or the battery power has been
interrupted, the distance to empty
function may not operate correct-
ly.
• The distance to empty may differ from the actual driving distance as
it is an estimate of the available
driving distance.
• The fuel economy and distance to empty may vary significantly
based on driving conditions, driv-
ing habits, and condition of the
vehicle.
Odometer
The odometer Indicates the total dis-
tance that the vehicle has been driv-

Range (Plug-in hybrid)
The range is the estimated dis-tance the vehicle can be driven
with the remaining high-voltage
(hybrid) battery (1, Electric) and
fuel in the fuel tank (2, Gasoline). If the estimated distance is below
1 mi. (1 km), the trip computer will
display “---” as distance to empty.
- Distance range: 1 ~ 510 mi. or 1 ~510 km
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• If the vehicle is not on level ground
or the battery power has been
interrupted, the range function
may not operate correctly.
• The range may differ from the actual driving distance as it is an
estimate of the available driving
distance.
• The trip computer may not register additional fuel if less than 1.6 gal-
lons (6 liters) of fuel are added to
the vehicle.
• The range may vary significantly based on driving conditions, driv-
ing habits, and condition of the
vehicle.
Fuel Economy
Average Fuel Economy (1)
The average fuel economy is calcu-
lated by the total driving distance
and fuel consumption since the last
average fuel economy reset.
