system engaged to display a stabilized average.

Dist to empty (DTE)
This function estimates
approximately how far you can drive
with the fuel remaining in your tank
under normal driving conditions.
Remember to turn the ignition OFF
when refueling your vehicle.
Otherwise, the display will not show
the addition of fuel for a few
kilometers (miles).
At least 9.5 liters (2.5 gallons) of fuel must be added for DTE to
immediately show new distance.
