Range

This is the distance that can still be travelled
on the amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
When the distance remaining to be travelled is

less than approx. 25 km (16 miles), only three

dashes will be displayed.

Average consumption

This is the relationship between the fuel con-
sumed and the distance travelled since the last
reset to zero of the trip computer.

Instantaneous consumption

This is the result from the consumption

recorded within the last 2 seconds. This func-

tion is only available when travelling at over

30 km/h (approx. 20 mph).

Average speed

This is obtained, from the last reset to zero of the
trip computer, by dividing the distance travelled
by the time taken (with ignition switched on).

Distance travelled

This is the distance that has been travelled

since the last reset to zero of the Journey

selected.

Distance to be travelled

To enter it, see “Multifunction display”.
