TRIP COMPUTER
General features
The “Trip computer” is used to display in-
formation on car operation when the key
is turned to MAR. This function allows to
define two separate trips called “Trip A”
and “Trip B” for monitoring the car’s
“complete mission” in a reciprocally in-
dependent manner.
Both functions are resettable (reset - start
of new mission).
“Trip A” shall be used to display the fig-
ures relating to:
– Range
– Trip distance
– Average consumption
– Instant consumption
– Average speed
– Travel time (driving time).“Trip B” shall be used to display the fig-
ures relating to:
– Trip distance B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).
Note“Trip B” functions may be exclud-
ed (see “Trip B on”). “Range” and “In-
stantaneous consumption” cannot be re-
set.
Values displayed
Range
The distance that can be travelled with the
fuel in the tank is displayed, with the the-
ory that driving will continue in the same
conditions. The display will show the read-
ing “----” when the following events take
place:
– value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– the car is parked with the engine run-
ning for a long time.IMPORTANT The range depends on sev-
eral factors: driving style (see “Driving
style” in “Starting and driving”), type of
route (motorway, urban cycle, mountain
roads, etc…), conditions of use of the car
(load, tyre pressure, etc…). Trip planning
must take into account the above notes.
Distance travelled
This value shows the distance covered
from the start of the new mission.
Average consumption
This value shows the approximate aver-
age consumption from the start of the
new mission.
Instant consumption
This indicates the fuel consumption. The val-
ue is constantly updated. The message
“----” will appear on the display if the car is
parked with the engine running.
