  • Dashboard Display - Fuel Ecconomy

    On my dashboard display is the fuel economy (after refuel _ _l/100km). I believe this is should reset each time the vehicle is refuelled. I'm not seeing that happen. On my display it is constantly getting worse but I don't think my vehicle is getting worse in its economy. When I first bought the vehicle it was down low in the single figures but now with use and several refills, its up to 15. It doesn't seem to reset. I read that if I disconnect the battery it will reset but I am afraid of having to go through the hassle of resetting the radio codes and any other problem that default computer issue that may arise. Am I missing something or doing something wrong?

    I think I may have posted this in the wrong place but I don't know how to move it to.

    It doesn't automatically reset, you have to do it manually. With the in-dash display on the l/100km display, hold the button in and it will reset. Same as if you're resetting the trip meter, average speed, etc.

    Don't pay too much attention to the number it reads as it's generally considered not to be terribly accurate. I've compared my measured values against this display and sometimes it's close, some times it reads under and some times it reads over. I've not been able to pick any consistent error.

      I have tried resetting using the dashboard button in the RHS side of the steering wheel and I have tried resetting using the button on the LHS side of the wheel on the display but the reading on the display doesn't reset. Funny thing is the reading for the current range is also getting less each time I refill as it is based on the figure for the average fuel consumption which is always increasing. I can see (if I keep the car long enough) there will come a time when the cruise range will read 0 and the fuel consumption will be in the 100's. But yes it is only a guide but there must be a way of resetting it. What happens if I go to the servo each day and only put in a couple of litres?

        This wont work, on my car it seems refilling when above about 2/3 of a tank will not reset the after refill counter.

            I worked it out today. The average L/100km is reset by the reset by the reset button to the right of the centre display in the GXL. Hold the button and both are reset to 0.0.

            Hard to see but they are both reset.

              Yes I can do this, but what about the l/ 100km after next refuel screen. I'm guessing this can't be reset manually. On my vehicle this number is ever increasing. I have been working on my vehicle which requires the engine running without going anywhere and while this happens the economy reading is at its worst. I'm guessing that's what is blowing the reading out of proportion. That's why I want to reset it but what I'm hearing that can only happen after a refill of at least half a tank or so.

                That would explain it, I think my smallest refuel to date is about 80L, so my "after refuel" has always reset.
