1) My LCD Information Screen has several display options, however the AVG Speed is at 41km and never moves and the AVG Fuel Consumption is at 10.6 but doesn't move. I know that they were working before. The Range and Fuel Economy Bar Displays seem to work fine. I believe they get their readings from the Engine and Gas Tank. But the 2 Displays not working may be get their readings directly from the Wheels???? Which could mean that when Servicing the car and the Tires are rotated the Sensor is knocked off?

2) In the Manual it says that the AWD CVT can't be towed with all 4 tires on the ground. If the car dies in the middle of the street, I guess pushing it out of the way is a no go?

1. Those are averages and shouldn't fluctuate a whole lot. You can reset them and see if they pick up new readings.

2. Pushing it is fine. The intent of the warning is to prevent damage from towing at speed

You have to reset the averages by holding the display button every so often. Otherwise the average gets skewed by the extreme length of time between resets, and it seems like the average never changes.

I like to reset the speed and MPG averages every time I leave on a long trip.

In the settings there is an option to reset automatically when you fill up the tank

That sounds awesome! Does it say how to do that in the manual?

Oh yeah. Page 2-85 in my 2011 owner's manual shows how to get into the setup.

If you do have to push the car, it would be advisable that it is in neutral. Pushing it while in gear will probably not be good for the drivetrain.
