TRIP COMPUTER

General information
The "Trip computer" is used to display
information on car operation when the
key is turned to MAR-ON. This
function is composed of separate trips,
called "Trip A" and "Trip B" which can
monitor the entire mission (journey)
in a reciprocally independent manner.
Both functions can be reset
(reset means start of a new journey).
"Trip A" is used to display the figures
relating to:
– Range
– Distance A
– Average consumption A
– Current consumption
– Average speed A
– Travel time A (driving time)
– Reset Trip A
24
"Trip B" shall be used to display
the figures relating to:
– Distance B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Trip time B (driving time).
– Reset trip B
Note "Trip B" may be excluded.
"Range" and "Instant consumption"
parameters cannot be reset.
Values displayed
Range
This value shows the distance that
the car can still cover before needing
fuel, assuming that driving conditions
are kept unvaried. The display will
show the reading "----" when the
following events take place:
– range value lower than 50 km
(or 30 mi)
– car parked with engine running for
a long period.
IMPORTANT The range can be affected
by several factors: driving style
(see "Driving style" in the "Starting
and driving" section), type of route
(motorway, towns and cities, mountain
roads, etc.), conditions of use (load,
tyre pressures, etc.). Trip planning must
therefore take the above into account.
Distance travelled
This value shows the distance covered
from the start of the new journey.
Average consumption
This value shows the approximate
average fuel consumption from
the start of the new journey.
Instantaneous 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.
Average speed
This value shows the car average speed
based on the overall time elapsed since
the start of the new journey.
Journey time
Time elapsed since the start of the new
journey.
