Automatic resetting will occur

e) current consumption,
f) estimated range,
g) distance covered,
h) average speed.
Refer to the table on the next page
for examples of the displays.
Display flashing
If the display flashes, consult a
Renault Dealer.
Interpretation of certain values
displayed after resetting:
The values for average
consumption, range and average
speed become more stable and
more significant the further the
vehicle is driven after the last reset.In the first few miles after resetting,
you may notice:
• that the range increases as you
drive. This is normal as the average
consumption may reduce when:
- the vehicle is no longer
accelerating,
- the engine reaches normal
operating temperature (reset
when engine was cold),
- you drive from a built up area to
the open road.
If average consumption is
decreased, the expected range
will therefore increase.
• average consumption increases
when the vehicle is stationary and
idling.
This is normal as the computer
takes into account the fuel used
during idling.
