Average fuel consumption
The computation is made when the
engine is running. Periods when the
vehicle is parked and the engine is not
running are not included.
New computation:
When this function has been activated
and you press the key, the fuel
consumption is recalculated from that
point in time.
Estimated cruising range
The computer bases its calculations of
the cruising range on the previous
driving style and on the remaining fuel.
When three dashes flash in the display,
the cruising range is below 9 miles
(15 km). You should refuel as soon as
possible.
Refueling is registered by the computer
with the ignition key in position 1 or
higher.
If the vehicle has been parked at
an angle, the cruising range
cannot be displayed accurately. The
display will be corrected while the
vehicle is moving.<
Average speed
Periods when the vehicle is parked and
the engine is not running are not
included in the computation.
At speeds below 100 mph or 100 km/h,
the display includes decimals.
New computation:
When this function has been activated
and you press the key, the average
speed is recalculated from that point in
time.
