Distance to empty (km or mi.)
(if equipped) This mode indicates the estimated dis- tance to empty based on the current fuelin the fuel tank and the amount of fuel
delivered to the engine. When the
remaining distance is below 50 km (30
miles), “---” will be displayed.
The meter’s working range is from 50 to999 km (30 to 999 miles). Average fuel consumption (if equipped)
(L/100 km or MPG)
This mode calculates the average fuel consumption from the total fuel used and

sumption reset. The total fuel used is cal-culated from the fuel consumption input.
For an accurate calculation, drive morethan 50 m (0.03 miles).
Pressing the TRIP/RESET button for
more than 1 second, when the average
fuel consumption is being displayed,
clears the average fuel consumption to
zero (---).
If the vehicle speed exceeds 1 km/h after refueled more than 6
l, the average fuel
consumption will be cleared to zero (---). Average refuel consumption (if equipped) (
l/100 km or MPG)
This mode calculates the average fuelconsumption from the total fuel used andthe distance since the last tank refuel.The total fuel used is calculated from the
fuel consumption input. For an accurate
