Vehicle Range Description

Vehicle Range is displayed as an estimate of expected remaining driving distance with current fuel level. Driving range is based on the fuel in the tank and fuel economy over the last 40 km (25 miles). Because of the required predictions, displayed Range and actual Range may vary. When calculated Range falls below 65 km (40 miles), the range display will read "LO."

Vehicle Range is calculated by the IPC as described below.

Estimated derivable Range - Distance Traveled/Fuel Used x scale Factor x Filtered Fuel in Tank

This calculation is based on the last 40 km (25 miles) driven and is an estimate of the derivable range. This calculation cannot be reset by the driver.

The data used to calculate range is lost if a battery disconnect has occurred. This portion of the IPC will be dashed if there is a loss of PCM or PZM communications.
