Keep pressing key3briefly to
show the following information
in sequence:
a) total mileage recorder,
b) trip mileage recorder,
c) fuel consumed,
d) average consumption,
e) current consumption,
f) estimated range,
g) distance covered,
h) average speed.
Display flashing
Consult a Renault Dealer if the
display flashes.
Interpreting certain values
displayed after resetting
The values showing average fuel
consumption, range and average
speed will become more stable and
reliable the further you travel since
thelasttimetheresetkeywas
pressed.For the first few miles after pressing
the reset button you will notice:
• that the range increases as you
travel. This is normal. Average
fuel consumption may decrease
when:
- The car stops accelerating.
- The engine reaches its operating
temperature (engine cold when
start button pressed).
- When you drive from a built up
area on to the open road.
Therefore, if the average fuel
consumption decreases, the range
will increase.
•Youmayalsonoticethatthe
average fuel consumption
increases when the vehicle is
stationary and the engine idling.
This is normal since the module
takes account of fuel used during
idling.
