TRIP COMPUTER
General features
The “Trip computer” is used to display in-
formation on vehicle operation when the
key is turned to MAR. This function al-
lows to define two separate trips called
“Trip A” and “Trip B” for monitoring the
“complete mission” of the vehicle (trip) in
a reciprocally independent manner. Both
functions are resettable (reset - start of
new mission).
“Trip A” is used to display data relating to:
– Range
– Trip distance
– Average consumption
– Instant consumption
– Average speed
– Travel time (driving time).
“Trip B” is supplied on versions having a
multifunctional display and is used to dis-
play data relating to:
– Trip distance B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).
Note“Trip B” functions may be disabled
(see paragraph “Trip B on”). “Range” and
“Instant consumption” cannot be reset.Values displayed
Range
Indicates the travel distance left before the
vehicle runs out of the fuel in the tank.
The message “----” will appear on the dis-
play in the following cases:
– value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– vehicle left parked with engine running
for long.
IMPORTANT Changes of the range value
can be affected by many factors: driving
style (see paragraph “Driving style” in sec-
tion “Starting and driving”), type of route
(motorway, urban cycle, mountain roads,
etc…), conditions of use of the vehicle
(load, tyre pressure, etc…). Trip planning
must take into account the above notes. Exit Menu
This is the last function that closes the set-
ting cycle listed in the initial menu screen.
Briefly press button MENU ESCto go
back to the standard screen without stor-
ing settings.
Press button –to return to the first menu
option (Speed Beep).

Trip distance
Indicates the distance covered from the
start of a new mission.
Average consumption
Represents the approximate average con-
sumption from the start of a new mission.

hicle is parked with the engine running.
Average speed
Represents the vehicle average speed as a
function of the overall time elapsed since
the start of a new mission.
Trip time
Indicates the time elapsed since the start
of a new mission.
IMPORTANT If information is not avail-
able, the message “----” will appear instead
of the Trip Computer values. Counting of
the different values will be resumed reg-
ularly when normal operation is restored.
This will not cause any resetting of the val-
ues displayed before the failure nor start-
ing a new mission.

Putting the seat back in position
To bring the seat back to the normal po-
sition proceed as follows:
❒grab the lever A-fig. 26and lift the
backrest;
❒grab the levers B-fig. 27and lift the back-
rest further more up.
When the passenger’s seat is
in recessed position, the re-
sulting space cannot be used as a
loading compartment. During vehicle
travel we recommend that all objects
be removed or secured so that they
do not become an obstacle or pose
a risk during driving.
If there is no partition between the
cabin and the loading compartment,
large objects or packs may partially
occupy the passenger compartment.
Make sure that these objects or packs
are secured by the supplied restraint
devices, therefore not being an ob-
stacle or posing risks during driving.
WARNING
ACCES TO REAR
SEATS (Combi versions)
Access to the rear seats is gained by open-
ing one of the rear sliding doors (see in-
structions provided in paragraph “Doors”
of this section).
