Pressing button , the “Trip computer”
function gives is displayed, information relating to the operating status of the
car. This function is resettable.
Values displayed are: Range to empty, Distance travelled, Average consumption, Instant consumption, Average speed, Trip time (driving time). Value selected will be displayed until a new information is requested.
(*) When the Instant consumption value is displayed, the word TRIP will not be displayed.
Start of journey procedure (reset)
To start a new journey, with the key to MAR, press button
with mode
(see paragraph “Control buttons”).
IMPORTANT “Range to empty” information cannot be reset.
Range to empty = shows the distance in km (or miles) that the car can still cover before needing fuel, assuming that driving conditions are kept unvaried. The display will show “- - - -” in the following cases:
❒ range lower than 50 km;
❒ car parked with engine running for long time; when restarting range indication
will be displayed again
Distance travelled = shows the km (or miles) covered from the start of the new mission (*).
Average consumption = shows the average consumption calculated from the start of the new mission (*); this value can be expressed in km/l or l/100 km or in mpg.
Instant consumption = shows fuel consumption variation, this value is updated constantly. If the car is parked with engine running the display will show “- - - -”. When restarting the car, the instant consumption indication will be displayed again.
Average speed = shows the average speed of the car in relation with total time elapsed from the start of the new mission (*).
Trip time = time elapsed from the start of the new mission (*).
(*) New mission = starts from last reset:
– “manual” reset is performed by the driver by pressing the relevant button (see
paragraph “Control buttons”)
– “automatic” reset is performed when the Distance travelled reaches 3999.9 km or
when Trip Time reaches 99:59 (99 hours and 59 minutes)
– after reconnecting the battery.
IMPORTANT Lacking information, Trip computer values are displayed with “- - - -”. When restoring normal operating conditions after a failure, calculation will restart regularly without resetting either previous displayed values or the start of a new mission (*).
IMPORTANT After disconnecting/reconnecting the battery, certain displayed values will be equal to “- - - -” until significant data for recalculation are available.
