yeah it's the one with the little arrow...either of the two DIC buttons will clear it off of the low fuel message...

Don't let anything take over your DIC.

Be the master of your DIC.

I agree, man must be in control of his DIC at all times

I just filled my tank up and I had gone about 405 and the DIC told me I could go about another 70 or so

Sometimes you just have to ignore the DIC...

I've never had it say 500 miles...but mostly when I fill up it says 410...and then depending on how I drive leaving the station it goes up to 450 sometimes...

I'm still not going off what the...display says. I think after the first oil change and probably after 10,000 miles the ...display... will be accurate.

Miami city traffic is just as bad as NY. I don't think mine has said anything over 20 MPG.

That could be because 75% of my driving is trips of less than 5 miles at a time. And sometimes it could take over 1/2 hour to go that far!
