2. Driving range

3. Average fuel consumption

(“RANGE MI” or “RANGE km”)

(“AVG. MPG” or “AVG. L/100 km”)

The distance the vehicle can travel with

the remaining fuel is calculated and

displayed based on the quantity of re-

maining fuel and past fuel consumption.

Average fuel consumption is calculated

and displayed based on total driving

distance and total fuel consumption

with the engine running.

CY19138

The driving range display indicates the

approximate distance that you can drive

until the fuel gauge reaches “E”. It is

different from the actual distance traveled.

The displayed value is updated about ev-

ery 10 seconds.

To reset the calculation, push the

“RESET” button about 1 second.

The displayed value is updated about ev-

ery 10 seconds.

4. Average vehicle speed

(“AVG. MPH” or “AVG. km/h”)

Every time you refuel the vehicle, the cal-

culation is reset. However, when only a

small amount of fuel is added to the tank,

the display may not be reset.

Average vehicle speed is calculated and

displayed based on total driving dis-

tance and total driving time with the

engine running.

The direction is indicated on the inside

rear view mirror.

If the engine switch was turned off with

the system on, the system will automati-

cally turn back on when the engine switch

is turned on.

The actual driving range varies with driv-

ing habits and road conditions. If fuel con-

sumption is good, the driving range will be

longer than indicated. If fuel consumption

is poor, the driving range will be shorter

than indicated.

The displayed value is updated about ev-

ery 10 seconds.

To reset the calculation, push the

“RESET” button about 1 second.

Push the “

” switch to turn the compass

system on and off.

If the low fuel level warning light comes

on, refuel the vehicle even if the display

indicates that the vehicle can be driven

further.

The compass indicates the direction

that the vehicle is heading. In the

above case, it shows that the vehicle is

heading north.

D The vehicle is in a place where the

earth’s magnetic field is subject to in-

terference by artificial magnetic fields

(underground parking, under

steel

tower, between buildings, roof parking,

near a crossing, near a large vehicle,

etc.).

CALIBRATING THE COMPASS (deviation

calibration)

The direction display on the compass

deviates from the true direction deter-

mined by the earth’s magnetic field. The

angle of deviation varies according to the

geographic position of the vehicle.

To adjust this deviation, stop the vehicle,

then push and hold the “
