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 to allow this feature
to correctly detect the added fuel.
The DTE function will flash for 5
seconds and sound a tone for 1 second when you have approximately:
•
50 miles (80 km) left before you run out of fuel
•
25 miles (40 km)
•
10 miles (16 km)
