Distance To Empty (DTE)

Shows the estimated distance that can be traveled 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 (48 km)

estimated driving distance, the DTE display will change

to a text display of ЉLOW FUEL.Љ This display will

continue until the vehicle runs out of fuel. Adding a

significant amount of fuel to the vehicle will turn off the
Љ

LOW FUELЉ text and a new DTE value will be dis-

played, based on the current values in the DTE calcula-

tion and the current fuel tank level.

Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)

Refer to “Starting And Operating,” “Tire Pressure Moni-

toring System (TPMS)” for system operation.

Elapsed Time

Shows the total elapsed time of travel since the last reset.

Elapsed time will increment when the ignition switch is

in the RUN/START position.
Elapsed time is displayed as follows:
hours: minutes: seconds
Elapsed time can be reset by pushing and holding the

RIGHT arrow button (as prompted in the EVIC display).

Upon reset, all digits will change to zeros, and time will

start incrementing again if the ignition switch is in RUN

or START.
