Distance to empty (DTE) + Fuel
gauge + Bar tachometer
•Distance to empty (DTE): Shows approximate fuel level before the
fuel tank reaches empty. The value is dynamic and can change (raise
or lower) depending on driving style.
•Fuel gauge: Indicates approximately how much fuel is left in the fuel
tank. The fuel gauge may vary slightly when the vehicle is in motion
or on a grade. When the fuel level becomes low (50 miles [80 km] to
empty), the level indicator will change to amber. When the fuel level
becomes critically low (0 miles [0 km] to empty), the level indicator
will change to red.
Note:When a MyKeyis in use, low fuel warnings will display earlier
.
•Bar tachometer: Indicates the engine speed in revolutions per minute.
Driving with your tachometer pointer continuously at the top of the
scale may damage the engine.
Note:You can also choose to have only the fuel gauge show in this
mode. Refer toDisplay>Gauge Displayfound in the table under the
Settingssection later in this chapter.

until the last screen is reached. The white highlighted box indicates
which of the screens you are currently viewing:
Inst. Fuel Economy
Shown with vertical bar tachometer
enabled
•This display shows a visual graph
of your instantaneous fuel
economy. Press the right arrow to
reach the other fuel displays and
press the left arrow once to
return to the previous display.
Press and hold OK to reset the
currently displayed fuel information.
XX Min Fuel History
Shown with vertical bar tachometer

5, 10 or 30 minutes. To configure
the fuel history, press the right
arrow button when in this screen.
Press and hold OK to reset the
currently displayed fuel
information.
If you calculate your average fuel economy by dividing miles traveled by
gallons of fuel used (liters of fuel used by 100 kilometers traveled), your
figure may be different than displayed for the following reasons:
•Your vehicle was not perfectly level during fill-up.
•Differences in the automatic shut-off points on the fuel pumps at
service stations.
•Variations in top-off procedure from one fill-up to another.
•Rounding of the displayed values to the nearest 0.1 gallon (liter).
To determine your average highway fuel economy, do the following:
1. Drive the vehicle at least 5 miles (8 km) with the speed control
system engaged to display a stabilized average.
2. Record the highway fuel economy for future reference.
It is important to reset fuel economy after setting the speed control to
get accurate highway fuel economy readings.

SYSTEM WARNINGS AND STATUS MESSAGES
System warnings alert you to possible problems or malfunctions in your
vehicle’s operating systems.
Note:Depending on the vehicle options equipped with your vehicle, not
all of the messages will display or be available. Some messages may read
differently also, depending on the options your vehicle has.
In the event of a multiple warning situation, the message center will
cycle the display to show all warnings by displaying each one for four
seconds.
The message center will display the last selected feature if there are no
more warning messages.
Types of messages and warnings:
•Some messages will appear briefly to inform you of something you
may need to take action on or be informed of.
•Some messages will appear once and then again when the vehicle is
restarted.
•Some messages will reappear after clearing or being reset if a problem
or condition is still present and needs your attention.
•Some messages can be acknowledged and reset by pressing OK. This
allows you to use the full message center functionality by clearing the
message.
