These displays show the current distance traveled
since the last reset for each trip odometer in
either miles (mi) or kilometers (km). Both
odometers can be used at the same time. Each
trip odometer can be reset to zero separately
by pressing and holding the set/reset button for a
few seconds while the desired trip odometer is
displayed.
FUEL RANGE
This display shows the approximate number of
remaining miles (mi) or kilometers (km) you
can drive without relling your fuel tank. This
estimate is based on the current driving conditions
and will change if the driving conditions change.
For example, if you are driving in traffic and
making frequent stops, the display may read one
number, but if you enter the freeway, the
number may change even though you still have
the same amount of fuel in the fuel tank. This
is because different driving conditions produce
different fuel economies. Generally, freeway
driving produces better fuel economy than city
driving.
Once the range drops below about 30 miles
(48 km) remaining, the display will show FUEL
RANGE LOW.
If your vehicle is low on fuel, the FUEL LEVEL
LOW message will be displayed. See “FUEL
LEVEL LOW” underDIC Warnings and Messages
on page 220for more information.
216

AVERAGE ECONOMY (AFE)
This display shows the approximate average
miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per

recorded since the last time this display was
reset. To reset this display, press the set/reset
button. The display will return to zero.
INST (Instantaneous) ECONOMY (IFE)
This display shows the current fuel economy in
either miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per
100 kilometers (L/100 km). This number reects
only the fuel economy that the vehicle has
right now and will change frequently as driving
conditions change. Unlike average economy, this
display cannot be reset.
FUEL USED
This display shows the number of gallons (gal) or
liters (L) of fuel used since the last reset of this
display. To reset this display, press the set/reset
button. The display will return to zero.

This display can be used like a stopwatch. You
can record the time it takes to travel from one point
to another. To access the timer, press the
trip/fuel button until 00:00:00 TIMER OFF displays.

until TIMER ON displays. The timer will then start.
To turn off the timer, press the set/reset button
again until TIMER OFF displays. The timer
will stop and display the end timing value.
To reset the timer, press and hold the set/reset
button after the timer has been stopped. The
display will return to zero.
AVERAGE SPEED
This display shows the average speed of the
vehicle in either miles per hour (mph) or kilometers
per hour (km/h). This average is calculated
based on the various vehicle speeds recorded
since the last reset of this display. To reset
this display, press the set/reset button. The display
will return to zero.

When the oil life is depleted, the CHANGE
ENGINE OIL SOON message will appear on the
display. You should change your oil as soon
as possible. In addition to the engine oil life system
monitoring the oil life, additional maintenance is

manual. SeeScheduled Maintenance on
page 471andEngine Oil on page 360.
Remember, you must reset the OIL LIFE yourself
after each oil change. It will not reset itself.
Also, be careful not to reset the OIL LIFE
accidentally at any time other than when the oil
