Fuel Mode

FUEL RANGE
The Fuel Range display is the estimated distance that the vehicle can travel based on current fuel economy, fuel level and fuel capacity conditions. The DIC receives class 2 messages from the PCM indicating the cumulative fuel, fuel level percent and the fuel capacity. The DIC uses the distance information from the 4 kppm vehicle speed signal from the PCM. The fuel range parameter is displayed in the DIC in one of the following formats:
^ FUEL REMAINING RANGE: LOW MI
^ FUEL REMAINING RANGE: LOW km
^ FUEL REMAINING RANGE: ### MI
^ FUEL REMAINING RANGE: ### km

The ### represents the calculated fuel range value. When the fuel level is in the low range there are no units displayed. The units of the display are English and metric and the fuel range cannot be reset by the driver.

AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY
he Average Fuel Economy (AFE) is calculated from fuel usage and distance traveled information from the PCM. The vehicle fuel usage information is transmitted class 2 to the DIC and distance traveled is based on 4 kppm vehicle speed signal from the PCM.

Pressing the Reset button while the Average Fuel Economy is displayed in the DIC will reset the Average Fuel Economy data value currently displayed. Average Fuel Economy is capable of displaying values from 0.0 to 99.9.

Display appears as: AVG FUEL ECON: ##.# MPG (English), AVG FUEL ECON: ##.# L/100 km (Metric).

INSTANTANEOUS FUEL ECONOMY
The Instantaneous Fuel Economy is calculated from fuel usage and distance traveled information from the PCM. The vehicle fuel usage information is transmitted class 2 to the DIC and distance traveled is based on 4 kppm vehicle speed signal from the PCM. Instantaneous Fuel Economy (IFE) is capable of displaying values from 0 to 99 in whole number increments. The minimum displayed data value for the IFE is 0 MPG (English) and 99 L/100 km (Metric).

Display appears as: INST FUEL ECON: XX MPG (English), INST FUEL ECON: XX L/100 km (Metric).

Values for the Instantaneous Fuel Economy vary in low speed condition. If the vehicle speed is less than 1.2 mph, the FE value will display 0 MPG.

BLANK DISPLAY
The DIC displays no information when selected from the Fuel Mode. If the it is the last displayed parameter before exiting the Fuel Mode, the Fuel Range parameter will be displayed first when re-entering the Fuel Mode.
