resetting the mpg on the lcd

feethanddooth · 03-20-2005, 12:34 PM

this month ive reset the mpg twice on the lcd but have not had the screen up were the reset button is displayed. i noticed it has happened after i have gotten my tanked filled and i was resetting the odometer gauge. is there a link between the two? how can i avoid doing resetting the lcd mpg in the future if this is the case? thanks

The Consumption screen tracker will always reset after you've fill up at least... 2? gallons or more.

Someone previously said that they notice it resetting predictably about a half-block from the gas station. I had never noticed because I habitually and ceremoniously reset it before I even slip into Park.

If you do that you can still see it reset...it will do it again once the tank level graph hits full (a few seconds after actually).

I'm bad with the typos. What I meant was that I reset before I slip into Drive. Or slip out of Park. But of course, I'm in Park when sitting at the station. I'm sure you knew what I meant, I just thought I'd clarify that.

Actually I've watched this and it seems that it doesn't reset until the car hits around 5 mph.

Tony, I think that might've been me. I'm having better luck now. I do believe it'll wait til the gauge reads full

The MFD Consumption display resets to zero when both of the following conditions are met:

1. The fuel gauge has stabilized at its new reading (which must be at least one bar higher than its old reading).

2. The wheels have turned one revolution.

Now THAT makes sense.

Yup, that sounds right to me....I just want to make one tiny clarification. The wheel revolution must occur after the guage has stabilized.

IOW, if you drive off from the pump but then stop before the guage stabilizes the consumption screen won't reset until shortly after you start moving again.
