TRIP DISTANCE
[IS17600(ALL)01/96]
Your trip distance is the distance you have traveled since the
last reset. To display your current trip distance, press the
SELECT button until the pointer is at TRIP DISTANCE. To reset
the trip distance to zero, press the RESET button while the
pointer is at TRIP DISTANCE. You may want to use this feature
to see how far you have traveled on a particular trip.
[IS17700(ALL)01/96]
If you do not reset your trip distance, the display will roll over
to zero when it passes 1999 miles or kilometers. If you switch
from miles to kilometers after you have passed 1242 miles
(1999 kilometers), you must add 2000 to the kilometers display
for actual distance traveled. The display will then roll over to
zero when it passes 1218 kilometers (3218 kilometers or 1999
miles traveled) whether you select English or metric units. If the
display is in metric units when you pass 1999 kilometers (1242
miles), both English and metric trip distances will roll over to
zero.
% [IS17800(ALL)01/96]
INSTANT ECONOMY
[IS17900(ALL)01/96]
Your instantaneous fuel economy is your vehicle's fuel economy
over the last one second of driving. To display your
instantaneous fuel economy, press SELECT until the pointer is
at INSTANT ECONOMY. Your instantaneous fuel economy
changes with your driving conditions. Factors affecting fuel
economy include braking, acceleration, and road terrain. You
may want to use this feature to see how your driving habits
affect your fuel economy. INSTANT ECONOMY is not
resettable.
[IS18000(ALL)01/96]
Your instantaneous fuel economy can vary from 0 to 99 miles
per gallon or from 99 to 2 liters per 100 kilometers when your
vehicle is moving. When your vehicle is not moving, fuel
economy is displayed as 0 miles per gallon or as a number of
liters per hour. In the metric mode, instantaneous fuel economy
will display in liters per hour when your vehicle speed drops
below 5 km/h and will stay in liters per hour until your speed
exceeds 7 km/h.

AVERAGE ECONOMY
[IS18200(ALL)01/96]
Your average fuel economy is the average value of your fuel
economy since the last reset. To display your average fuel
economy, press SELECT until the pointer is at AVERAGE
ECONOMY. The fuel computer calculates average fuel economy
from the distance traveled and the fuel used (as reported by the
Electronic Engine Control module). Press the RESET button
when AVERAGE ECONOMY is selected to reset the average
fuel economy. You may want to use this feature to see how
your fuel economy changes each day or for each tank of fuel.
[IS18300(ALL)01/96]
If you calculate your fuel economy based on the odometer
distance traveled and the amount of fuel you pump into the
tank, your number may be different than the fuel computer
number for various reasons. Most likely, the top level of fuel
added may be different between fill-ups, causing an incorrect
estimate of the amount of fuel used.
% [IS18400(ALL)01/96]
DISTANCE TO EMPTY
[IS18500(ALL)01/96]
Your distance to empty is the approximate number of miles or
kilometers that you can drive before you run out of fuel. To
display your distance to empty, press SELECT until the pointer
is at DISTANCE TO EMPTY. The fuel computer calculates
distance to empty from the amount of fuel in the tank and an
internally determined fuel economy value, which is not the
same as the AVERAGE ECONOMY number. DISTANCE TO
EMPTY is not resettable. You may want to use this feature to
plan when your next fuel fill-up should be.
[IS18600(ALL)01/96]
Your distance to empty may change faster or slower than actual
distance traveled because your fuel economy varies with
changing driving conditions.

[IS18700(ALL)01/96]
The fuel computer will automatically warn you when your
distance to empty is low. When your distance to empty reaches
50 miles (80 km), 25 miles (40 km) and 10 miles (20 km), the
fuel computer will automatically select DISTANCE TO EMPTY,
flash the number for five seconds, and sound a one second
chime.
[IS18800(ALL)01/96]
If the Distance to Empty function displays CO or CS, you must
have the fuel indication system serviced.
[IS18900(ALL)01/96]
Turn your ignition to OFF while fueling to obtain an accurate
distance to empty reading. If you do not turn your ignition off,
the fuel computer will not display the new distance to empty
immediately, but will slowly increase to the correct value.
[IS19000(ALL)01/96]
AVERAGE SPEED
[IS19100(ALL)01/96]
Your average speed is the average speed your vehicle has
traveled while the ignition was ON since the last reset. To
display your average speed, press SELECT until the pointer is at
AVERAGE SPEED. Press the RESET button when AVERAGE
SPEED is selected to reset the average speed. You may want to
use this feature to see what your average speed is during daily
driving or on a long trip.
