Fuel Range
This message indicates the estimated distance that the vehicle can travel under the current fuel economy and fuel level conditions since the last battery connection to the instrument cluster. Fuel Range is calculated using the equation: Fuel Range = Range Distance/Range Fuel Used.
- Range Distance = The accumulated distance travelled since the last reset of this value.
- Fuel Used = The accumulated fuel delivered since the last reset of this value
The engine control module (ECM) sends the fuel range value to the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster receives a serial data message with fuel information. The fuel range value is retained during ignition OFF and can be changed between Europe-SI, USA and GB units by accessing the driver information center Units menu. The Fuel Range display cannot be reset.
LOW is displayed when fuel range is below a predetermined value.
FILL FUEL is displayed when the fuel level reaches approximately 8% of fuel capacity and remains on until fuel level is increased above 8%. If FILL FUEL message is displayed, the DIC buttons are disabled.
Average Fuel Economy
Average fuel economy is calculated using the equation: Average Fuel Economy = Distance/Fuel
- Distance = The accumulated distance travelled since the last reset of this value
- Fuel = The accumulated fuel consumption since the last reset of this value
The ECM sends the average fuel economy serial data message to the instrument cluster. The value of this mode is retained during ignition OFF and can be changed between English units and metric units by selecting from the driver information center options menu.
Instantaneous Fuel Economy
The ECM sends the instantaneous fuel economy serial data message to the instrument cluster. The value of this mode can be changed between English units and metric units by selecting from the driver information center options menu.
Average Vehicle Speed
Average speed is calculated using the equation: Average Speed = Average Speed Distance/Average Speed Time
- Distance = The accumulated distance travelled since the last reset of this value
- Ignition ON = The accumulated ignition on time since the last reset of this value
Outside Air Temperature
The outside air temperature can be accessed through the driver information center Trip/Fuel switch function. The driver information center shows the outside air temperature as a damped value. The time and rate of the temperature update is based on an algorithm in the instrument cluster. Factors such as last temperature reading, current temperature reading, length of time the vehicle was off, current vehicle speed, and the distance driven effect when the displayed temperature is updated. To get the vehicle to display the most accurate temperature faster, drive the vehicle. Constant moving traffic will update the display to the correct temperature more quickly than stop and go traffic.
Units Menu
The unit mode is used to toggle between Europe-SI, USA and GB units and can be accessed through the driver information center Menu switch and the driver information center Set/Reset switch.
Compass
The vehicle may have a compass display on the Driver Information Center. The compass receives its heading and other information from the Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna. If applicable, the GPS antenna is located with the telematics communication interface control module.
