TRIP COMPUTER
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
General information
Available on cars with reconfigurable
multifunction display, the Trip
computer is used to display
information on vehicle operation
when the key is turned to MAR-ON.
This function comprises “General
trip” concerning the “complete
mission” of the vehicle (journey) and
“Trip B” (only available on
reconfigurable multifunction display)
concerning the partial mission of the
car; this function is included in the
general trip information (as shown in
fig. 54).Both functions can be reset
(reset - start of a new journey).
“General Trip” displays the figures
relating to:
– Range
– Distance travelled
– Average consumption
– Instantaneous consumption
– Average speed
– Trip time (driving time).“Trip B”, available on the
reconfigurable multifunction display
only, displays the figures relating to:
– Trip distance B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Trip time B (driving time).
Note “Trip B” may be disabled (see
“Activating Trip B”). “Range” cannot
be reset.

53
Values displayed
Range
This value shows the distance that
the car can still cover before needing
fuel, assuming that driving style is
unvaried. The display will show the
reading “----” when the following
events take place:
– range value lower than 50 km
(or 30 mi)
– vehicle stopped with engine
running for an extended period.
Distance travelled
This value shows the distance
covered from the start of the new
mission.
Average consumption
This value shows the average
consumption from the start of the
new mission.
Instantaneous consumption
This value shows the fuel
consumption. The value is constantly
updated. “----” will appear on the
display if the vehicle is stopped with
the engine running.Average speed
This value shows the average speed
of the vehicle considering the overall
time elapsed since the start of a new
journey.
Trip time
This value shows the time elapsed
since the start of the new mission.
IMPORTANT In the absence of
information, all Trip Computer
values are displayed with “----”
instead of the value. The various
values will be counted as normal
when standard operating conditions
are restored. This will not reset any
of the values displayed before the
failure nor will it start a new trip.TRIP button fig. 53
The TRIP button is located at the
end of the right stalk. With the
ignition key turned to MAR-ON, it
allows the parameters described
previously to be viewed, as well as
reset for a new trip:
– brief press to access the various
parameter displays
– long press to reset and thus start
a new mission.
