Values displayed
Outside temperature
Indicates the temperature outside the vehicle passenger
compartment.
Range
This indicates the approximate distance that may be trav-
elled with the fuel remaining in the tank, assuming that dri-
ving conditions do not change. The display will show the
reading “----” when the following events take place:
– value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– car left parked with engine running for a long time.
Distance travelled
This value shows the distance covered from the start of
the new journey.
Average consumption
This value shows the approximate average fuel consump-
tion from the start of the new journey.
Current consumption
Indicates the fuel consumption. The value is constantly up-
dated. The message “----” will appear on the display if the
car 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 COMPUTER
Introduction
The Trip computer is used to display information on car
operation when the key is turned to MAR. This function
allows you to define two separate trips, called “Trip A”
and “Trip B”, for monitoring the car’s “complete mission”
(journey) in a reciprocally independent manner.
Both functions can be reset (reset – start of a new jour-
ney).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
– Outside temperature
– Range
– Distance travelled
– Average consumption
– Current consumption
– Average speed
– Journey time (driving time).
“Trip B”, available on multifunction display only, is used to
display the figures relating to:
– Distance travelled B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).
NB“Trip B” functions may be excluded (see “Trip B on”).
“Range” and “Instant consumption” parameters cannot be
reset.

es 99,999.9 km or when the journey time reaches 99.59
(99 hours and 59 minutes);
– disconnection and subsequent reconnection of the bat-
tery.
IMPORTANT The reset operation when “Trip A” details
are being displayed resets only the information associat-
ed with this function.

are being displayed resets only the information associat-
ed with this function.
Start trip procedure
With the ignition key in the MAR position, reset by press-
ing the TRIP button and keeping it pressed for more than
2 seconds.

IMPORTANT If information is not available, the message
“----” will appear instead of the Trip Computer values.
Counting of the different values will resume regularly when
normal operation is restored. This will not reset any of the
values displayed before the failure nor start a new jour-
ney.

a long time. Some precautions are howev-
er needed. Avoid prolonged rubbing against cloth-
ing accessories, such as metal buckles, bosses,
Velcro strips and the like, which by applying a high
