Fuel Range

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Pontiac G5 and 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This message indicates the estimated distance that the vehicle can travel under the current fuel economy and fuel level conditions since the last reset of the value. Fuel Range is calculated using the equation: Fuel Range = Distance Sum/Fuel Sum.

Distance Sum = The accumulated distance travelled since the last reset of this value.
Fuel Sum = The accumulated fuel delivered since the last reset of this value

The DIC receives a serial data message from the BCM with fuel information. The value of this mode is retained during ignition OFF and can be changed between English units and metric units. The FUEL RANGE display cannot be reset.
