When Driving
Instrument Cluster and Display
Distance-to-empty
This displays the approximate distance
you can travel on the remaining fuel based
on the fuel economy.
The distance-to-empty will be calculated
and displayed every second.
NOTE
Even though the distance-to-empty
display may indicate a suf cient
amount of remaining driving distance
before refuelling is required, refuel
as soon as possible if the fuel level
is very low or the low fuel warning
light illuminates.
The display will not change unless
you add more than approximately 9 L
(2.3 US gal, 1.9 Imp gal) of fuel.
The distance-to-empty is the
approximate remaining distance the
vehicle can be driven until all the
graduation marks in the fuel gauge
indicating the remaining fuel supply
disappear.
If there is no past fuel economy
information such as after rst
purchasing your vehicle or the
information is deleted when the
battery leads are disconnected, the
actual distance-to empty/range may
differ from the amount indicated.

by calculating the amount of fuel
consumption and the distance travelled.
Current fuel economy will be calculated
and displayed every two seconds.
When you've slowed to about 5 km/h (3
mph), - - - L/100 km (- - - mpg) will be
displayed.
