4-16 Instruments and Controls
Fuel Economy Gauge
US
The gauge shows the fuel economy
that the vehicle is currently
achieving.
MIN: Is the minimum fuel economy.
This least efficient fuel economy
usually occurs during quick
accelerations or when idling.
MAX: Is the maximum fuel
economy. The best fuel economy
usually occurs during coasting.
This gauge moves often as it is an
instantaneous calculation based on
current driving conditions.
Canada
The gauge shows the fuel usage
that the vehicle is currently
achieving in liters per
100 kilometers (¹/100 km).
20: Is the minimum fuel economy.
This least efficient fuel economy
usually occurs during quick
accelerations or when idling.
¹/100: Is the maximum fuel
economy. The best fuel economy
usually occurs during coasting.
This gauge moves often as it is an
instantaneous calculation based on
current driving conditions.
Turbo Gauge
For vehicles with a turbo gauge, it
indicates when the vehicle is using
turbo power.
When the needle is in the white
area (left) of the gauge, turbo is not
being used.
As the accelerator peddle is
pressed the needle may move into
the red area (right) of the gauge.
This is normal and means that the
vehicle is using turbo power. Once
the driver eases off the accelerator
pedal or the transmission shifts, the
needle moves back into the white
area of the gauge.
