Trip computer
The trip computer stores information gathered from several systems in
your car and has four menus that can be displayed in the text window.
•
Driving distance on current fuel reserve
•
Average fuel consumption
•
Current fuel consumption
•
Average speed
•
Current speed in mph (Canadian models only)
NOTE: Warning messages from the car’s monitoring systems will
override the trip computer function. If a warning message is displayed
in the text window while you are using the trip computer, you must
acknowledge the message by pressing button A. Press button A again to
return to the trip computer function.
Trip computer controls and functions
The four* trip computer functions can be accessed by twisting control B
one step at a time in either direction. Twisting the control a fifth time**
returns you to the original function.
The trip computer can be reset (current data will be erased from system
memory) by pressing RESET (button C).
1. Driving distance on current fuel reserve
This function shows the approximate distance that can be driven on the
fuel remaining in the tank. This calculation is based on average fuel
consumption during the last 12 miles (20 km) of driving and the amount
of fuel remaining in the tank when the reading was taken.
When the driving distance on current fuel reserve is less than 12 miles
(20 km), “----” will be displayed in the text window.
2. Average fuel consumption
This value indicates fuel consumption since the last time the trip
computer was reset (by pressing RESET, button C). When the engine is
switched off, information on fuel consumption is stored and remains in
system memory until the RESET (button C) is pressed again.
3. Current fuel consumption
This value indicates the current fuel consumption, based on readings
taken once per second. When the car is not moving, “----” will be
displayed.
4. Average speed
This value indicates average speed since the last time the trip computer
was reset (by pressing RESET, button C). When the engine is switched
off, information on average speed is stored and remains in system
memory until the RESET (button C) is pressed again.
5. Current speed in miles per hour (Canadian models only)
This function provides the driver with an instantaneous conversion of the
car’s current speed from km/h to mph.
NOTE: Trip computer readings may vary slightly depending on the
circumference of the tires on the car.
* Five functions on Canadian models
** A sixth time on Canadian models
