Warning messages from the car's monitoring systems will override the trip computer function.
If a warning message is shown in the information display while you are using the trip computer:
1. Acknowledge the message by pressing the READ button (A).
2. Press button A again to return to the trip computer function.
Controls
The trip computer functions can be accessed by twisting INFO (B) one step at a time in either direction. Twisting a final

Resetting
AVERAGE (average fuel consumption) and AVERAGE SPEED can be reset.
1. Select one of these functions.
2. Press RESET (C).
Holding RESET for at least five seconds resets both functions at the same time.
MILES TO EMPTY TANK
This function shows the approximate distance that can be driven on the fuel remaining in the tank. This calculation is
based on average fuel consumption during the last 20 miles (30 km) of driving and the amount of fuel remaining in the
tank when the reading was taken. When the driving distance on current fuel reserve is less than 12 miles (20 km), "----"
will be displayed in the information display.
AVERAGE
This value indicates fuel consumption since the last time the trip computer was reset (by pressing RESET, button C).
When the engine is switched off, information on fuel consumption is stored and remains in system memory until the
RESET (button C) is pressed again.
INSTANTANEOUS
This value indicates the current fuel consumption, based on readings taken once per second. When the vehicle is not
moving, "----" will be displayed.
AVERAGE SPEED
This value indicates average speed since the last time the trip computer was reset (by pressing RESET, button C). When
the engine is switched off, information on average

The compass may need to be calibrated in certain cases. If calibration is required, the character C appears in the mirror's
display.
The earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones. The compass is initially set for the zone to which the vehicle was delivered,
and should always be adjusted if the vehicle is driven to a new magnetic zone. A "C" will be displayed if calibration
becomes necessary.
