displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (10 0 km).
Range
(miles or km)The distance which can still be
travelled with the fuel remainingin the tank. Related to theaverage fuel consumption over
the last few miles (kilometres)travelled.


Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated over the last few seconds.


Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated since the last trip
computer reset.


Distance travelled
(miles or km)
Calculated since the last tripcomputer reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)Calculated since the last trip computer reset.
Distance remaining todestination
(miles or km)This is the distance remaining to be
travelled to the final destination. It
is either calculated instantly by the
