Vehicle Info Screen and Distance to Empty problem
Posted: Tue Dec 25, 2012 8:19 pm
In the instrument panel, the vehicle information screen always displays a gas icon (I'm guessing is distance to empty), the 4x4 mode, and outdoor temp.
Two issues I'm having with my screen... On the trip odometer page, there are 4 things showing: Under the Average column it has MPG and MPH. Under the driving column it has something with miles, and some sort of clock? What is that column supposed to be indicating? This
http://youtu.be/ROwOZTnViYA video says its time driven since last reset and also distance to empty. I just filled up my tank and the distance to empty says 150miles on this screen. (Yet, it says 388 miles) on the top bar of the vehicle information screen. Also, when they say "last reset," what does that mean? The last factory reset, or the last trip reset? I've reset both trip A and trip B, and the information shown on the odometer display from the vehicle info screen has not changed or reset, it still remains that same. I've even reset fuel economy through the nav, but that has no change on the vehicle info screen on the instrument panel.
Secondly, I've put about 170 total miles on the car so far and would expect to have about 250+ miles left on the tank, which is what the car was appropriately indicating. Today, I parked on a slight hill and when I turned on the car, the distance to empty said 400 miles all the sudden and the gas gauge was on full. I figured it was because the gas was leaning on the sensor. After driving for 15 minutes, the fuel gauge needle finally stabilized, but distance to empty stayed just under 400. Anyone else see something similar?
I was a little worried about the gas part, so I went ahead and filled up the tank again. We're now indicating 388 and full tank on the needle gas gauge. *sigh*
