FUEL ECONOMY SCREEN
The fuel economy screen displays
instantaneous fuel consumption,
overall average fuel economy and
also a graph of fuel economy
achieved in the last 15 minutes of
driving. To view this screen, select
‘Show Fuel Economy’ on the ‘HEV’
tab screen.
• Instantaneous Fuel Economy
(Inst Econ): This is displayed on
the vertical bar on the left of the screen ranging from 0–60 mpg. Your
vehicle must be moving to calculate instantaneous fuel economy. When
the vehicle is not moving, the Ins Econ function will display no bar on
the Inst Cons graph indicating 0 mpg. Conversely, if you are driving in
electric mode (Engine off), this function will display 60 mpg.
Instantaneous Economy cannot be reset.
• Overall Average Fuel Economy (AVG MPG): The AVG MPG is
displayed on the upper left hand corner of the screen. The AVG MPG
will be retained when the key is turned OFF and will continue
averaging when driving resumes. Pressing RESET will reset the AVG
MPG to zero.
• One minute average graph: The graph is updated each minute with
the fuel economy that was achieved during the prior minute of driving.
Each new one minute average will be added to the left side of the
graph, shifting the past data to the right. When the graph area is full,
the right most point will be deleted, keeping a running scroll from left
to right of the last 15 minutes of driving. The graph is intended to
provide a graphical representation of how driving habits/conditions can
affect fuel economy. Note that the graph will be cleared anytime the
key is turned out of RUN (however, the overall average fuel economy
will retain its value). Press RESET to clear the graph.
If the Navigation system has been set to units of Kilometer, the Fuel
Economy screen will display the equivalent Consumption Graph in units
of L/1000 KM. In Consumption (L/1000 KM) mode, the IFE function will
display MAX until the vehicle is moving. For more information on
Average Fuel Economy, refer to Message centerin theDriver Controls
chapter in your Owner’s Guide.
