miles (kilometers), use the trip odometer. Simply
set the trip odometer to zero by pressing the
reset control firmly when beginning the distance
you wish to measure.
[IS20600( ALL)04/96]
Since the trip odometer displays distance
independent of the odometer it will not always
advance to the next mile (kilometer) at the same
time as the odometer.

[MC33400( ALL)12/95]Calculating Fuel Economy
*
[MC33500( ALL)01/96]
Fuel economy is an estimate of the efficiency of
your vehicle, and can be calculated as Miles Per
Gallon (MPG) or Liters Per 100 Kilometers
(L/100K).
*
[MC33600( ALL)01/96]
Do not calculate fuel economy during your
vehicle's break-in period. This would not be an
accurate estimate of how much fuel your vehicle
will normally use.
*
[MC33700( ALL)01/96]
To calculate fuel economy:
*
[MC33800( ALL)01/96]
1. Fill the fuel tank completely and record the
initial odometer reading.
*
[MC33900( ALL)01/96]
2. Every time you buy fuel, record the
amount (in gallons or liters) purchased.
*
[MC34000( ALL)01/96]
3. After at least 3-5 tankfuls, fill the fuel tank
and record the final odometer reading.
*
[MC34100( ALL)01/96]
4. Use these equations to calculate your fuel
economy:
*

English: MPG = (total miles driven)v
(gallons used)
*
[MC34300( ALL)01/96]

Metric: L/100k = (liters used)v
