Trip Computer - Supplementary Information - Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid Owner's Manual

Trip computer - supplementary
information
The car's trip computer can record, calculate
and show information while driving. Supple-
mentary information of several functions fol-
lows below.
Average
Average fuel consumption is calculated from
the last resetting.
NOTE
There may be a slight error in the reading if
a fuel-driven heater* has been used.
Average speed
The average speed is calculated for the driv-
ing distance driven since the last reset to
zero.
Instantaneous
The information for current fuel consumption
is updated continuously - approximately once
per second. When the car is driven at low
speed the consumption is shown per time
unit - at a higher speed it is shown related to
mileage.
Different units (km/miles) can be selected for
the display - see the section "Change unit" (p.
111).
Range - distance to empty tank
The trip computer shows the approximate
distance that can be driven with the fuel
quantity remaining in the tank.
No guaranteed range remains when the head-
Distance to empty
ing shows "
– In which case, refuel as soon as possible.
The calculation is based on the average fuel
consumption over the last 30 km and the
remaining driveable fuel quantity.
NOTE
There may be a slight error in the reading if
the driving style has been changed.
An economic driving style generally results in
a longer driving distance. For more informa-
tion on how fuel consumption can be influ-
enced, see Volvo Car Corporation 's Environ-
mental Philosophy (p. 19).
Distance to empty battery

display shows the approximate distance that
can be driven with the energy quantity
remaining in the hybrid battery.
The calculation is based on the average fuel
consumption with normally loaded car, with
normal driving and not too many power con-
sumers (stereo, AC, seat heating, etc).

a longer driving distance. For more informa-

Mileage for electric operation
In order to achieve the longest possible mile-
age for electric operation, the driver of an
electric car also has to think about energy
conservation. The more consumers there are
(stereo, electric heating in windows/mirrors/
seats, very cold air from the climate control
system, etc.) that are active - the shorter the
potential mileage.
NOTE
In addition to high current take-off in the
passenger compartment, sudden acceler-
ation and braking, high speed, heavy
loads, low outside temperature and uphill
". The
gradients also reduce the possible driving
distance.
Digital speed display
The speed is shown in the opposite unit
(kmh/mph) in relation to the main instrument.
If it is calibrated in mph then the trip com-
