Average Fuel Consumption - BMW 730i Owner's Handbook Manual

Add fuel in good time, as certain engine
functions are not assured if the fuel level
is allowed to fall very low, and damage may
occur.<
Range
This display indicates how far the car can prob-
ably be driven on the fuel remaining in the tank.
It is calculated on the basis the way the car
has been driven over the past 30 km, approx.
20 miles.
If the range is below 50 km, approx.
30 miles, you must refuel the car, other-
wise the engine's functions are not assured and
damage may occur.<
The computer registers fuel added to the tank if
the quantity exceeds approx. 5 litres, approx.
1.1 gal.

The remaining distance to your destination is
displayed if you have entered a distance in the
navigation system, see page 133, or a distance
manually in the computer before the start of
your journey, see page 75.

planned by the navigation system is automati-
cally used.
If you enter a destination in the navigation
system, any manual inputs are overwrit-
ten by the calculated distance after approx.
500 m or 625 yd, at the
