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. DTE cannot be reset through the RIGHT arrow

button.

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 “LOW FUEL” message. This display will continue

until the vehicle runs out of fuel. Adding a significant

amount of fuel to the vehicle will turn off the “LOW

FUEL” message and a new DTE value will display.
Miles Per Gallon (MPG)
This display shows the instantaneous MPG in bar graph

form while driving. This will monitor the gas mileage in

real-time as you drive and can be used to modify driving

habits in order to increase fuel economy.
