Average fuel economy (AFE)

Select this function from the INFO

menu to display your average fuel

economy in liters/100 km or

miles/U.S. gallon.

If you calculate your average fuel

economy by dividing gallons of fuel

used by 100 miles traveled (kilometers traveled by liters used), your

figure may be different than displayed for the following reasons:

• Your vehicle was not perfectly level during fill-up

• Differences in the automatic shut-off points on the fuel pumps at

service stations

• Variations in top-off procedure from one fill-up to another

• Rounding of the displayed values to the nearest 0.1 gallon (liter)

1. Drive the vehicle at least 8 km (5 miles) with the speed control

system engaged to display a stabilized average.

2. Record the highway fuel economy for future reference.

It is important to press the RESET control after setting the speed

control to get accurate highway fuel economy readings.

driving a few miles.
