Average fuel consumption (“AVG”
shown on display)
This mode calculates the average fuel
consumption from the total fuel used and
the distance since the last average con-
sumption reset. The total fuel used is cal-
culated from the fuel consumption input.
For an accurate calculation, drive more
than 500 m (0.3 miles).
The meter's working range is from 0.0 to
99.9 l/100 km (0.0 to 99.9 miles per gal-
lon).
Pressing the RESET button for less than
4 seconds, when the average fuel con-
sumption is being displayed, clears the
average fuel consumption to “- -” until the
vehicle is moved to 500 m (0.3 miles).
Outside temperature
This mode indicates the outside temper-
ature around the vehicle.
The meter’s working range is from
-40°C to 60°C (-40°F~140°F).
Unit conversion
The unit on each mode can be changed
by pushing the RESET button for more
than 4 seconds as follows:
Distance to empty: km \b MI
Average fuel consumption: l/100km \b
MPG
Outside temperature: °C \b °F
The units on the mode of distance to
empty and average fuel consumption are
changed together. However, the outside
temperature mode display units are
changed separately.
