If a problem is detected, a diagnostic message will
appear on the display. Press RESET to acknowledge
any current warning or service messages. The following
pages will show the messages you can see on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) display by pressing the
DIC buttons.
1 FUEL
The FUEL button displays average fuel economy and
instantaneous fuel economy calculated for your specific
driving conditions and range.
Press the FUEL button to display average fuel economy,
such as:

AVERAGE 20.1 MPG or

AVERAGE 5.3 L/100 km

2-96
The average fuel economy is viewed as a long-term
approximation of your overall driving conditions.
If you press RESET in this mode while you're
driving, the system will begin figuring fuel economy
from that point in time.
Press FUEL again to display instantaneous fuel
economy, such as:

INST. 20.1 MPG or

INST. 5.3 L/100 km
Press FUEL again to display the range, such as:

RANGE 20 MI or

RANGE 32 km
The range calculates the remaining distance you can
drive without refueling. It's based on fuel economy and
the fuel remaining in the tank.
If the range is lower than 30 miles (48 km), the display
will read RANGE LOW.
The fuel economy data used to determine fuel range is
an average of recent driving conditions. As your driving
conditions change, this data is gradually updated.
Resetting the fuel range causes the fuel economy data
to be updated immediately. Press RESET to reset the
fuel range.2 GAGES

such as ELAP. TIME 00:00:00.00.
When the ignition is in ON, the Driver Information
Center (DIC) can be used as a stopwatch. The display

a second. The elapsed time indicator will record up to
99 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds, then it will reset

Press reset in this mode to start calculating the average
speed. Press and hold RESET to clear.Engine Oil Life
Press the TRIP button until the engine oil life is
displayed, such as OIL LIFE REMAIN 89%.
This is an estimate of the engine oil's remaining useful
life. It will show 99% when the system is reset after
an oil change. It will alert you to change your oil on
a schedule consistent with your driving conditions.
When the remaining oil life is low, the system will alert
you with the message CHANGE OIL SOON.
When the oil life is down to zero, you will receive the
message CHANGE OIL NOW.
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 has just been changed.
It can't be reset accurately until the next oil change.
To reset the system, see ªHow to Reset the Change
Oil Soon Messageº in the Index.
Also, see ªEngine Oil, When to Changeº and
ªMaintenance Scheduleº in the Index.

a speed of greater than 15 mph (24 km/h), the sensors
begin to send the tire pressure readings to a receiver
inside the vehicle. These readings are displayed when
using the GAGES button on the DIC. If you are
unable to display your tire pressures while the vehicle
speed is greater than 15 mph (24 km/h), you may
need to have your sensor ID codes learned by the
