Vehicle Information Menu Item
Descriptions
The following paragraphs contain a more detailed
description of each menu item:
OUTSIDE TEMP: If you select this item, the current
outside temperature is displayed at the top of the
screen. It will be in either degrees Fahrenheit or degrees
Celsius depending upon whether the system is set for
English or metric units. If you wish to change the
units, see DIC Main Menu on page 3-53.
MI TRIP A and B: For information on the trip
odometers, see Trip Odometers on page 3-35.
MILES RANGE: If you select this item, the approximate
number of remaining miles or kilometers you can
drive without refueling is displayed. This estimate is
based on the current driving conditions and will change
if the driving conditions change. For example, if you
are driving in traffic making frequent stops, the display
may read one number, but if you enter the freeway,
the number may change even though you still have the
same amount of gas in the gas tank. This is because
different driving conditions produce different fuel
economies. Generally, freeway driving produces better
fuel economy than city driving.
3-50
If your vehicle is low on fuel, the Fuel Level Low
message will be displayed. See "Fuel Level Low" under
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-57 for more
information.
MPG AVG: If you select this item, the approximate
average miles per gallon (mpg) or Liters per
100 kilometers (L/100km) is displayed. This number is
calculated based on the number of mpg (L/100km)
recorded since the last time this menu item was reset.
To reset the MPG AVG, press the CLR button located to
the right of the screen. The display will return to zero.
MPG INST: If you select this item, the current fuel
economy is displayed. This number reflects only the fuel
economy that the vehicle has right now and will change
frequently as driving conditions change. Unlike average
fuel economy, this menu item cannot be reset.
GAL FUEL USED: If you select this item, the number
of gallons or liters of fuel used since the last reset of this
menu item is displayed.
To reset GAL FUEL USED, press the CLR button
located to the right of the screen. The display will
return to zero.
