Trip computer

Controls
To access the trip computer information, you
must turn the ring (B) in steps, either forward or
backward. By turning again, you return to the
starting point.
If a warning message interrupts while
you are using the trip computer, you must first
acknowledge the message by pressing the
READ button (A) to return to the trip computer.
Functions
The trip computer receives a great deal of data
that is continuously evaluated by a microproc-
essor. The system has four functions which are
shown in the display:
• Average speed
• Current fuel consumption
• Average fuel consumption
• Range to empty fuel tank
Average speed
The average speed since the last reset (RESET).
When the ignition is switched off, the average
speed is stored and used as the basis of the new
value when you continue driving. This can be
reset with the RESET button (C) on the lever.
Instruments and controls
Current fuel consumption
Continuous information on current fuel
consumption. Fuel consumption is calculated
every second. The figure in the display is
updated every couple of seconds. When the car
is stationary, "----" is shown in the display.
The displayed value may be slightly off
if a fuel-driven heater is used.
Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption since the last
reset (RESET). When the ignition is switched
off, the average fuel consumption is stored and
remains until reset with the RESET button (C)
on the lever.
The displayed value may be slightly off
if a fuel-driven heater is used.
Range to empty fuel tank
Displays the approximate distance that can be
driven with the remaining fuel, calculated using
the average fuel consumption over the last 30
km and the remaining quantity of fuel. When
the range to empty is less than 20 km, "----" is
shown in the display.
The displayed value may be slightly off
if a fuel-driven heater is used.
