When the INST button (Instantaneous Fuel Economy) is selected, you
will see what your fuel economy is at that instant. The computer takes a
new reading twice every second. It will show economy up to
70
miles per
gallon (or 2 liters per 100 kilometers).
To
reset the average fuel economy, press the INFORMATION button
until the AVG MPG
is
displayed on the Driver Information Center
(DIC). Press and hold the RESET button until both the Fuel Data Center
and DIC display reads 0.0. Another method to reset the average fuel
economy
is
to press the AVG button to display the average miles per
gallon. Then press the
RESET
button followed by the AVG button
to
reset this calculation.
The RANGE display shows how far the computer thinks you can travel
with the fuel that is in your tank. The computer does not know what
driving conditions will be like for the rest
of
your trip, so the range is
estimated based on your recent fuel economy. Therefore, your range
reading may change as your driving habits change. (Going from city to
highway driving may increase the range reading.)
If the range display shows LO, you should stop for fuel as soon as
possible.
Your computer needs enough data for the
RANGE reading to work,
however,
so
it will read LO when your vehicle is brand new (under
25 miles). It may also show LO
if your battery has been disconnected.
Driver Information Center
Your Driver Information Center (DIC) display gives you the status of
many of your vehicle's systems.
The DIC is used to display driver selectable information and
warnindstatus messages.
If more than one problem is detected, the Driver Information Center will
automatically display all current messages.
