Trip Computer - Volvo XC90 TWIN ENGINE Owner's Manual

DISPLAYS AND VOICE CONTROL

Trip computer

The car's trip computer records and calculates
vales such as e.g. distance, fuel consumption
and average speed whilst driving.
In order to facilitate fuel-efficient driving, informa-
tion is recorded about both instantaneous and
average fuel consumption. The information from
the trip computer can be shown in the driver dis-
play.
Trip computer information in the driver display
The following meters are included in the trip
computer:
•
Trip meter
•
Odometer
•
Instantaneous fuel consumption
•
Distance to empty tank
The figure is schematic - parts may vary depending on car model.
1
86
•
Distance to empty battery
•
Tourist - alternative speedometer
Units for distance, speed, etc. can be changed via
system settings in the centre display.
Trip meter
There are two trip meters, TM and TA.
TM can be reset manually and TA is reset auto-
matically if the car is not used for at least four
hours.
The following information is registered while driv-
ing:
•
Mileage
•
Driving time
•
Average speed
•
Average fuel consumption.
The values apply from the trip meter's latest
reset.
Odometer
1
.
The odometer records the car's total mileage.
This value cannot be reset to zero.
Instantaneous fuel consumption
This gauge shows the fuel consumption that the
car has at the moment. The value is updated
approximately every second.
Distance to empty tank
The trip computer calculates the remaining mile-
age with the fuel available in the tank.
The calculation is based on the average fuel con-
sumption over the last 30 km (20 miles) and the
remaining drivable fuel quantity.
When the gauge shows "----", there is not
enough fuel left to be able to calculate the
remaining mileage. Refuel as soon as possible.
NOTE
There may be a slight deviation if the driving
style has been changed.
An economic driving style generally results in a
longer driving distance.
Distance to empty battery
The gauge shows the approximate dis-
tance that can be driven with the
energy quantity remaining in the hybrid
battery.
No guaranteed range remains when the gauge
shows "----".
The calculation is based on the average con-
sumption of normally loaded vehicle, during nor-
mal driving and taking into account whether the
air conditioning (AC) is switched on or off. When
