Default Display MPG instead of MPH on screen?

Is it possible to have it show MPG with fuel range instead of MPH with Range behind the steering wheel? Thanks!

I've wondered the same thing and don't think you can modify that screen combo. Anyone else jump in if I'm wrong.

Since I don't have an RX, I can't speak to what choices you have on the RX, but, with the ES, if you use the steering wheel buttons to scroll through the settings for the multi-information display, there is the option to choose which 2 information items are displayed on each screen.

So I bet you can do that with the RX as well. Can you tell us how you select the options on the ES?

Just start by using the arrow buttons on the steering wheel to get to the Settings menu (the one that looks like a gear).
Then, select Settings. Scroll down to Meter Settings and select it. Scroll down to Driver Info 1 or Driver Info 2 or Driver Info 3. When you select any of those 3, you will be given the option to choose what information you want to be displayed on that screen.

Hasn't worked for me on RX350, has anyone had luck? Thanks

I just did it.

Under "gear"
"meter settings"
"Driver Info 2"
Settings items to change
Scroll down to second screen and change to "AVG. fuel economy after refuel"


I have RH 450h

I was pretty sure that it worked the same way on the RX as it does on my ES. It is good to see confirmation that that is the case.

Another nice customization that you can do with the multi-information display is that you can set any of those driver information screens as your home screen. Once you have done that, not only will that home screen be the one that appears every time you start the car, but, also, if you scroll to one of the other multi-information display screens, you can return to your chosen home screen by simply pressing the home screen button on the steering wheel.

I see where you can change the individual items this way but it doesn't seem to change which items are displayed together in the screen. Did I do something wrong. OP wants to display fuel range AND avg economy on the same screen.

It worked for me using oldfart’s instructions. I now have range & mpg showing, which is what I asked for. Thanks again.

Thanks, this helped. The Driver 1/2/3 settings and display options were not intuitive and I had to get use to customizing the view a couple times. Compared to previous vehicles, the RX seemed to have made it more complicated than it should be.

Good info!!
On the home screen I deleted the current mpg bar type, which I never look at, to average speed after reset in a digital format. The average speed "indicates" how much city or highway was driven on a tank of gas and how it relates to mpg.
