Is there a way to reset this as the fuel consumption goes from 0 to 99 mpg whilst I'm driving.

I can't find anything in the handbook. It is a 61 Zetec.

Average fuel consumption can be reset , but if your talking on instant fuel consumption then that goes between 0 and 99 and can't be reset as this constant moving figure goes towards you Average fuel consumption.

The live readout is just that - the MPG that your vehicle is worked out to be doing at that particular toe position... so you will not be able to reset the live readings...

I didn't word my question very well. When I bought the car it displayed miles to empty. Suddenly

it shows mpg and as I am driving along shoots up to 100 and then down to 0 which is pretty useless

information to have on the screen. I had trouble finding a way to change it as the handbook was not

a lot of help.

It's also taken me a lot of time to work out how to play music. Having bought a cable for the iPod

which then didn't work I have now settled for a USB stick. I have managed to make my very ordinary Nokia

phone work through the Bluetooth connection so I'm delighted with it.

Thanks for your comments.

You have a switch on the left hand stalk that enables you to toggle through Miles to empty, average MPG. Live MPG, Trip distance, Settings etc. To go into settings you press the button on the end of the stalk while settings is displayed. To reset your average mpg and the trip distance you press and hold the button in whilst on those screens.

Thanks for your reply. That worked on my 05 Focus but my current car does not have that switch on the left hand stalk.

I have now found that the arrows on the right hand side of the steering wheel work that display and I

have reverted to "distance to empty". I usually get there in the end!

So your Focus is a Mk3 Focus with the controls on the steering wheel , i think we assumed it was a Mk2.5.

Is it possible for your mobile to accidently change the average miles until empty? Yesterday I had around 120 miles until empty so I knew the next day I might stick in some more fuel to get me through the week. However I sat in the car with the engine off and it made a weird noise as I used my phone. When I switched the engine one it shot up to 204 miles. 

the miles to empty get recalculated every time you start your car(based on your current average miles per gallon) and if your on a slope it will go up or down depending on where the sender is the noise you probably heard was the pick up pump in the take priming the fuel lines if you turn on your ignition and don't start the car and have a listen you will normally hear a whirring coming from under the rear seats 

Where is miles to empty diplayed on Focus Mild hybrid Titanium 2021 please?! 

Bought 2023 escape hybrid st line   2450 miles was dealer demo. Gas gauge said 397 miles to empty after 5 miles driving it went to 404 miles to empty. I don't understand this

Its an ESTIMATE of how much range you have. It can't predict the future or where or how you will drive. It bases its best 'guess' on how the car has been driven in the last 100 miles.
