TRIP COMPUTER

General information

The Trip computer is used to display information on
car operation when the key is turned to MAR.
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 travelled
❒ Average consumption
❒ Current consumption
❒ Average speed
❒ Trip time (driving time).
“Trip B” may be used to display the figures relating
to:
❒ Distance travelled B
❒ Average consumption B
❒ Average speed B
❒ Trip time B (driving time).

Note The “Trip B” function may be disabled (see
“Activating Trip B”). “Range” and “Instant
consumption" parameters cannot be reset.

Values displayed

Range
It indicates the distance that can still be travelled
based on the fuel in the tank assuming that driving
conditions will not change. 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.
Current consumption
This indicates the fuel consumption. The value is
constantly updated. The display will show "----" if the
car is parked with the engine running.
