INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 116
Trip computer
The car's trip computer records and calculates
vales such as e.g. distance, fuel consumption
and average speed whilst driving.
The information from the trip computer can be shown in
the combined instrument panel's information display.
Trip meter
The trip computer has two trip meters and one
odometer for the total mileage.
Average
Average fuel consumption is calculated from the
last resetting.
NOTE
There may be a slight deviation if a fuel-driven
heater
*
has been used.
Average speed
The average speed is calculated for the driving
distance driven since the last reset to zero.
Instantaneous
The information for current fuel consumption is
updated continuously - approximately once per
second. When the car is driven at low speed the
consumption is shown per time unit - at a higher
speed it is shown related to mileage.
Different units (km/miles) can be selected for the
display - see section "Change unit" (p. 116).
Range - distance to empty tank
The trip computer shows the approximate dis-
tance that can be driven with the fuel quantity
remaining in the tank.
No guaranteed range remains when the heading
Distance to empty
shows "
----
".
•
In which case, refuel as soon as possible.
The calculation is based on the average fuel con-
sumption over the last 30 km and the remaining
driveable fuel quantity.
Distance to empty battery
No guaranteed range remains when the display
shows "
---- km to empty battery ". The display
shows the approximate distance that can be
driven with the energy quantity remaining in the
hybrid battery.
The calculation is based on the average con-
sumption of normally loaded vehicle, during nor-
mal driving and taking into account whether the
air conditioning (AC) is switched on or off.
NOTE
There may be a slight deviation if the driving
style has been changed.
An economic driving style generally results in a
longer driving distance. For more information on
how energy consumption can be influenced, see
Volvo Car Corporation 's Environmental Philoso-
phy (p. 22).
Mileage for electric operation
In order to achieve the longest possible mileage
for electric operation, the driver of an electric car
also has to think about energy conservation. The
more consumers there are (stereo, electric heat-
ing in windows/mirrors/seats, very cold air from
the climate control system, etc.) that are active -
the shorter the potential mileage.
NOTE
In addition to high current take-off in the pas-
senger compartment, sudden acceleration
and braking, high speed, heavy loads, low out-
side temperature and uphill gradients also
reduce the possible driving distance.
