Ambient temperature
Shows the ambient temperature just above the road surface while driving. When the temperature is in the
range 23 - 36° F (-5 - +2° C), the ambient temperature sensor activates an amber warning light. Please
note that this lamp does not indicate a fault with your car.
At low speeds or when the car is not moving, the temperature readings may be slightly higher than the
actual ambient temperature due to the heat generated by the engine.
Tripmeter in miles (Canada: km)
Shows the distance driven since the function was last reset. This value is stored in memory until it is
reset using the reset button on the trip computer control.
Driving distance on current fuel reserve
mile 0 (Canada: km)
Shows the distance which can be driven on the fuel remaining in the tank, calculated on the basis of the
average fuel consumption during the last 12 miles (20 km) dirven and the amount of fuel remaining in
the tank at the time of the reading.
When the quantity of fuel drops to below approximately 1.8 US gals. (8 liters), a warning light in the
instrument panel comes on. When the driving distance on the current fuel reserve is less than 12 miles
(20 km), the display shows "—".
