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.

Just hold both buttons down and then look through the settings theres only like 6 things in there its pretty obvious

For those of you without a manual [handy]:

Setting Mode
When the ignition mode is changed to
“ON” by pressing the engine switch and
the vehicle is stationary, you can enter the
setting mode of the information display by
pulling and holding the DISP switch (2) for
more than 3 seconds.

• To select the setting that you want to
change, pull the TRIP switch (3).
• To change the setting, pull the DISP
switch (2).
• To exit the setting mode, select “Back”
and pull the DISP switch (2).
NOTE:
• If you pull and hold the DISP switch (2)
to enter the setting mode when the display
(B) shows average fuel consumption
or average speed, the value will be
reset simultaneously. If you do not want
to reset the value, pull the DISP switch
quickly to switch the indication of the display.
• If you press the engine switch or start to
move the vehicle when the display is in
the setting mode, the setting mode will
be canceled automatically.

Distance units
You can change the units odo/trip meter
distance is displayed in.
NOTE:
When you change the units odo/trip meter
distance is displayed in, the trip meter will
be reset automatically.

Fuel economy units
You can change the units that fuel consumption
is displayed in.

Language
You can change the language of the information
display.

Avg. fuel economy reset
You can change when the value of average
fuel consumption is reset.

Temperature units
You can change the units that temperature
is displayed in.
NOTE:
When you change the units that temperature
is displayed in, the air conditioning
system temperature display units will be
changed automatically.

Foot lights
The foot lights can be programmed for
interlocked operation with either lighting
control or door operation and for no lighting.

Default setting
If you select “YES” and pull the DISP
switch (2), all settings will be reinitialized.

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.
