TRIP COMPUTERGENERAL INFORMATIONThe Trip computer is used to display information on car operation
when the key is turned to MAR.
This function allows you to define two separate trips called “Trip A”
and “Trip B” for monitoring the car's "complete journey" in a
reciprocally independent manner.
Both functions are resettable (reset - start of a new journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
❒Range
❒Distance travelled
❒Average fuel consumption
❒Instant fuel consumption
❒Average speed
❒Trip time (driving time).
“Trip B” may be used to display the figures relating to:
❒Distance travelled B
❒Average consumption B
❒Average speed B
❒Trip time B (driving time).
The “Trip B” function may be disabled (see “Activating Trip B”).
“Range” and “Instant consumption" parameters cannot be reset.
VALUES DISPLAYEDRange
This indicates the indicative distance that may be travelled with the fuel
in the tank, assuming that driving conditions do not change.
The display will show the reading '-----' when the following events take
place:
❒range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
❒car parked with engine running for a long period.
IMPORTANT The range can be affected by several factors: driving style
(see “Driving style” in the “Starting and driving” section), type of
route (motorway, towns and cities, mountain roads, etc.), conditions of
use (load, tyre pressures, etc.). Trip planning must therefore take the
above into account.
Distance covered
Shows the distance covered since the start of the new journey.
Average consumption
Shows the approximate average fuel consumption since the start of the
new journey.
Instantaneous consumption
This indicates the fuel consumption. The value is constantly updated.
The display will show “----”ifthecarisparked with the engine
running.
