DTE (Distance To Empty) Indication
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Nissan Sentra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The dte indication provides the driver with an estimation of the distance that can be driven before refueling. The dte is calculated by signals from the fuel level sensor unit (fuel remaining), ECM (fuel consumption) and the ABS actuator and electric unit (vehicle speed). The indication will be refreshed every 30 seconds. When the battery is disconnected and reconnected, dte mode will display "-" until the vehicle is driven 0.3 miles (0.5 km).
