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 differ from
the amount indicated.
▼Average Fuel Economy
The average fuel economy is calculated
every minute from the total traveled
distance on the trip meter and the total fuel
consumption, and the average fuel
economy for either TRIP A or TRIP B is
displayed.

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 1 minute prior
to it being displa yed is indicated.
▼Current Fuel Economy
This displays the current fuel economy by
calculating the amount of fuel
consumption and the distance traveled.
Current fuel economy will be calculated
and displayed every two seconds.

When you've slowed to about 5 km/h (3
mph), - - - L/100 km (- - - mpg) will be
displayed.

ALC (Automatic volume adjustment)
The automatic level control (ALC) is a
feature that automatically adjusts audio
volume according to the vehicle speed.
The volume increases in accordance with
the increase in vehicle speed, and
decreases as vehicle speed decreases.

Bose AudioPilot (N
oise compensation
technology)
When driving, background noise can
interfere with enjoying music.
AudioPilot
*3 noise compensation
technology continuously adjusts the music
to compensate for background noise and
vehicle speed.
It reacts only to sustained noise sources
and not intermittent ones, such as speed
bumps.
An enhanced DSP algorithm allows faster
and more effective compensation for
unusual situations, such as driving on a
very rough road or at high speeds.
In addition, a system is equipped which
switches the audio to the optimum
acoustics corresponding to the opening
and closing of the soft top/roof.
The acoustic switching function is linked
to the operation of the top lock lever/
retractable hardtop switch and audio
playback is muted for about 1 second
while switching.
