Instantaneous fuel economy calculation function
-
• The instrument cluster calculates the instantaneous fuel economy based on the fuel injection amount and traveled distance over the past
2 s when the vehicle speed is at the set value or more. In addition, the calculation results are updated
every 2 s.
Instantaneous fuel economy formula
• When there is no fuel consumption, such as during engine braking, <0.0 L/100 km> or <99.9 mpg> is displayed.
• The instantaneous fuel economy is displayed when the vehicle speed reaches
7.06 km/h {4.39 mph} or more, and <--- L/100 km> or <--- mpg> is displayed when the vehicle speed decreases to
4.24 km/h {2.63 mph} or less.
Average fuel economy calculation function (With tachometer)
-
• The instrument cluster calculates the average fuel economy based on the traveled distance and fuel consumption from connecting the battery or resetting the average fuel economy. In addition, the calculation results are updated every minute.
Average fuel economy formula
• When the cumulative traveled distance is 0 km {0 mile}, <99.9 L/100 km> or <0.0 mpg> is displayed.
• If the INFO button is pressed for 1.5 s or more while the average fuel economy is displayed, the cumulative fuel economy and cumulative traveled distance data are reset.
• If tripmeter A is reset, the average fuel economy is also reset.
• During the 1 min period after the data has been reset, <--- L/100 km> or <--- mpg> is displayed.
Remaining travel distance calculation function
-
• The instrument cluster calculates the remaining travel distance based on the instantaneous fuel economy at
0.1 km {0.06 mile} prior, cumulative fuel economy, and the fuel tank level. In addition, the calculation results are updated
every 1 s.
Remaining travel distance formula
• The instrument cluster displays <0 km> or <0 miles> when the fuel tank level is 6 L {2 US gal, 1 Imp gal}.
Average vehicle speed calculation function (With tachometer)
-
• The instrument cluster calculates the average vehicle speed based on the cumulative traveled distance and cumulative traveled time from connecting the battery or resetting the average vehicle speed. In addition, the calculation results are updated
every 10 s.
Average vehicle speed formula
• If the INFO button is pressed for 1.5 s or more while the average vehicle speed is displayed, the average vehicle speed (cumulative traveled distance and cumulative traveled time data) is reset.
• During the 1 min period after the data has been reset, <--- km/h> or <--- mph> is displayed.
Vehicle speed alarm function (With vehicle speed alarm)
-
• The instrument cluster compares the current vehicle speed with the speed set by the user and if the current vehicle speed exceeds the set vehicle speed, the alarm is triggered.
• The set vehicle speed can be set in 10 km/h or 10 mph increments between 30 km/h—250 km/h or 20 mph—150 mph.
• If the vehicle speed alarm is not set, <--- km/h> or <--- mph> is displayed.
• The instrument cluster outputs a warning display and warning sound when the current vehicle speed is the same as the set vehicle speed.
• The instrument cluster switches the warning display back to the screen prior to the warning display when the current vehicle speed is -5 km/h {-3 mph} or less than the set vehicle speed.
• The alarm sound pattern is as shown in the figure.

System Wiring Diagram
Operation
1. When the ignition is switched ON (engine on), the instrument cluster receives (1) the vehicle speed signal, fuel injection amount signal, and traveled distance signal from the PCM, and the steering switch operation signal (with tachometer) from the start stop unit via CAN communication.
2. The instrument cluster calculates (2) the instantaneous fuel economy and others based on the received data.
3. The instrument cluster displays (3) the calculated results in the LCD.
Trip computer display switching operation
