Message center functions
Fuel econ (Average fuel economy)
Select this function to display your
average fuel economy in
liters/100 km or miles/gallon.
If you calculate your average fuel
economy by dividing liters of fuel
used by 100 kilometers traveled
(miles traveled by gallons used),
your figure may be different than
displayed for the following reasons:
²your vehicle was not perfectly level during fill-up
²differences in the automatic shut-off points on the fuel pumps at
service stations
²variations in top-off procedure from one fill-up to another
²rounding of the displayed values to the nearest 0.1 liter (gallon)

message center display
The following procedure will allow you to accurately monitor your actual
highway fuel economy. Since this procedure requires the vehicle speed
control system to be set to highway speeds, it must be run only on
suitable roadways where long distance speed control can be safely
maintained.
