Fuel Range

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2008 GMC Yukon XL, 2008 GMC Yukon, 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2008 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche. 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 IPC. 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 ECM sends the fuel range value to the IPC. The IPC receives a serial data message with the fuel information. The fuel range value is retained during ignition OFF and can be changed between English and Metric units by accessing the DIC English/Metric menu. The Fuel Range display cannot be reset. LOW is displayed when fuel range is below a predetermined value.
