Very simple, read the manual! There are differences depending on whether you have Nav or not.

Not answering your question ... but ...

Although, DtoE or range are nice things to know, but they are based on estimated calculation and the owner's manual will tell you not to rely on them [there will be a disclaimer some where].

My recommendation is to fill up once the tank reaches 1/4 or below. The down side is that you have more frequent stops at the gas station and a slightly less mpg. Too many +'s to list.

it's obvious you don't know the answer, and if you do and all you can say is read the manual, then why do you even bother. Yeah, I know you just hate it when people ask stupid questions when all the answers are in the manual. What are you doing here if your not asking stupid questions and not answering stupid questions. If you can't or don't want to answer the question then **** off.

arima, if you have a problem with how another member responds take it to PM or report it to a moderator. Don't engage in personal negative comments. The answer may not be what you wanted to hear, but it wasn't rude nor did it break any CL rules. Either PM the member in question personally to argue about it or ignore it so the rest of the members don't have to read an argument.

If it's a non-navi model, push the INFO button repeatedly, until you get to the DTE. If it's a navi model then push INFO button and the TROP INFO.

If those two don't work, then do what JasDmw had suggested, READ THE MANUAL!

I agree, it didn't sound like Salimshah was trying to make anyone mad, he was answering the question the best way he knew how.
