Trip Functions
Pressing the STEP button allows you to scroll through
one of the following Trip Function features:
• TRIP – Shows the total distance traveled since the last
reset. To reset the TRIP function, press and hold the
RESET button.
• ELAPSED TIME – Shows the total elapsed time of
travel since the last reset. Elapsed time will increment
when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN or START
positions.
• UNIT IN US/METRIC – Press the RESET button to
toggle between US and METRIC.
• AVG. MPG – Shows the average fuel economy since
the last reset. When the fuel economy is reset, the
display will show dashes for two seconds. Then the
history information will be erased, and the averaging
will continue from the last fuel average reading
before the reset. (Example: If your Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC) displays 18 AVG. MPG and
the RESET button is pressed, the previous averaging
history will be erased and the display will return to the
18 AVG. MPG, not to 0 AVG. MPG). The display may
take several miles for the value to change dependent
upon driving habits. If equipped with a 5.7L engine
and MDS (Multi Displacement System), FUEL SAVER
may be displayed along with the actual AVG. MPG. If
equipped with Multi-Displacement Engine System
(MDS) option, the EVIC will display FUEL SAVER
when in fuel economy mode.
• MI TO EMPTY (Distance To Empty) – Shows the
estimated distance that can be traveled with the fuel
remaining in the tank. This estimated distance is
determined by a weighted average of fuel economy,
according to the current fuel tank level. MI TO EMPTY
cannot be reset through the RESET button.
