▼Cylinder Deact ivat ion
The cylinder deactivation is a function
designed to reduce fuel consumption
and improve fuel economy by
deactivating 2 out of the 4 cylinders
while driving. The function constantly
determines which is better for driving;
4 cylinders or 2 cylinders, regardless of
the driver's operations, and it performs
the switching automatically.

does not operate under the following
conditions.

▼Distance-to-empty
This displays the approximate distance
you can travel on the remaining fuel
based on the fuel economy.
The distance-to-empty will be
calculated and displayed every second.

NOTE
Even though the distance-to-empty
display may indicate a su
fficient
amount of remaining driving distance
before refueling is required, refuel as
soon as possible if the fuel level is
very low or the low fuel warning light
illuminates.
The display will not change unless
you add more than approximately 9
L (2.3 US gal, 1.9 Imp gal) of fuel.
The distance-to-empty is the
approximate remaining distance the
vehicle can be driven until all the
graduation marks in the fuel gauge
indicating the remaining fuel supply
disappear.
If there is no past fuel economy
information such as after first
purchasing your vehicle or the
information is deleted when the
battery cables are disconnected, the
actual distance-to empty/range may di ffer from the amount indicated.
▼ Average Fuel Economy
The average fuel economy is calculated
every 30 seconds from the total
traveled distance on the trip meter and
the total fuel consumption, and the
average fuel economy for either drive
information display is displayed.
The average fuel economy is also
displayed by a red arrow in the
instantaneous fuel economy display.

The average fuel economy and trip
meters can be reset by pressing the
INFO switch for 1.5 seconds or more
while in each mode. After the data is
cleared, the fuel consumption is
recalculated and the - - - L/100 km
(- - - mpg) for the 30 seconds prior to
it being displayed is indicated.
▼Current Fuel Economy
This displays the current fuel economy
by calculating the amount of fuel
consumption and the distance
traveled.
