### Trip Computer

The vehicle may have a trip computer. The trip computer provides information on driving data. This information is continually recorded and evaluated electronically. If power has been interrupted or if the battery voltage has dropped too low, the values stored in the trip computer will be lost.

To access trip computer vehicle data, do one of the following:

• | Press the BC button on the audio system.

• | Press the left thumbwheel, if your vehicle has this feature, on the steering wheel.

Once an audio function has been selected, the rows of the trip computer function are displayed.

The functions are displayed in the following order:

#### Instantaneous Consumption

This display shows the current fuel economy at a particular moment and will change frequently as driving conditions change. This display shows the instantaneous fuel economy in miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers (l/100 km).

The metric display changes depending on speed:

• | Below 8 mph (13 km/h), displays in l/h.

• | Above 8 mph (13 km/h), displays in l/100 km.

This screen cannot be reset.

#### Average Consumption

This display shows the approximate average miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers (l/100 km). This number is calculated based on the number of mpg (l/100 km) recorded since the last time this menu item was reset.

The measurement can be reset to zero at any time and restarted. See "Reset" later in this section.

#### Trip Consumption

This display shows the number of gallons (gal) or liters (l) of fuel used since the last reset.

The measurement can be reset to zero at any time and restarted. See "Reset" later in this section.

#### Average Speed

This display shows the average speed of the vehicle in miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h). This average is calculated based on the various vehicle speeds recorded since the last reset of this value.

The measurement can be reset to zero at any time and restarted. See "Reset" later in this section.

#### Distance Travelled

This display shows the current distance traveled in either miles (mi) or kilometers (km) since the last reset.

The measurement can be reset to zero at any time and restarted. See "Reset" later in this section.

#### Range

This display shows the approximate number of remaining miles (mi) or kilometers (km) the vehicle can be driven without refueling.

The message "Range" displays if less than 31 mi (50 km) can be driven with the fuel remaining in the tank. The message "Refuel!" displays when approximately 19 mi (30 km) can be driven with the fuel remaining in the tank. With less than 19 mi (30 km) worth of fuel remaining the range display will show "- -" once the "Refuel!" message has been acknowledged.

See DIC Warnings and Messages for information on acknowledging the message.

The fuel range estimate is based on an average of the vehicle's fuel economy over recent driving history and the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank. This estimate will change if driving conditions change. For example, if driving in traffic and making frequent stops, this display may read one number, but if the vehicle is driven on a freeway, the number may change even though the same amount of fuel is in the fuel tank. This is because different driving conditions produce different fuel economies. Generally, freeway driving produces better fuel economy than city driving. Fuel range cannot be reset.

#### Stop Watch

This display can be used as a timer.

To start or stop the timer, press the right arrow on the audio system.

To reset the timer, press the left arrow until the value returns to zero.

If your vehicle has the left thumbwheel on the steering wheel, you can start or stop the timer by pressing the thumbwheel.

#### Reset

The following trip computer information can be reset:

• | Average consumption

• | Trip consumption

• | Average speed

• | Distance travelled

To reset the value:

1. Select the desired trip computer information.
2. Press the OK button on the audio system, or press the left thumbwheel, if your vehicle has this feature, on the steering wheel:

• | To reset the current value, press and hold briefly.

• | To reset all values, press for six seconds.
