Distance To Empty (Dte); Average Fuel Economy / Fuel Saver Mode - If Equipped - Dodge Ram 2010 Owner's Manual

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 RETURN
button.
NOTE: Significant changes in driving style or vehicle
loading will greatly affect the actual drivable distance of
the vehicle, regardless of the DTE displayed value.
When the DTE value is less than 30 miles (48 km)
estimated driving distance, the DTE display will change
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 227
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.
Average Fuel Economy / Fuel Saver Mode — If
Equipped
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.
