Modes

AVG ECON (Average Economy): Shows your average
fuel economy since you last reset this mode. Average
fuel economy is viewed as a long term approximation of
your overall driving and driving conditions. To learn the
average fuel economy from a new starting point, press
the RESET button while the average fuel economy is
displayed in the DIC.

INSTANTANEOUS FUEL ECONOMY: Shows your
current fuel economy. Instantaneous fuel economy
varies with your driving conditions, such as
acceleration, braking and the grade of the road being
traveled. The instantaneous fuel economy display cannot
be reset, therefore the reset button has no effect while in
this mode.

OIL LIFE MONITOR: Shows an estimate of the oil’s
remaining useful life. When the oil life index is less than
10%, the CHANGE OIL SOON light will come on.
When you have the oil changed according to the
maintenance schedule (see “Maintenance Schedule” in
the Index), you will have to reset the CHANGE OIL
SOON light.

To reset the CHANGE OIL SOON light, see “Oil Life
System” in the Index.

Also, see “Engine Oil, When to Change” and
“Maintenance Schedule” in the Index.

RANGE: Shows the approximate distance you can
drive without refueling. This is based on the amount of
fuel in the tank and on the fuel economy of the most
recent 25 miles (40 km). Pressing RESET while in this
mode will have no effect.

BOOST GAGE: If you have the supercharged engine,
this gage will show the amount of boost your engine is
receiving. Pressing RESET while in this mode will have
no effect.
