For additional information regarding the compass, refer
to Personal Settings (Customer Programmable Features)
in this section.

Average Fuel Economy

Shows the average fuel economy since the last reset.
When the fuel economy is reset, the display will read
“RESET” or show dashes for two seconds. Then, the
history information will be erased, and the averaging will
continue from where it was before the reset.

Distance To Empty (DTE)

Shows the estimated distance that can be travelled with
the fuel remaining in the tank. This estimated distance is
determined by a weighted average of the instantaneous
and average fuel economy, according to the current fuel
tank level. This is not resettable.

NOTE:

Significant changes in driving style or vehicle

loading will greatly affect the actual drivable distance of
the vehicle, regardless of the DTE displayed value.

When the DTE value is less than 30 miles estimated
driving distance, the DTE display will change to a text
display of

⬙

LOW FUEL

⬙

. This display will continue until

the vehicle runs out of fuel. Adding a significant amount
of fuel to the vehicle will turn off the

⬙

LOW FUEL

⬙

text

and a new DTE value will be displayed, based on the
current values in the DTE calculation and the current fuel
tank level.

Elapsed Time

Shows the total elapsed time of travel since the last reset
when the ignition switch is in the ACC position. Elapsed
time will increment when the ignition switch is in the ON
or START position.

Personal Settings (Customer Programmable
Features)

This allows the driver to set and recall features when the
transmission is in PARK (automatic transmission) or the
vehicle is stopped (manual transmissions).
