INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
TRIP COMPUTER
General
When the electronic key is inserted in the ignition
block, the “Trip computer” allows you to view
the vehicle mileage features. This function
comprises the “Trip A” function which monitors
total mileage, and the “Trip B” function which
monitors trip mileage; the latter function is
“contained” in the total mileage function.
Both functions can be reset (reset when setting
off on a new trip).
Trip A and B allow you to view the following
values:
- Fuel range
- Distance travelled
- Average fuel consumption
- Instantaneous fuel consumption
- Average
speed
- Travel time
Values displayed
Fuel range
It indicates the distance you can still travel with
the fuel left in the tank, assuming you continue
travelling at the same speed.
A specific message will be shown on the display
“----“ when the following events occur:
- when the fuel range is less than 50 km (or
30 mi)
- if the vehicle is stopped with the engine
running for more than 3 minutes.
Distance travelled
It indicates the distance travelled from the
beginning of a new trip.
Every time the battery is connected and at the
beginning of each new trip (reset) the display
indicates the value “0.0”.
WARNING: If there is no information, all the
Trip Computer indicators will show “-” instead of
the value. When correct operation is resumed,
the counter resumes regular operation as well,
without resetting the values displayed prior to
the malfunction nor restarting the count from
zero as for a new trip.
Average fuel consumption
This is the average fuel consumption from the
beginning of a new trip.
