Range The display shows the distance that can still be covered with the fuelremaining in the tank. Note:this figure may rise if there is a
change in driving style or road sur- face, causing a significant drop incurrent fuel consumption. If there are less than 3 litres of fuel in the tank, only three segments will bedisplayed. Average consumption This is the ratio between the amount of fuel consumed and the distancetravelled since the computer was lastreset to zero.
Current fuel consumption This gives the fuel consumption recorded during the last two sec-
onds. This function is only displayedwhen the vehicle is travelling at morethan 12 m.p.h. (20 km/h). Average speed This is obtained by dividing the dis- tance travelled by the period of timethe vehicle has been in use (with theignition on), since the computer waslast reset to zero.Distance travelled This shows the distance travelled since the computer was last reset tozero. After the trip computer has been reset to zero, the range databecomes meaningful only after thevehicle has been in use for a certainperiod. If horizontal segments are displayed instead of figures when driving, con-
tact a PEUGEOT dealer.
