Distance to empty (DTE)
Selecting this function from the
INFO menu estimates approximately
how far you can drive with the fuel
remaining in your tank under
normal driving conditions.
Remember to turn the ignition OFF
when refueling to allow this feature
to correctly detect the added fuel.
DTE is calculated using a running average fuel economy, which is based
on your recent driving history of 500 miles (800 km). This value is not
the same as the average fuel economy display. The running average fuel
economy is reinitialized to a factory default value if the battery is
disconnected.
Average Fuel Economy (AFE)
Select this function from the INFO
menu to display your average fuel
economy in 100 miles/gallon or
liters/100 km.
If you calculate your average fuel
economy by dividing gallons of fuel
used by 100 miles traveled (kilometers traveled by liters used), your
figure may be different than displayed for the following reasons:
•your vehicle was not perfectly level during fill-up
•differences in the automatic shut-off points on the fuel pumps at
service stations

System warnings alert you to possible problems or malfunctions in your
vehicle’s operating systems.
In the event of a multiple warning situation, the message center will

The message center will display the last selected feature if there are no
more warning messages. This allows you to use the full functionality of
the message center after you acknowledge the warning by pressing the
RESET control and clearing the warning message.
Warning messages that have been reset are divided into three categories:
•They will reappear on the display ten minutes from the reset.
•They will not reappear until an ignition OFF-ON cycle has been
completed.
•Warning returns upon another event.
This acts as a reminder that these warning conditions still exist within
the vehicle.

POWER LIFTGATE (PLG) (IF EQUIPPED)
With this option, you can power open or close the liftgate with the
provided controls.
•overhead console button
•remote entry transmitter button
•outside release handle
•liftgate trim-mounted switch (closing)
Opening and Closing the PLG:
The PLG controls will operate without having the key in the ignition. The
transaxle must be in PARK to power operate the PLG, when the key is in
the ignition and turned to the ON position. When the liftgate is being
power closed, a chime will sound three times before the liftgate begins to
power close. A single chime indicates a problem with the close request.
A faster chime indicates there is an excessive load on the liftgate (snow,
bike rack, etc.) or a possible strut malfunction. If the excessive load is
removed and you still have a faster chime, have the system serviced
immediately by your authorized dealer.
WARNING: Make sure all persons are clear of the power liftgate
area before using the power liftgate controls to open or close the
liftgate.
Keep the keys out of the reach of children. Do not allow children
to play on or near an open or moving power liftgate.
Exercise care, when power opening or closing the PLG in a garage or
other enclosed area with a low ceiling or close to a wall/garage door. The
PLG could be damaged from the contact.
Do not attempt to manually force the PLG to travel faster than the
power system will permit.
When power operating the PLG at temperatures below 32° F (0° C), the
PLG may stop about 5 inches (12.7 cm) from the full open position. The
PLG can be fully opened by pushing it upward to the maximum open
position.
