The RANGE Button




The RANGE Button calls up a display of the distance that can be travelled with the fuel remaining in the tank, based on average speed. It is not a programmable function.

When in this function, if four flashing dashes appear on the display panel, the range is nine miles or less. Fuel should be added immediately!




A plus sign ( +) before the mileage figures indicates a range greater than the number displayed. or more than a full tank.

Note: The computer will register the addition of fuel only if the ignition switch is in the off or accessory position, and more than a gallon and a half is added to the tank.
