Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption since the memory was last erased is shown in the

you must set the memory to zero at the start of the measurement using the button

Range
The estimated range in kilometres is shown on the display. It indicates the distance

the same style of driving.
The readout is shown in steps of 10 km. After lighting up of the indicator light for
the fuel reserve the display is shown in steps of 5 km.
The fuel consumption for the last 50 km is taken as a basis for calculating the range.
If you drive in a more economical manner from this moment on, the range will be
increased accordingly.
If the memory is set to zero (after disconnecting the battery), the fuel consumption
of 10 ltr./100 km is calculated for the range; afterwards the value is adapted accord-
ingly to the style of driving.
