ON-BOARD COMPUTER: general information (2/2)
Resetting the trip mileage
With “trip mileage recorder” selected on 
the display, press button 2 or 3 until the 
mileage recorder resets to zero.
Resetting the journey 
parameters (reset button)
With one of the trip parameters selected 
as the display, press and hold button  2 
or 3 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 key you will notice that the 
range increases as you travel. This 
range takes into account the average 
fuel consumption since the last time the 
reset button was pressed. Therefore, 
the average fuel consumption may de-
crease when:
–   the vehicle stops accelerating;
–   the engine reaches its operating 
temperature (if the engine was cold 
when the reset key was pressed);
–   when driving from an urban area 
onto the open road.
Automatic resetting of the 
journey parameters
Resetting occurs automatically when 
the maximum value of any of the pa-
rameters is exceeded.2
