Trip Computer
The vehicle may have a trip
computer. The trip computer
provides information on driving data.
This information is continually
recorded and evaluated
electronically. If power has been

be lost.
To access trip computer vehicle
data, do one of the following:
Press the BC button on the audio
system.
Press the left thumbwheel, if your
vehicle has this feature, on the
steering wheel.
Once an audio function has been
selected, the rows of the trip
computer function are displayed.The functions are displayed in the
following order:
Instantaneous Consumption
This display shows the current fuel
economy at a particular moment and
will change frequently as driving
conditions change. This display
shows the instantaneous fuel
economy in miles per gallon (mpg) or
liters per 100 kilometers (l/100 km).
The metric display changes
depending on speed:
Below 8 mph (13 km/h),
displays in l/h.
Above 8 mph (13 km/h),
displays in l/100 km.
This screen cannot be reset.
Average Consumption
This display shows the approximate
average miles per gallon (mpg) or
liters per 100 kilometers (l/100 km).
This number is calculated based on
the number of mpg (l/100 km)
recorded since the last time this
menu item was reset.The measurement can be reset to
zero at any time and restarted.

Distance Travelled
This display shows the current
distance traveled in either
miles (mi) or kilometers (km) since
the last reset.
The measurement can be reset to
zero at any time and restarted.
See “Reset” later in this section.
Range
This display shows the approximate
number of remaining miles (mi)
or kilometers (km) the vehicle can
be driven without refueling.
The message “Range” displays if
less than 31 mi (50 km) can be
driven with the fuel remaining in
the tank. The message “Refuel!”
displays when approximately
19 mi (30 km) can be driven with
the fuel remaining in the tank.With less than 19 mi (30 km)
worth of fuel remaining the range
display will show “- -” once the
“Refuel!” message has been
acknowledged.
SeeDIC Warnings and Messages
(Base and Uplevel Systems) on
page 4-36for information on
acknowledging the message.
The fuel range estimate is based on
an average of the vehicle’s fuel
economy over recent driving history
and the amount of fuel remaining
in the fuel tank. This estimate
will change if driving conditions
change. For example, if driving
in traffic and making frequent stops,
this display may read one number,
but if the vehicle is driven on a
freeway, the number may change
even though the same amount
of fuel is in the fuel tank.This is because different driving
conditions produce different fuel
economies. Generally, freeway
driving produces better fuel
economy than city driving.
Fuel range cannot be reset.
Stop Watch
This display can be used as a timer.
To start or stop the timer, press
the right arrow on the audio system.
To reset the timer, press the left
arrow until the value returns to zero.
If your vehicle has the left
thumbwheel on the steering wheel,
you can start or stop the timer
by pressing the thumbwheel.
