RANGE XXX
This message shows approximately how many miles the vehicle can be driven without refilling the fuel tank.
Range calculation; the range displayed is an estimate of the expected remaining driving distance with the current fuel level. The vehicle driving range is based on the fuel remaining in the tank and the fuel economy over the last 40 km (25 mi). Since the calculated range parameter is an estimated value, the displayed value and the actual vehicle range may vary. When the calculated range parameter falls below 65 km (40 mi), the range displayed is LOW. The range parameter is calculated by the IPC using the following formula:

(Estimated Range) = (Distance Traveled) / (Fuel Used) x (Scale Factor) x (Filtered Fuel in Tank).

IMPORTANT: This calculation may not be reset by the driver. The data used in order to calculate the range parameter is lost if a battery disconnect occurs.

When the IPC can not communicate with the Rear Integration Module (RIM) dashes are displayed in the miles portion of the message.

XXX MPG INST
This message shows the instantaneous fuel economy in miles per gallon (MPG) or liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km).

Instant Fuel Economy calculation; the instant fuel economy display is based on the previous few seconds of vehicle operation. The Instantaneous Fuel Economy (IFE) parameter is calculated by the IPC using the following formula:

(IFE) = (Distance) / (Fuel Used) x (Scale Factor). The distance is determined from the discrete vehicle speed input to the IPC and the fuel data is received from the RIM.

IMPORTANT: This calculation may not be reset by the driver. The data used in order to calculate the IFE parameter is lost if a battery disconnect occurs.

The message contains dashes if the IPC is unable to communicate with the RIM or PCM via the class 2 serial data line.

X.X MPG AVG
This message shows the vehicles miles per gallon average. When the IPC can not communicate with the Rear Integration Module (RIM) dashes are displayed in the miles portion of the message.

Average Fuel Economy calculation; the display is in liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km) or miles per gallons (MPG) obtained since the last parameter reset The average fuel economy parameter is calculated by the IPC using the following formula:

(Average Fuel Economy) = (Trip Distance) / (Trip Fuel Used) x (Scale Factor).

IMPORTANT: The display contains dashes if the IPC is unable to communicate with the PCM via the class 2 serial data line.

In order to reset, press the INFO up or down button until the message is displayed, then press the INFO RESET button.

X.X GAL FUEL USED
This message shows the fuel used since the last reset. When the IPC can not communicate with the Rear Integration Module (RIM) dashes are displayed in the miles portion of the message.

XXX MPH
This message shows the vehicles speed. When the IPC does not receive a valid VSS input dashes are displayed in the numeric portion of the message.

XXX AVG MPH
This message shows the vehicles average speed since the last reset. When the IPC does not receive a valid VSS input dashes are displayed in the numeric portion of the message.

TIMER
This message operates like a stopwatch. To operate, press the INFO up or down to display TIMER 00:00:00. Press the ON/OFF button to start, press the INFO RESET button to stop it. To reset the timer, press and hold the INFO RESET button until TIMER 00:00:00 is displayed.

XX.X BATTERY VOLTS
This message shows the vehicles battery voltage. When the IPC does not receive a valid battery input dashes are displayed in the numeric portion of the message.

XXX COOLANT TEMP
This message shows the vehicles engine coolant temperature.

IMPORTANT: The numeric portion of the IPC message displays dashes, if there is a loss of PCM communications.

XXX% ENGINE OIL LIFE
Oil life index is calculated by the PCM and sent to the IPC via the class 2 serial data line. Oil life is displayed as XXX% ENGINE OIL LIFE, where ### represents the approximate percentage of useful oil life remaining. When the percent is ten (10) or less the IPC displays the CHANGE ENGINE OIL message.

IMPORTANT: This number portion of the IPC message will display????, if there is a loss of PCM communications.

To reset, press the INFO up or down button to display XXX% ENGINE OIL LIFE, then press and hold the INFO RESET button until 100% ENGINE OIL LIFE is displayed.

XXX% TRANS FLUID LEFT
Trans life index is calculated by the PCM and sent to the IPC via the Class 2 serial data line. Trans fluid life is displayed as XXX% TRANS FLUID LEFT, where ### represents the approximate percentage of useful fluid life remaining. When the percent is ten (10) or less the IPC displays the CHANGE TRANS FLUID message.

IMPORTANT: This number portion of the IPC message will display????, if there is a loss of PCM communications.

To reset, press the INFO up or down button to display XXX% TRANS FLUID LEFT, then press and hold the INFO RESET button until 100% TRANS FLUID LEFT is displayed.
