Instantaneous Economy and Active Fuel
Management™ Indicator
If your vehicle has this display, press the trip/fuel
button until INST ECONOMY V8 MODE
displays. This display shows the current fuel
economy at a particular moment and will change
frequently as driving conditions change. This
display shows the instantaneous fuel economy in
miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per
100 kilometers (L/100 km). Unlike average
economy, this screen cannot be reset.
An Active Fuel Management™ indicator will
display on the right side of the DIC, while
INST ECONOMY displays on the left side. Active
Fuel Management™ allows the engine to
operate on either four or eight cylinders, depending
on your driving demands. When Active Fuel
Management™ is active, V4 MODE will display on
the DIC. When Active Fuel Management™ is
inactive, V8 MODE will display. See Active Fuel
Management™ on page 145 for more information.

Oil Life
Press the vehicle information button until OIL LIFE
REMAINING displays. This display shows an
estimate of the oil’s remaining useful life. If you see
99% OIL LIFE REMAINING on the display, that
means 99% of the current oil life remains. The
engine oil life system will alert you to change your
oil on a schedule consistent with your driving
conditions.
When the remaining oil life is low, the CHANGE
ENGINE OIL SOON message will appear on the
display. See “CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON” under
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 285. You
should change your oil as soon as you can. See
Engine Oil (Gasoline Engine) on page 508. In
addition to the engine oil life system monitoring the
oil life, additional maintenance is recommended in
the Maintenance Schedule in this manual. See
Scheduled Maintenance (Gasoline Engine) on
page 633 for more information.
