buttons 2
To reset the trip mileage recorder,
select the “Trip mileage recorder” dis -
play, then press button 2 until the re -
corder is reset.
Journey parameter reset
buttons 2
With one of the trip parameters se -
lected as the display, press button 2
until the display resets.
Interpreting some of the
values displayed after
resetting
The values showing average fuel con -
sumption, range and average speed
will become more stable and reliable
the further you travel after pressing the
reset button.
For the first few miles after pressing the
reset button you may notice:
– That the range increases as you
drive.
This is normal, as average fuel con-
sumption may decrease when:
– the vehicle stops accelerating;
– the engine reaches its operat -
ing temperature (if the engine
was cold when the reset key was
pressed);
– when driving from an urban area
onto the open road.
– You may also notice that the aver -
age fuel consumption increases
when the vehicle is stationary and
the engine idling.
This is normal, since the computer
takes account of fuel used during
idling.
automatic resetting of the
journey parameters
Resetting occurs automatically when
the maximum value of any of the pa -
rameters is exceeded.
