Dodge Avenger Owner's Manual page 189

The Trip Functions mode displays the following informa-
tion:
• Average Fuel Economy
Shows the average fuel economy since the last reset.
When the fuel economy is reset, the display will read,
"RESET" or show dashes for two seconds. Then, the
history information will be erased, and the averaging will
continue from the last fuel average reading before the
reset.
• Distance To Empty (DTE)
Shows the estimated distance that can be traveled with
the fuel remaining in the tank. This estimated distance is
determined by a weighted average of the instantaneous
and average fuel economy, according to the current fuel
tank level. DTE cannot be reset through the RESET
button.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 189
NOTE: Significant changes in driving style or vehicle
loading will greatly affect the actual drivable distance of
the vehicle, regardless of the DTE display value.
• When the DTE value is less than 30 miles (48 km)
estimated driving distance, the DTE display will
change to a text display of LOW FUEL. This display
will continue until the vehicle runs out of fuel. Adding
a significant amount of fuel to the vehicle will turn off
the LOW FUEL text and a new DTE value will
display.
• Elapsed Time
Shows the total elapsed time of travel since the last reset.
Elapsed time will increment when the ignition switch is
in the "ON" or "START" position.
• Display Units In:
To make your selection, press and release the RESET
button until "US" or "METRIC" appears.
