or miles per gallon (mpg).. This
number is calculated based on
the number of L/100 km (mpg)
recorded since the last time
this menu item was reset. This
number reflects only the
approximate average fuel
economy that the vehicle has
right now, and will change as
driving conditions change. The
Average Fuel Economy can be

selecting yes or no while this
display is active.
Fuel Range :
Shows the
approximate distance the
vehicle can be driven without

economy over recent driving
history and the amount of fuel
remaining in the fuel tank.
Oil Life :
Shows an estimate of
the oil's remaining useful life.
If REMAINING OIL LIFE 99% is
displayed, that means 99% of
the current oil life remains.
When the remaining oil life is
low, the CHANGE ENGINE OIL

the display. The oil should be
changed as soon as possible.
See Engine Oil 0345. In
addition to the engine oil life
system monitoring the oil life,
additional maintenance is
recommended. See

deep enough to show
cord or fabric.
.The tire has a bump,
bulge, or split.

Tire Rotation
Tires should be rotated
according to the interval
specified in the
Maintenance Schedule. See
Maintenance Schedule
0429.
Tires are rotated to
achieve a more uniform
wear for all tires. The first
rotation is the most
important. Anytime unusual wear is
noticed, rotate the tires as
soon as possible, check for
proper tire inflation
pressure, and check for
damaged tires or wheels.
If the unusual wear
continues after the
rotation, check the wheel
alignment. See When It Is
Time for New Tires
0394
and Wheel Replacement
0 399.
Use this rotation pattern
when rotating the tires. Do not include the compact
spare tire in the tire
rotation.
Adjust the front and rear
tires to the recommended
inflation pressure on the
Tire and Loading
Information label after the
tires have been rotated.
See Tire Pressure
0384
and Vehicle Load Limits
0 247.
Reset the Tire Pressure
Monitor System. See Tire
Pressure Monitor
Operation 0388.
Check that all wheel nuts
are properly tightened. See
“Wheel Nut Torque” under
Capacities and
Specifications 0438, and
“Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire”
under Tire Changing 0402.
