The DTE function will display LOW FUEL LEVEL when you have

approximately 20–25 miles (32–40 km) to empty. If you RESET this

warning message, this display and tone will return within 10 minutes.

DTE is calculated using a running average fuel economy, which is based

on your recent driving history of 500 miles (800 km). This value is not

the same as the average fuel economy display. The running average fuel

economy is reinitialized to a factory default value if the battery is

disconnected.

Average fuel economy (AFE)

Select this function from the INFO

menu to display your average fuel

economy in miles/gallon or liters/100

km.

If you calculate your average fuel

economy by dividing gallons of fuel

used by gallons of fuel used by 100 miles traveled (kilometers traveled

by liters used), your figure may be different than displayed for the

following reasons:

• Your vehicle was not perfectly level during fill-up

• Differences in the automatic shut-off points on the fuel pumps at

service stations

• Variations in top-off procedure from one fill-up to another

• Rounding of the displayed values to the nearest 0.1 gallon (liter)

1. Drive the vehicle at least 5 miles (8 km) with the speed control

system engaged to display a stabilized average.

2. Record the highway fuel economy for future reference.

It is important to press the RESET control after setting the speed

control to get accurate highway fuel economy readings.

For more information refer to Fuel Information in the Maintenance

and Specifications chapter.

Fuel Used

Selecting this function from the

INFO menu. XX.X G USED will

display the fuel used since last

reset. The information displayed will

be in gallons or liters, depending on

English/metric mode state.
