NOTE: Warning messages from the car's monitoring systems will override the trip computer function.
If a warning message is shown in the information display while you are using the trip computer, you
must acknowledge the message by pressing the READ button (A). Press button A again to return to the
trip computer function.
Controls
The four trip computer functions (five on Canadian models) can be accessed by twisting INFO (B) one
step at a time in either direction. Twisting a fifth time (sixth time on Canadian models) returns you to the
original function.
The trip computer can be reset (average fuel consumption and average speed will be erased from system
memory) by pressing RESET (C) for at least five seconds.

Driving distance on current fuel reserve

This function shows the approximate distance that can be driven on the fuel remaining in the tank. This
calculation is based on average fuel consumption during the last 20 miles (30 km) of driving and the
amount of fuel remaining in the tank when the reading was taken. When the driving distance on current
fuel reserve is less than 12 miles (20 km), "---" will be displayed in the information display.

Average fuel consumption

This value indicates fuel consumption since the last time the trip computer was reset (by pressing
RESET, button C). When the engine is switched off, information on fuel consumption is stored and
remains in system memory until the RESET (button C) is pressed again.

Current fuel consumption

This value indicates the current fuel consumption, based on readings taken once per second. When the
car is not moving, "---- " will be displayed.

Average speed

This value indicates average speed since the last time the trip computer was reset (by pressing RESET,
button C). When the engine is switched off, information on average speed is stored and remains in
system memory until the RESET (button C) is pressed again.
Current speed in m.p.h. (Canadian models only)
This function provides the driver with an instantaneous conversion of the car's current speed from km/h
to m.p.h.
NOTE: Trip computer readings may vary slightly depending on the circumference of the tires on the car
or on tire inflation.
