instantaneous fuel economy.
When the vehicle is not moving,

bar on the IFE graph indicating
0 mpg. Conversely, if you are driving in electric mode (Engine off),
this function will display MAX. IFE cannot be reset.
• Average Fuel Economy (AFE): The AFE is displayed on the white
bar across the graph. The AFE will be retained when the key is turned
OFF, and will continue averaging when driving resumes. Pressing
RESET will reset the AFE to zero.
• One minute average graph: The graph is updated each minute with
the fuel economy that was achieved during the prior minute of driving.
Each new one minute average will be added to the left side of the
graph, shifting the past data to the right. When the graph area is full,
the right most point will be deleted, keeping a running scroll from left
to right of the last 15 minutes of driving. The graph is intended to
provide a graphical representation of how driving habits/conditions can
affect fuel economy. Note that the graph will be cleared anytime the
