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 IPC. Fuel Range is calculated using the equation: Fuel Range = Range Distance/Range Fuel Used.

The ECM sends the fuel range value to the IPC. 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 trip/fuel information switch. The Fuel Range display cannot be reset. LOW is displayed when fuel range is below a predetermined value.
