TRIP COMPUTER
IN BRIEF
The Trip computer is used to display
informationon vehicle operation
when the ignition key is turned to
MAR-ON. This function allows you to
define two separate trips, called
"Trip A" and "Trip B", for monitoring
the "complete mission" (journey)
of the vehicle in a reciprocally
independent manner. Both functions
can be reset (reset means start of
a new journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures
relating to:
❒Outside temperature
❒Range
❒Distance travelled A
❒Average consumption A
❒Instant fuel consumption
❒Average speed A
❒Trip time A (driving time).
❒Reset Trip A
"Trip B", available on multifunction
display only, is used to display
the values relating to:❒Distance travelled B
❒Average consumption B
❒Average speed B
❒Trip time B (driving time).21)
Values displayed
Outside temperature
Indicates the temperature outside the
vehicle passenger compartment.
Range (for versions/markets, where
provided)
This indicates the distance that can still
be travelled with the fuel in the tank,
assuming that driving style remains
unvaried. The display will show the
reading '-----' when the following
events take place:
❒range value lower than 50 km (or 30
mi)
❒vehicle is left parked with the engine
running for a long time.
131
Page 136 of 387

IMPORTANT The range can be affected
by several factors: driving style (see
paragraph “Driving style” in the
“Starting and driving” section), type of
route (motorway, towns and cities,
mountain roads, etc…), usage
conditions (load, tyre pressures, etc…).
Trip planning must therefore take the
above into account.
Distance travelled
This value shows the distance covered
from the start of the new journey.
Average consumption (for versions/
markets, where provided)
This value shows the approximate
average fuel consumption from the start
of the new journey.
Instant consumption (for versions/
markets where provided)
This value shows the fuel consumption.
The value is constantly updated. The
display will show “----”ifthecar
is parked with the engine running.Average speed
This value shows the car's average
speed based on the overall time
elapsed since the start of the new
journey.
Trip time
Time elapsed since the start of the new
journey.
IMPORTANT If there is no information,
the Trip computer displays "----" in
place of the value. When normal
operating conditions are restored, the
counting of the various values is
resumed, without either zeroing the
values displayed prior to the problem,
or starting a new mission.
TRIP control button
The TRIP button is located on the right
stalk fig. 152. With the ignition key
turned to MAR-ON, this button allows

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
The warning light switches on together with (where the instrument panel permits) a specific message and/or acoustic signal.
These indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to the
information contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. Always refer to the
information in this chapter in the event of a failure indication.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious failures. Serious faults
are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning "cycle" with a shorter
duration. The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted. The instrument panel warning light will stay on until the
cause of the malfunction is eliminated.
