Range
This display indicates how far the car can prob-
ably be driven on the fuel remaining in the tank.
The range is calculated on the basis of the way
the car has been driven over the past 30 km,
approx. 20 miles, and the amount of fuel cur-
rently in the tank.
If the remaining operating range is below
50 km, approx. 30 miles, it is imperative to
add fuel, otherwise the engine's functions are
not assured and damage may
Average speed
The calculation of average speed ignores any
stationary periods during which the engine was
switched off.
To reset the average speed: press the button in
the turn indicator lever for approx. 2 seconds.
