Range to empty = shows the distance in km (or
miles) that the car can still cover before needing fuel,
assuming that driving conditions are kept unvaried.
The display will show “- - - -” in the following cases:
❒ range lower than 50 km;
❒ car parked with engine running for long time; when

restarting range indication will be displayed again

Distance travelled = shows the km (or miles)
covered from the start of the new mission (*).

Average consumption = shows the average
consumption calculated from the start of the new
mission (*); this value can be expressed in km/l or
l/100 km or in mpg.

Instant consumption = shows fuel consumption
variation, this value is updated constantly. If the car is
parked with engine running the display will show
“- - - -”. When restarting the car, the instant
consumption indication will be displayed again.

Average speed = shows the average speed of the
car in relation with total time elapsed from the start of
the new mission (*).

Trip time = time elapsed from the start of the new
mission (*).

(*) New mission = starts from last reset:

– “manual” reset is performed by the driver by

pressing the relevant button (see paragraph
“Control buttons”)

– “automatic” reset is performed when the Distance

travelled reaches 3999.9 km or when Trip Time
reaches 99:59 (99 hours and 59 minutes)

– after reconnecting the battery.

IMPORTANT Lacking information, Trip computer
values are displayed with “- - - -”. When restoring
normal operating conditions after a failure, calculation
will restart regularly without resetting either previous
displayed values or the start of a new mission (*).

IMPORTANT After disconnecting/reconnecting the
battery, certain displayed values will be equal to
“- - - -” until significant data for recalculation are
available.
