102 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Average Fuel Economy (AVG ECO)

Shows the average fuel economy since the last reset. This
display mode becomes less sensitive to instantaneous
changes in fuel consumption as the number of total
vehicle miles since the last reset increases. It is suggested
that this mode be reset periodically for general operation
or when driving conditions change significantly (for
example, at the end of a trip or when a trailer is
connected or disconnected) to make the displayed aver-
age fuel economy a more meaningful number.

Distance To Empty (DTE)

Shows the estimated distance that can be travelled with
the fuel remaining in the tank. The estimated distance is
determined by a weighted average of the instantaneous
and average fuel economy, according to the current fuel
tank level.
When Distance To Empty = 0, the fuel gauge pointer will
initially be on the left edge of the red "E" marker. At this
point (fuel gauge pointer on the left edge of the red "E"
marker) there is reserve fuel capacity, which corresponds
to approximately 8% of tank volume. This reserve capac-
ity was put in place to prevent the likelihood of custom-
ers running out of fuel when operating at maximum load
conditions in areas where there aren't many gas stations.
NOTE: The Distance To Empty will remain equal to
zero, until the vehicle runs out of fuel or is refueled.
Ram SRT-10 fuel tank volume is as follows:
• 26 gallons

Trip Odometer (ODO)

This display shows the distance traveled since the last
reset.
