When the fuel economy is reset, the display will momen-
tarily blank. Then, the history will be erased, and the
AVERAGING WILL CONTINUE FROM WHERE IT
WAS BEFORE THE RESET
. The reset value is based on
a minimal amount of fuel used and the distance traveled
from the previous drive cycle. The display
may take
several miles/kilometers
for this value to change depen-
dent upon driving habits.
Distance To Empty (DTE)
The distance to empty (DTE) shows the estimated dis-
tance that can be traveled with the fuel remaining in the
tank. This estimated distance is determined by weighted
average of the instantaneous and average fuel economy,
according to the current fuel tank level.
NOTE:
•
The DTE
cannot
be reset.
•
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 (48 km)
estimated driving distance, the DTE display will change
to an alternating test display of “LO” and “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 “LO 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.
NOTE:
It is possible for DTE to display “LO FUEL”
before the low fuel warning light turns on in the instru-
ment cluster. This could occur because low fuel warning
is set to a specified fuel tank volume and DTE is an
estimated distance calculation based on fuel economy
and remaining fuel tank volume.
Ram fuel tank volumes are as follows:
•
34 gal (128 L) - 2500/3500/Power Wagon short box
models
•
35 gal (132 L) - 2500/3500//Power Wagon long box
models
