Range XXX

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 messages.

This message shows approximately how many miles the vehicle may be driven without refilling the fuel tank.

The range displays 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 parameter falls below 65 km (40 mi), the range displayed is LOW.

The IPC uses the following formula in order to calculate the range parameter:
(Estimated Range) = (Distance Traveled) / (Fuel Used) x (Scale Factor) x (Filtered Fuel in Tank).
