TRIP COMPUTER

General features
The "Trip computer" is used to display
information on car operation when the
key is turned to MAR. This function
allows to define two separate trips
called "Trip A" and "Trip B" for
monitoring the car's "complete mission"
in a reciprocally independent manner.
Both functions are resettable (reset -
start of new mission).
"Trip A" shall be used to display the
figures relating to:
– Range
– Distance
– Average consumption
– Instant consumption
– Average speed
– Travel time (driving time).

"Trip B" shall be used to display the
figures relating to:
– Distance B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time)
– Reset trip B
Note "Trip B" may be excluded.
"Range" and "Instantaneous fuel
consumption" cannot be reset.
Values displayed
Range
This indicates the distance which may
be travelled with the fuel in the tank
assuming that driving conditions will not
change. The message "----" will appear
on the display in the following cases:
– value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– the car is parked with the engine
running for a long time.
IMPORTANT The range depends on
several factors: driving style (see
paragraph "Driving style" in section
"Starting and driving"), type of route
(motorway, urban cycle, mountain
roads, etc...), conditions of use of the
vehicle (load, tyre pressure, etc...). Trip
planning must take into account the
above notes.
Trip distance
This value shows the distance covered
from the start of the new mission.
Average consumption
This value shows the approximate
average consumption from the start of
the new mission.
Instant consumption
This indicates the fuel consumption. The
value is constantly updated. The message
"----" will appear on the display if the car
is parked with the engine running.
