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
interrupted or if the battery voltage
has dropped too low, the values
stored in the trip computer will
be lost.
The trip computer main page
provides information on range and
instantaneous consumption.
To access other trip computer
vehicle data, do one of the following:
Press the BC button on the
audio system, if your vehicle has
this feature.
Press the left thumbwheel, if your
vehicle has this feature, on the
steering wheel.
Select the trip computer menu
front display.The functions are displayed in the
following order:
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 miles (50 km) can
be driven with the fuel remaining
in the tank.
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 drivenon 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.
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.
