led distances, from home using tripmeter
and from a particular point on the way using
tripmeter .
To reset the tripmeter
To return the display to 0, hold down the multi-in-

3-11.Driving range display* E00521500219
This displays the approximate driving
range (how many more kilometres or
miles you can drive). When the driving
range falls below approximately 50 km
(30 miles), “---” is displayed.
Refuel as soon as possible.NOTE
l The remaining distance is based
on the previous fuel consumption
data. The actual distance will de-
pend on the driving conditions
(road conditions, how you drive,
etc.). When the battery terminal is
disconnected, the previous fuel
consumption data is erased. A val-
ue different from before may be
displayed. Treat the distance dis-
played as just a rough guideline.
l When you refuel, the driving
range display is updated.
However, if you only add a small
amount of fuel, the correct value
will not be displayed. Fill with a
full tank whenever possible.
l On rare occasions, the value dis-
played for the driving range may
change if you are parked on an ex-
tremely steep incline. This is due
to the movement of fuel in the
tank and does not indicate any mal-
function.Momentary fuel consumption
display* E00521800544
While driving, this displays the momen-
tary fuel consumption (in L/100 km ,
km/L or mpg). Calculation and indica-
tion of the value begin when the vehicle
speed rises above 6 km/h (4 mph).NOTE
l “
---” is displayed when the momen-
tary fuel consumption cannot be
measured.
l The display setting can be
changed to the preferred units
(L/100 km, km/L).
Refer to “Changing the function
settings (when the ignition switch
is “ON”)” on page 3-12.
l For vehicles equipped with multi-
information displays that show fig-
ures in miles, the fuel consump-
tion can only be displayed in
miles per gallon (“mpg”).Average fuel consumption dis-
play* E00521700729
This displays the average fuel consump-
tion (in L/100 km, km/L, or mpg) from
the last reset to the present time.
There are the following 2 mode settings.
For information on how to change the
average fuel consumption display set-
ting, refer to “Changing the function set-
tings (when the ignition switch is
“ON”)” on page 3-12.

Manual reset mode
l When the average fuel consump-
tion is being displayed, if you hold
down the MODE/SET switch, the

age speed displayed at that time
are reset.

age fuel consumption cannot be
measured.
l The initial (default) setting is “Au-
to reset mode”.
l The average fuel consumption de-
pends on the driving condition
(road condition, driving behavior,
etc.). The displayed fuel consump-
tion may vary from the actual fuel

sumption displayed as just a rough
guideline.l The memory of the auto reset
mode or manual reset mode for
the average fuel consumption dis-
play is erased if the battery is dis-
connected.
