Switches for the trip computer are located on the right side of the combination meter panel. To operate the trip computer, push the side or front of the switches as shown above.
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON position, modes of the trip computer can be selected by pushing the switch A .
Each time the switch A is pushed, the display will change as follows: Current fuel consumption Average fuel consumption and speed Elapsed time and trip odometer Distance to empty (dte) Outside air temperature (ICY) Setting Warning check
1. Current fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption mode shows the current fuel consumption.
2. Average fuel consumption (MPG or l (liter)/100 km) and speed (MPH or km/h)
Fuel consumption:
The average fuel consumption mode shows the average fuel consumption since the last reset. Resetting is done by pushing the switch B for longer than 1 second.
(The average speed is also reset at the same time.) The display is updated every 30 seconds.
At about the first 1/3 mile (500 m) after a reset, the display shows “——”.
Speed:
The average speed mode shows the average vehicle speed since the last reset.
Resetting is done by pushing the switch B for longer than 1 second.
(The average fuel consumption is also reset at the same time.) The display is updated every 30 seconds.

3. Elapsed time and trip odometer (mls or km)
Elapsed time:

Trip odometer:
The trip odometer mode shows the total distance the vehicle has been driven since the last reset. Resetting is done by pushing the switch B for longer than 1 second. (The elapsed time is also reset at the same time.)
4. Distance to empty (dte — mls or km)
The distance to empty (dte) mode provides you with an estimation of the distance that can be driven before refueling. The dte is constantly being calculated, based on the amount of fuel in the fuel tank and the actual fuel consumption.
The display is updated every 30 seconds.
The dte mode includes a low range warning feature. If the fuel level is low, the warning is displayed on the screen.
When the fuel level drops even lower, the dte display will change to “——”.
• If the amount of fuel added is small, the display just before the ignition switch is pushed to the OFF position may continue to be displayed.
• When driving uphill or rounding curves, the fuel in the tank shifts, which may momentarily change the display.
5. Outside air temperature (ICY — °F or °C)
The outside air temperature is displayed in °F or °C in the range of −22 to 131°F (−30 to 55°C).
The outside air temperature mode includes a low temperature warning feature. If the outside air temperature is below 37°F (3°C), the warning is displayed on the screen.
The outside temperature sensor is located in front of the radiator. The sensor may be affected by road or engine heat, wind directions and other driving conditions.
The display may differ from the actual outside temperature or the temperature displayed on various signs or billboards
