NOTE

If the connection between the combina-

reason such as vehicle maintenance or
fuse replacement, the data recorded on
the trip meter will be lost.

1)

Current fuel consumption

2)

Average fuel consumption

Current fuel consumption shows the rate
of fuel consumption at the present mo-
ment. Average fuel consumption shows
the average rate of fuel consumption since
the trip meter was last reset.
When the vehicle speed is less than
approximately 6 mph (9.5 km/h), the
current fuel consumption is not displayed.
The displayed number with

“

A

”

is the

average fuel consumption corresponding
to the A trip meter indication, and the
displayed number with

“

B

”

is the average

fuel consumption corresponding to the B
trip meter indication.
Those A and B indications can be
changed by depressing the trip knob.

When either of the trip meter indications is
reset, the corresponding average fuel
consumption value is also reset.

NOTE

.

The indicated values vary in accor-

dance with changes in the vehicle

’

s

running conditions. Also, the indicated
values may differ slightly from the
actual values and should thus be
treated only as a guide.

.

When either trip meter indication is

reset, the average fuel consumption
corresponding to that trip meter indica-
tion is not shown until the vehicle has
subsequently covered a distance of 1
mile (or 1 km).
