Displays the estimated cruising range 
available with the remaining fuel. The sys-
tem calculates the cruising range based on 
operating conditions and the amount of fuel 
remaining in the tank. The basis for the cal-
culations is the average fuel consumption 
over the preceding 20 miles/30 km.

Always refuel as soon as possible 
once your range falls to below 

30 miles/50 kilometers, as otherwise 
engine functions are not ensured and dam-
age can occur.
