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.
