play shows the last value of average fuel
consumption when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ACC” or “ON” position.
Unless you reset the value of average fuel
consumption, the display will show the
value of average fuel consumption which
includes average fuel consumption during
previous driving.
To reset the value of average fuel con-
sumption, hold in the “DISP” button (6) for

When the remaining fuel in fuel tank
reaches a low level, the display “--.-” will
appear.
If the low fuel warning light comes on, fill
the fuel tank immediately regardless of the
value of driving range shown in the display.
As the driving range after refueling is cal-
culated based on the last driving condition,
the value is different each time you refuel.
NOTE:
 When you reconnect the negative (-) ter-
minal to the battery, the value of driving
range will be shown after driving for a
while.
 For a new vehicle with low mileage, the
driving range may not be shown
promptly in the display when begining to
drive. The driving range will be shown
after a while.
