Compass/Temperature/Audio

Press and release the EVIC button to display one of eight
compass headings to indicate the direction the vehicle is
facing, the outside temperature, and the current radio
station.

For additional information regarding the compass, refer
to

“Personal

Settings

(Customer-Programmable

Features)”.

Average Fuel Economy

Shows the average fuel economy since the last reset.
When the fuel economy is reset, the display will read
“RESET” or show dashes for two seconds. Then, the
history information will be erased, and the averaging will
continue from the last fuel reading before the reset.

Distance To Empty (DTE)

Shows the estimated distance that can be travelled 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 FUELЉ. This display will

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 be dis-
played, based on the current values in the DTE calcula-
tion and the current fuel tank level.
