Trip computer
This feature generates much helpful infor
mation by simple touch control. For the driv
er's convenience, the computer's memory
display window is integrated in the instru
ment cluster.
The computer function control
switches are located in the windshield
wiper switch lever.
The switches are functional only when the
ignition is turned on. Depressing the upper
or lower edge of the rocker switch (see ar
row in illustration) will display functions ei
ther in forward or reverse order.
14 6 The
"Reset" touch control on the
bottom of the switch serves several
functions.
By depressing "Reset" for 2 seconds, the
"d riving time", "average fuel consump
ti on", and "average driving speed" can be
reset.
The "miles or kilometres to empty" display
cannot be reset.
By pushing "Reset" briefly, the computer's
alert signal for driving time can be inter
rupted.
The digital display in the instrument cluster
can be switched on and off by pressing the
"R eset" button briefly.
When the ignition is switched on, the
display shows the function that was last se
lected.
All the stored values are cancelled if the bat
tery is disconne cted. The
trip computer has five display modes:
• Instantaneous fuel consumption
• Miles or kilometres to empty
• Driving time (maximum range is
23 hours: 59 minutes)
• Average fuel consump tion
• Avera ge driving speed
The instantaneous fuel consumption is
shown in the illustration by way of an exam
ple.

1/1 00 km -Instantaneous
(MPG) fuel
consumption
Fuel consumed instantaneously IS mea
sured every 1 00 feet or 30 meters and dis
played in units of miles per gallon (MPG) or
liters per 100 kilometres (1/1 OOkm). When
this function is selected right after engine
start -up, the display will show the average
fuel consump tion figure for the first 100
feet or 30 meters. When the vehicle is sta
tionar y, the last unit measured will be dis
played.
km -Kilome tres or miles to
{Mi) empty
The displa yed information (indicated in
stages of 5 miles or 1 0 kilometres) is based
on the average fuel consumption computed
during the last 20 miles or 30 kilometers. This
feature informs the driver how many
miles or kilometres of normal and smooth
driving can be covered with whatever
amount of fuel remains in the tank. Fuel
economy is the result of good driving habits.
h Driving time
Driving time elapsed will remain in storage,
even pfter the ignition is turned off. Further
driving time will be added automat ically af
ter engine restart. Maximum storage and
display range is 23 hours: 59 minutes. To
keep track of driving time between points,
depress "Reset" for zero.
Driving time alert
While driving, the computer will automati
cally switch to the "driving time" display ev
ery two hours. The indicator "2:00" (or
"4:00", "6:00", "8:00" etc.) will blink in the
display window to alert the driver to take a
break. The blinker can be turned off briefly
by pushing "Reset'' or either side of the
switch. If the
ignition is off more than ten minu tes,
the driving time alert counter will automati
cally start again from zero. If the ignition is
off less than ten minutes, the display will
blink again every two hours.
