Use the information button to scroll through the following options:
ODOMETER: This feature shows how far the vehicle has been driven
in either miles (mi) or kilometers (km). Use the ENG/METRIC feature
to switch between English and Metric units.
TRIP A: This feature will record the distance traveled since
the last time it was reset. Press and hold the RESET button to return to zero. If
the vehicle is first sold in the United States, the trip odometer will return to zero
after 999.9 miles (1 609 km). If the vehicle is first sold in
Canada, the trip odometer will return to zero after 1,242 miles (1 999 km).
TRIP B: This feature allows you to record the distance traveled
during a second trip and functions the same as TRIP A.
RANGE xxx MI: This feature shows about how many miles (mi)
or kilometers (km) you can drive without refilling the fuel tank. Once the
range drops below 40 miles (64 km) remaining, the display will show
LOW.
If the vehicle has been idling for a long time, the range displayed
on the DIC could be abnormally low. The vehicle must be driven 5-10 miles (8-16 km)
to get an accurate reading.
AVERAGE xx.x MPG (Average Miles Per Gallon): This feature shows
the approximate fuel economy the vehicle has averaged since the last time the value
was reset. To reset the average miles per gallon, press the information button to
display AVERAGE xx.x MPG, then press and hold the RESET button until
AVERAGE 00.0 MPG is displayed.
INST xx.x MPG (Instantaneous Miles Per Gallon): This feature
shows the instantaneous fuel economy which varies with your driving conditions, such
as acceleration, braking, and the grade of the road being traveled. The RESET button
does not function in this mode.
AVERAGE SPEED: This feature shows the average speed the vehicle
has traveled since the last time the value was reset. To reset the value, press the
information button to display AVERAGE SPEED, then press and hold the RESET button
until AVERAGE SPEED 00.0 is displayed.
ELAPSED TIME: This feature is like a stopwatch, in that you
can clock the time it takes to get from one point to another.
To operate,
press the information button to display ELAPSED TIME. Each of the fields for the hours,
minutes, and seconds are two numeric digits.
Once ELAPSED TIME 00:00:00 is displayed, press the RESET button to start
the timing feature. Press the RESET button again to stop it. If you will be starting
and stopping the vehicle, during a trip for instance, the ELAPSED TIME feature will
automatically start timing where it left off when you last stopped. To reset it, press
and hold the RESET button until the display reads ELAPSED TIME 00:00:00. Press
the information button to exit from the ELAPSED TIME display.
FRONT Lxx Rxx PSI: This feature shows the tire pressure for
the front left and right tires.
