This shows your vehicle's average
fuel economy in mpg (U.S.) or 1/100
km (Canada) since you last reset the

average fuel economy for that trip
meter also resets.Odometer
The odometer shows the total
distance your vehicle has been
driven. It measures miles in U.S.

federal law and Canadian provincial/
territorial regulations to disconnect,
reset, or alter the odometer with the
intent to change the number of miles
or kilometers indicated.
Fuel Gauge
This shows how much fuel you have.
It may show slightly more or less
than the actual amount. The needle
returns to the bottom after you turn
off the ignition.
Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire, damaging
the catalytic converter.Check Fuel Cap Indicator
If the fuel fill cap is loose or missing,a
‘‘CHECK FUEL CAP ’’message
appears on the information display
after you start the engine. The
message changes from CHECK, to
FUEL, to CAP repeatedly.
Turn the engine off and confirm the
fuel fill cap is installed. If it is, loosen
the cap, then retighten it until it
clicks at least once. You can cycle the
message off of the display by
pressing the select/reset knob
repeatedly, but this message will be
displayed each time the engine is
started. It will take several days of
normal driving for the vehicle to turn
the warning off.
