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 10 miles (16 km)
estimated driving distance, the DTE display will change

continue until the vehicle runs out of fuel. Adding a
significant amount of fuel to the vehicle will turn off the
ЉLOW FUELЉ text and a new DTE value will display.
