Fuel Range

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Chevrolet Spark. 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 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.
