play just before the ignition switch is
placed in the OFF position may con-
tinue to be displayed.
●When driving uphill or rounding curves,
the fuel in the tank shifts, which may
momentarily change the display.

on fuel consumption since the last reset. The
display is updated every 30 seconds and 1/3 mi
