Range onremaining fuel

The range onremaining fueliscontinuously re-
computed whiledriving basedonfuel level, cur-
rent consumption andaverage consumption.
The more thefuel level falls, themore spontane-
ously thedisplay reacts.Forthis reason, rangeon
remaining fuelisnot displayed ifless than 15kilo-
meters (9miles).

If
the vehicle's inclination changeswhiledriving or
refuelling, incorrectrangeinformation maytempo-
rarily begiven.

Note

If the tank isnearly empty andyou add only asmall
quantity offuel, thiscannot beused tocalculate
the range onremaining fuel.
