Cruising range and average speed
The computer bases its calculations
of the cruising range on the previous
driving style and conditions.
The computer ignores any time spent
with the vehicle stationary and the
engine switched off in its average
speed calculations.
Canceling the display
If the button in the turn signal lever is
pressed briefly while the average speed
is displayed, the computer display can
be masked out.
Restarting calculations
If you continue to press the button in
the turn signal lever, the average values
which were just displayed for fuel con-
sumption and speed will be recalcu-
lated from that point. The engine must
be running for this calculation.
