DISTANCE TO EMPTY (DTE)

Displays the estimated distance the vehicle can be driven before refueling. The value is calculated based on recent fuel economy, the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank, and the actual fuel consumption.
Changes in driving patterns or conditions can cause the DTE value to vary. As a result, the value displayed may differ from the actual distance that can be driven.
DTE display will change to “—” when the fuel level in the tank is getting low, prior to the fuel gauge reaching 0 (Empty).

NOTE:

  •  The DTE value after refill is estimated based on recent fuel economy and amount of fuel added.
  • If a small amount of fuel is added, or the ignition is on during refueling, the display may not be updated.
  • Conditions that affect the fuel economy will also affect the estimated DTE value (city/highway driving, idle time, remote start time, terrain, seasonal weather, added vehicle weight, added deflectors, roof racks, etc.).
