Average fuel consumptionE00509300057
This value shows the average fuel consumption (in L/100km,
km/L or mpg).
NOTE●When the ignition switch is turned on, the average fuel
consumption which was being displayed when the igni-
tion switch was previously turned off will be displayed
once again.
● Average fuel consumption va ries according to the condi-
tions under which a vehicle is travelling (road conditions,
the manner in which the vehicle is being driven, etc.).
Observe this display for reference because the fuel con-
sumption display may differ from the actual fuel con-
sumption. To reset the display

turned to the “OFF” or “ACC” position, the display is
automatically reset. It then shows “---”.
● Manual reset mode
If you reset the display at the time when you want to start
the measurements, average fu el consumption from that
point of time can be displayed.
Push the “DISP” button for more than 5 seconds.
NOTE● While the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
automatic reset mode is perm anently selected. If you wish

NOTE●If the driving range drops below 50 km (30 miles) while
the driving range is displaye d, the display shows “---”.
When this occurs, top up the fu el tank as soon as possible.
● The driving range varies depending on road conditions,
the manner of driving and other related factors. Conse-
quently, the display should be used only as a guide. It is
recommended that you add fuel as soon as the low fuel
warning lamp in the instrument cluster illuminates.
(Refer to “Low fuel warning lamp” on page 3-6.)
● Refueling will update the driving range indication.
● The driving range displayed is based on previous fuel con-
sumption data. Disconnecting the battery cable will result
in the deletion of existing fuel consumption data, which
will affect the unit’s calculations.
● The driving range figure can occasionally increase if the
vehicle is stopped on an inclin e. This is because the fuel
has moved in the tank because of the incline and is not
considered to be a fault.
Average speedE00509500059
This value shows the average speed (in km/h or mph) since the
display was reset. Refer to “To reset the display” on page 3-22.
