Instantaneous fuel consumption

U.S.A.

Canada
Instantaneous fuel consumption is calculated and
displayed based on distance and fuel consumption for 2
seconds with the engine running.
The displayed value is updated every 2 seconds.
Note that an accurate figure may not be shown in the following
cases.
 When the vehicle is stopped with the engine running, the
display will indicate extremely high fuel consumption.
 When the vehicle is driving down a long slope, with the
engine brake applied, the display will indicate extremely low
fuel consumption.

Driving range

U.S.A.

Canada
The distance the vehicle can travel with the remaining fuel
is calculated and displayed based on the quantity of
remaining fuel and past fuel consumption.
The driving range display indicates the approximate distance
that you can drive until the fuel gauge reaches ªEº. It is dif ferent
from the actual distance traveled.
The displayed value is updated every time the fuel required to
travel 1 mile or 1 km is consumed.
Every time you refuel the vehicle, the calculation is reset.
The actual driving range varies with driving habits and road
conditions. If fuel consumption is good, the driving range will
be longer. If fuel consumption is poor, the driving range will be
shorter.
If the low fuel level warning light comes on, refuel even if the
display indicates that the vehicle can be driven further.

Barometer

U.S.A.

Canada
In barometer mode, the atmospheric pressure in the
vehicle is displayed.
The displayed atmospheric pressure ranges from 17.8 IN.HG
(600 hPa) up to 31.0 IN.HG (1050 hPa).
The displayed value is updated every 2 seconds.
The displayed value may deviate from the actual atmospheric

Altimeter

U.S.A.

Canada
In altimeter mode, the approximate altitude is displayed.
The displayed altitude ranges from ±1500 ft. (±500 m) up to
13000 ft. (4000 m).
As the altitude value is converted from the atmospheric
pressure, it can be easily affected by air motion and
temperature, so the indication may vary. The indicated altitude
of a single position may deviate according to the atmospheric
pressure and temperature.
The displayed value is updated every 2 seconds.
RECTIFICATION OF THE ALTITUDE
Rectification is valid only when the correct altitude is known.
While the altitude mode is on the display, push the ª
º or ªº
button to increase or decrease the altitude by 50 ft. (10 m).
To reset the rectified altitude, push and hold the ªRESETº
button for more than 1 second.
